The Ulster Grand Prix is the fastest motorcycle Road Race in the world. It is held at Dundrod, County Antrim and in recent years, this being Ireland, it has rained. This year was different – we had sunshine.
The races are held on a Saturday and the week prior to the actual racing is known as Bike Week. During Bike Week there is practice time for the teams and events for the family as well as racing fans. There is also the opportunity to see the bikes being prepared and talk to the teams and even the riders.
This is a great sporting event and an enjoyable and interesting week, even if you’re not particularly interested in motorcycle racing.
I always try to get to the races and usually one or two other days during Bike Week. This year I went the day before to see the bikes being prepared and of course I took photographs.
