Generally, that speed is used for the expressways in the area, but it is also used for the areas full of office parks such as North First Street or Zanker Road (which is above) Also, the speed limit of 45 carries on further down to Los Esteros Road, which leads to the San Francisco Bay and eventually Alviso.

Each and Every Team Had a selection of High Powered Racing Machinery that would along with the Rider take on the Might of Brands Hatches' Grand Prix Circuit for a Gruelling 8 Hours Straight.
While Some Teams had as many as Four Riders to make the job a Little Bit Easier other Teams Had decided to go with just Two Riders for 4 Hours Each knowing they Had the Skills and Determination to Keep Racing Hard.
The Championship was in is Last Race of the Season here at Brands and Whoever Won this Final Event would take the No Limits Bike Racing Championship Crown.
Qualifying was up First and setting the Pace at the Top of the Timings was (Andelle Leathers / RatMally Graphic) on their Kawasaki 998/Kawasaki 1000 Racing Bikes with an Incredible Time of 1.31.846 and a Top Speed of 95.37 to take Pole at The Start of the Race.

With Qualifying Over and a 11:46am Start Fast Approaching all of the Riders to head out for the First 2 Hours. Just like Old School Le Mans the Riders all Lined Up on the Opposite Side of the Pitlane with their Respective Teams Holding onto the Bikes Ready for them to Blast off into the Distance around the Circuit.
A Loud Bang from the Calcian Signalled the Start of an 8 Hour Endurance Race and each Rider Ran Towards their Bikes Fired them Up and Set off onto the Race Track.
During the First Hour All Riders Made it through the First Opening Laps without any Problems and already many of them were getting up to Speed while some other Riders Preferred to nurse their Machinery for the First Hour to Avoid anything Breaking or Failing on thease High Powered Machines.
As Hour two Approached Everyone was still going strong and The Riders were Each Getting into a Really Good Rhythm of the Grand Prix circuit while other Teams had opted to Head to the pits to swap Riders and Give themselves more of a chance to take Victory with a selection of different Talents and Bikes available.
The Start of Hour Three saw a lot of Different Battles Going on thought the field and on the Back Straight there was some Close Wheel to Wheel Action Between Every Rider traveling at Speeds close to Nearly 100mph. Some Riders were Pushing so Hard that Even their Front Wheels Rose into the Air Making for some Epic and Thrilling Moments. An Overtake by Rider Number 97 on 36 was the Highlight so Far.
Hour Four and Still Each Rider was not Giving Up on the Chance of Victory with Half of the Endurance Race Completed by Now it was Time for Another Rider Change and with Many Teams Heading for the Pits Once Again Each New Rider Ventured Out onto the Brands Hatch GP Circuit it Beautiful Sunlit Conditions Although thease Must Have Been Playing Havoc with the Visibility for the Riders. Non the Less After Just One Retirement Earlier Due to an Engine Fire and a Marshall that should Have Really Been More Prepared. the Remaining Riders Soldered on.
The Fifth Hour was now Upon them and after a Very Hectic and Fast set of Laps Earlier Many Riders were setting down into their Positions to make sure the Bike they were on would Survive to the End. Druids was a Place to witness some Incredible Overtakes During this Time with the Light Levels Lowering and The Riders Really Looking like they were Pushing Hard and Encouraging their Machines to solder onto Victory.
Hour Six and with the Light Levels Now Falling even Lower it looked like this Endurance Race would be Ending in Nearly Dark Conditions as the Rider Kept on Going. The Few Retirement's Earlier on during Hour 2 and 3 were now just a Memory in the Surviving Riders Minds who all had One Goal in Mind. Get This Bike to the End of The Race.
Hour Seven and by now the Light was Nearly all But Gone with the Last Rays of Sunshine Disappearing Entirely from the Tops of Druids and yet Despite this now disadvantage i terms of Having a lot less light The Riders Still Continued to Push Hard and Fight their was To Victory in the Closing Stages as the Race Reached its Climax.
The Final Hour was Finally here and Every Rider who Had Been Concentrating Hard all Day was Now in a Position to Push Hard for that Final Hour of Glory that would mean the Difference Between either a Race Victory or a Race Loss. As The Minuets Slowly Ticked Down and The Last Light of Day Had been Long Extinguished from the Circuit. it was the Team of (Delkevic Racing's Liam Marchant / Gary Johnson / James Edwards and Luke Scott who took a Resounding Victory after 232 Laps and a Gruelling 8 Hour's of Racing 2 For Each of The Riders.

