So after a broken pelvis (Oct 2010) and a fixed knee(DEC 2010) I decided it was eventually to drag my lazy ass out of the office and back to a track. Sunday morning myself and a few of the regulars headed to 'Toms Farm' in Tullow, Co Carlow. It's a full time motocross practice track, seems to be open any day but I'd call in advance to double check(0876816463).

You can contact the track owner on Facebook HERE . While you're there don't forget to 'friend' our account HERE.

They charged €25 for a full day of practice. The track was suitable for beginners but still has doubles, rhythm sections and big table-tops for expert riders. It's exceptionally well looked after. There seems to be some drift car practice going on there too (massive yard attached).

The video is from Robin Watsons helmet. That's me on the red Honda, number 42, white boots.

Derek.

PS I almost couldn't get up on Monday morning - FACT.
