Baby Belle

Kate's just got back from a week's holiday in Paris. She was disappointed not to get track time, but really excited to discover Babybels. Now I'm not talking about little diddy itsy bitsy Babybels, but big ones. Not quite the size of an Edam, but pretty big. She came back home with five of them (plus a Lego McLaren F1 car of course).

What's that got to do with motorsports I hear you say.

Well, I'm sat here sheltering under a gazebo whilst Kate wizzes round Traq's motocross track on a little diddy itsy bitsy Honda CRF110. It's even the same colour as a Babybel. (Definitely a marketing opportunity there.) And she looks very sweet. Definitely a baby belle rather than a Babybel. And she's checking out the bike as a potential for training others. So far so good. There's a sticking throttle cable, and the bike bottoms out when she does the jumps, but it's not fast even with full throttle in top gear. So it's a perfect training tool, and I think she's going to be on the lookout for more. Hopefully not another five like the Paris Babybels.
