Racing in the Park - Aberdare 2014

Post by Zunspec4 »

Hello all,

I had a great day out at the Aberdare Road Races on Saturday in glorious sunny weather :D . The racing takes place around the municipal park in Aberdare, Wales and is amazing. Lap record is something like 38s with average speed over 75 mph.

I met this dodgy geezer :up: with a genuine Seeley Suzuki, which was going to be taken out in one of the parade sessions.

Hi dollydog,

A blast from the past :up:

I sponsored the 250 Air Cooled class that year (2014) with prize money + trophies , a sort of "bucket list" ambition fulfilled.

Cheers Geoff
