motorcycle racing

[Brucey]

I'm looking for some bike racing on the weekend of 16th and 17th August that my dad and I can ride to and camp. It needs to be within a three hour ride from Oxford. Any suggestions? Hopefully I've inherited all of his useful genes: he's 75 and rides a CBF1000, and he's got more points on his licence than me....

its a shame it's not the weekend before you could have gone to Donnington, your dad would have loved this   http://www.crmc.co.uk

It does seem you've picked a rather empty weekend for road racing- probably because most club racers will be getting ready for the Manx. There's a fait bit of off-road stuff on though, maybe you could find a classic scramble or trial? You can check out the ACU events calendar which is here, also check out the AMCA one too

More than 3hrs away mind. Anglesey circuit 16/17 August NGRRC club championship. Good racing.

Thanks very much for the replies. Will peruse the ACU calendar, particularly the off-road stuff. Doesn't really matter what we see really, it's just nice to be able to go camping with my old man once a year. (Separate tents, though, I can hear his snoring even though I'm usually 15 feet away!)

Something has clearly gone wrong in my life though - he's 75, has more points on his licence than me and rides a faster, heavier bike! (CBF1000).

Go for it Ulster Grand Prix on Sat 16th. 3 hours to Liverpool for the boat and 30 mins to UGP Track.
