THE steep learning curve that is club bike racing just got slightly easier for novice rider Adrian Wilkinson.
The Colne-based racer had his first experience of Oulton Park when he took part in the Sound Of Thunder meeting.
After just a three-lap practice session to scrub in new tyres and learn the circuit, Wilkinson was happy to follow the others round and finish the opening race fourth in the novice class.

Race two saw the Suzuki TLR 1000 rider again finish fourth in the novices and bag another valuable 13 points in the championship chase.
With race three not counting towards the series, Wilkinson was out to enjoy himself, which culminated in a wheel-to-wheel dice across the finish line.
Next outing is at the Anglesey circuit this weekend.
