North West 200

The amount of motorcycles on the road at the minute is ridiculous! The North West 200 is tomorrow, so every biker in the country (and many from Britain and the South) is traveling to the triangle area and setting up camp in one of the many dedicated sites. I would go so far to say that at certain points in the day, motorcycles made up as much as 50% or more of the traffic!

We went to the York tonight and discovered that (for a fee, undoubtedly) a hot dog van had set up in their main car park, which meant that we had to go to the back one...this resulted in me trying to get down the steep hill on crutches - not easy.

Anyway, once we'd gotten in to the restaurant, we discovered that is was packed with bikers...drinking lots of beer and cider and eating impossibly large steaks. We got seated near the back, but I didn't mind the packed nature of the place, since it meant it had a great atmosphere!

Fingers crossed that no one gets seriously injured tomorrow...