You Guys are the Real Deal and am Really Looking forward to Watching this Epic Race all over Again Next Year. Until Then Keep Racing and Never Give Up Hope of One Day Standing on the Top Step of the Podium.
Toian vecchio oggi è un parco recintato (e questo è un bene) ma purtroppo da un pò di anni chiuso al pubblico, credo sia di proprietà della tenuta di san Michele e quindi una volta che la tenuta ha cambiato proprietari questo parco da meta turistica per rilassanti pomeriggi domenicali è passata a destinazione off-limits.. In realtà al pubblico è stata aperta solamente una manciata di anni (non credo più di 5), nella metà del passato decennio. Il nostro gruppo di amici lo ha vissuto intensamente nei periodi primaverili perchè oltre a essere un posto vicino a casa era effettivamente proprio un bel posto.
Ci siamo tornati domenica, utilizzando metodi poco ortodossi per entrare (niente vandalismo però) ed è stato bello ritrovare tutto come lo avevamo lasciato, il vecchio bosco di lecci si mantiene pulito in maniera incredibile e le piogge degli ultimi anni sembrano non aver intaccato le strutture ancora esistenti, ho potuto fare diversi scatti interessanti, tanto più che non ne avevo degli anni passati.
Un pò di storia: Toian vecchio o Castel vecchio di Toiano era l'originale borgo abitato di Toiano (stiamo parlando del 1300) distrutto in seguito dai Fiorentini durante le battaglie per i possedimenti di tutta questa fascia di territorio (le poche strutture in pietra della rocca ancora visibili sono quello che rimane di quel periodo), in seguito l'abitato di Toiano venne ricostruito dov'è adesso e questo parco divenne nei secoli successivi luogo di villeggiatura o svago per i signori del tempo, credo risalgano all'800 tutte le strutture in mattoni, muretti, vialetti ecc.. In passato mi è capitato di vedere una stampa tirata fuori dall'archivio del Del Frate Ferrini, podestà di Palaia all'inizio del '900, scattata proprio a Toian vecchio dove si vedono le strutture come sono oggi e una serie di signori con la tuba e signore con gli ombrellini a passeggio nel parco..
"Toian vecchio" today is a fenced park (this is good) but unfortunately from a few years is closed to the people, I think it is owned by the estate of St. Michael and then once the estate has changed owners this park as a tourist destination for relaxing Sunday afternoon is spent destination off-limits .. In fact, the public has been open only a few years (I think for 5 years), in the middle of the past decade. Our group of friends has lived intensely in the spring because in addition to being a place close to home was actually quite a nice place.
We returned on Sunday, using unorthodox methods to enter (no vandalism though) and it was nice to find everything as we had left, the old oak forest remains clean beyond belief and the rains of recent years do not seem to have affected the structures still exist, I could do several shots interesting, especially since I did not have in previous years.
A bit of history: "Toian vecchio" or "Castel vecchio di Toiano" was the original village settlement of "Toiano" (we're talking 1300 d.c.) destroyed by the Florentines during the battles for the possession of all this strip of territory (the few stone structures of fortress are still visible the remains of that period), after the village of Toiano was rebuilt where it is now and this park became in later centuries resort or amusement for the lords of the time, I go back to 800 all brick structures, walls, driveways etc. .. In the past I've seen a print pulled out of the archives vecchio" where you can see the facilities as they are today and a number of gentlemen with tuba and ladies with parasols for a walk in the park ..

Saturday, 4 April 2015: Chhule (3350 m) to Mu Gompa (3700 m)
A magic day, a high point in several senses.
Leaving Anthony and Val in Chhule (छुले) repairing and checking LED solar lights distributed 10 years or so ago (most still going strong… and much valued), Hazel and I headed up the Tsum Valley with Tsering and Krishna, following the Sardi Khola / Syar Khola / Tsum Chu river as usual - running more glacially as we got further into the mountains and closer to the southern edge of the Tibetan plateau.
Beautiful weather, lots more mani walls and chortens (and patches of old snow) on the approach to Mu Gompa, with a steep, slippery climb at the end.
Tsering set up our tents on the highest paved terrace, with stunning views back down the valley - the Ganesh Himal to the east, the Sringi Himal to the west. Across the valley - the river now far below us - a high yak kharka leading up to (hidden) Longnang glacier and the Phuchun Khola, and the peaks of Taya Himal and Pashuwo. A Himalayan Griffon (Gyps himalayensis) gliding high above the stone roof of the gompa. Helipad - incongruous - below.
Hot lemon and kit kats for elevenses-with-that-view on the terrace segued into lunch in one of the lower sets of terraced rooms. Hardly a soul about - everyone’s gone to KTM to see the visiting Rinproche. We had the caretaker and yak herders seeking shelter for company.
Come the afternoon though, the weather changed, and our afternoon stroll up to Dhephu Doma - the ancient Ani Gompa at 4000 m - featured snow... the one thing I’d (sort of) assured Hazel we wouldn’t have!
By dinner time our tents had been transformed into iced bombes, necessitating a night of tent bashing from inside and out to dislodge the snow….
A super, silent night - my first time camping in snow. Magic.

O diretor de Cova Rasa baseia-se no livro famoso de Irvine Welsh sobre um grupo de escoceses viciados em drogas. Renton, Spud, Sick Boy, Tommy e Begbie: são cinco os garotões que vivem num bairro classe média da cidade de Edimburgo, mergulhados nas drogas para fugir do cotidiano medíocre. O protagonista é Renton (Ewan McGregor), que tenta se livrar da heroína, mas acaba voltando às drogas por causa dos companheiros. Sem moralismo e falsas mensagens, o filme acompanha a rotina alucinante dos garotos e traça um retrato da geração desesperançada dos anos 90.

A creepy ruin along the old Saulk Trail near Clinton Michigan.
Past the keep out and no trespassing sighs was this old farmhouse just chock full of the stuff nightmares are made of...
Ho altri scatti di questo bellissimo tramonto. Qui ho pensato di lasciare il filo spinato: l'ho trovato interessante e non di distrubo.
