BikersDays seem to have taken a leaf out of No Limits philosophy - lovely people but an utterly frustrating website. It's managed to disable two profiles I've set up and currently Spa 28 & 29th has disappeared from their calendar. mad

The days are back!
The days might be back but booking them still seems to be an issue.

'This login has been disabled' shows when I try, so I've registered under a work email address and borrowed the wife's one but no, they've got me sussed out, and they're all disabled apparently. Tried phoning them, as has the other two people I'm trying to book with and no answer.

Off on holiday tomorrow and I now cannot be arsed. Will have another attempt when I get back but if it's too much like hard work, sold out or it's not supposed to happen then I will book something else instead.

Will you say "Hi" this time instead of hiding wink. I kept asking random people stopping in our pit if they were "Obscene" at PH Snetterton.

If I book on, I shall! Plus not hard to miss a guy with a big ginger beard on a bright red noisy bike.

Aragon with NL at the end of September. Week after the moto gp I think so might make a 10 day holiday out of it.

Please tell me no one else has managed to book Spa on the last bank holiday in May? It's like booking tickets for Glastonbury Festival - they've clearly got me marked as an undesirable or something (they might have a point but it is annoying).

anyone going away soon? im starting to get the serious bike itch but luckily head of to cartegena in 3/4 weeks. Canny bloody wait mon. Then currently torn whether to book portimao or aragon to book end the uk season off in september. Ive got to drag my wife and kid with me and everyones saying to avoid aragon as its in the middle of nowhere but it looks an amazing circuit. Is it worth lying to the mrs and making her sit in the desert just to ride it...

Doing aragon in September, work schedule permitting.

Got email from NL today with Jerez hotel info/transport plot.

Is shrink wrap a must have for packing the crates?

I'm eyeing up Catalunya at the end of the year having done Aragon last year.

Shrink wrap isn't compulsory but once you've used it you won't want to be without it. Got to be clear though.

Yay, 7 weeks and counting! I booked a car if anyone wants to share. Taking the 15:30 from Gatwick to Seville on 4 March and then coming back on 7th March at 20:45.

Yay! 6 weeks and counting! Someone needs to start a Jerez thread, 2016 Rnd 1 of the BB as a collective doing track stuff.

Think we're on the same return flight as you (BA?) but on an earlier flight outbound on the Friday with Easyjet. Hopefully catch a bit of MotoGP testing maybe.

Just paid off Jerez today so I asked how fast Catalunya in Oct was booking up. One of the fast groups (it's a 4 grouper) and the Inters are booked up already, only the other fast group and novice got spaces so I've just booked up. Yay!

Did you need to be back for the following day - Jon and Dan , above ? A real shame to ( have to ?) book flights getting in lateish on pre-day 1, and packing up the stillages then racing for flights home on the final day ....tends to turn it into pretty much a 2.5 dayer at best , missing the peach clear track final afternoon sessions and the monumental last night post-match mega piss up ....
Not to worry - just my way of thinking ...last extra night always a blinder ! See you there chaps. smile

All things being equal I normally try to come back the day after in a relaxed style. There are 6 of us going (4 riding) and general consensus was not to burn too much holiday so we can do a couple of them this year as well as normal non bikey stuff.

I know this feeling, my bike goes off to cartegena next saturday so spent most of this week stripping stuff and fitting some new seals on the water pump, changing ooil and sprockets and generally trying to keep my fingers from getting frostbite.

Oh not really I guess, I never thought about it. I will try to change and have a more involved event (i.e., pissup at end) :-)

Can we unpack pre-day 1, or do we have to wait until the first "official" day?

You unpack the morning of the event. It's a bit of a rush as you have to ave your one and only briefing as well.

The hotel will generally have breakfast early on the first day to give you a bit of extra time

Are we allocated garage space or is it just a mad rush on the first morning?

Are people at the circuit for 7am?
