I'm up in Cheshire for a friend's wedding in a couple of weeks, and I'm a bit disappointed that it's right when I'm trying to get back into TTs.
There are a couple of interesting looking runs the following morning; a quick-looking 25 on the south edge of the Lakes and a 50 in Shropshire.
I'm not a big drinker anyway, and would probably need to either drive home from the wedding or get a lift back while my parents are still awake.
Is it ridiculous to try and combine a morning TT with a wedding? And is it worth the extra 25 minutes on the drive to do a fast 25 over a rolling 50?
Defo do it. You’ll never regret racing, you may regret not. There’s an extra smugness to fitting in maximum activities / enjoyment in a weekend too.
It is if you're me. I don't regain consciousness until at least 5pm the next day...
One of my club mates (not Martyn Roach) claims that he failed to win the BBAR in 1970 because his brother's wedding was on the Saturday before the crucial 100.
It's still worth a try though!
