Today I decided that I needed to a better review on the fit that was given to be by Bike 360. I decided to go head on with my Achilles heel, technical sections. where better to put this to the test that BF. my mantra in my head today, no brakes good, two brakes bad.
I made my way to bf during the late mornings before i commenced my ride. lowering my tire pressures to 23 in front and 22 in the back. the trail was nice and dry and i initially had to fight my temptations to squeeze the brakes. fortunately enough for me today, i was able to better overcome many obstacles that i had issues with initially. slowly but surely my confidence is growing and i would need to go back more and more just to keep myself updated and well versed in the lines.
on lines that i could not initially do, i went back over and over again until i did it , some times up to 2-3 times. many of these times, i realized, it wasnt the technique that was at fault, but the chosen lines, on the second tries and third tries, i managed to choose better lines. however these all will come with more and more practice. you want the results ,you put in the hours. The mantra worked, the less i braked, the more i rolled over. however this all has to come with the commitment to go over the obstacles. think less just roll. something i have yet to master.
determined to be a better rider.
