A single and a cool double

Fab day out today to a local vineyard (did not even know we had those in the UK)

Great day with good sustained gear changes (this is where you change gear without taking your foot off the gas pedal, helps maintain momentum of the vehicle). This is a seriously hard skill to get right and I spend most of the time kangerooing my poor passengers around. Today however, finally got his sorted.

The other key skill, which is completely different to the way we 'normally' drive is overtaking. Not always so easy to practice these when driving an under powered transit van.

Got a cracking single overtake and really cool double in, with a good space between the two cars we took. Did this whilst the other group were in the pursuit vehicle.

Country roads today
