Ramble featured in Speedway Star!

The 6th August 2022 edition of the Speedway Star features an article all about my 2022 Tour of the UK. Peter Oakes, who writes and fills the 'off the beaten track' segment, got in touch shortly after my trip to Ipswich to talk about the tour, why I'm doing it and what I'm looking to achieve.

Peter was told about the tour by Plymouth's programme editor Helen Charlesworth, who covered me as a guest writer in Plymouth's Championship programme against Leicester when I visited in April. When I was introduced to Helen back in March, we spoke on the phone for over an hour. But, when I was on the phone with Peter, it was for over 2 hours! It's great to speak about speedway with people whose passion hasn't waned in the face of recent adversities.

My VIP treatment pre match, not sure my bike would be much good on shale

The article discusses the fixtures I've attended, the back story with my Dad and has a exert from the blog covering my trip to Newcastle in April when they hosted Edinburgh. The article featured just in time to build up to the British Speedway Grand Prix, where the tour draws to a conclusion. It's not the first time I've popped up in the speedway star, but it's always great to keep contributing to the sport long after I hung up the kevlars.

Huge thank you to Redcar's track photographer Colin Poole for the photos and the Redcar promotion for their hospitality.
