Journey 22nd March 2015 - Go Karting, plus Brake Problem

First really nice day since Brooklands frankly. Well, first weekend nice day anyway, bit chilly but good enough to get Amy out of bed for! Rob's bi-weekly Karting session at the local indoor Go Karting track in Woodley. Missed the previous session for a very good reason, as it was Austin Morris Day at Brooklands! But back to normal today, and due to the glorious sunshine, it was Amy's first run to that particular venue. Pop and get some petrol first and some cash, and the normal coffee run into Woodley centre part way through the 2 hour Karting session. Sweet as.

Today : Sunny
Conditions : Bright and dry
Temp : 8°
Journey : Premier Karting, Woodley
Distance: 15 miles

The brake problem mentioned is that the brake fluid level appears to have dropped. Clearly can't take any chances with my ability to stop, so needs very close inspection and probably work doing. The master cylinder was replaced very early on so unlikely to be there, whole brake system was bled and adjusted in Autumn just gone, no problems were apparent, but there ARE some old components there. So it's probably wheels off and definitely inspection time. No assumptions at this stage, but hopefully one component, preferably a front cylinder as I have a working spare set!!

But no journeys in the meantime until problem confirmed and fixed.

Can't complain - havent had to fix anything in around 9 months and she waited until the weather started to perk up!
