Last year I tried out a women's only track night & liked it but didn't feel I had the right skills to continue on. I promised myself that i'd return & joined a good cycling group to be comfortable w riding with others, riding at speed, cornering, drafting etc. I also have been doing some nice core strength stuff to help w balance. Track's so much fun and beneficial to mtn biking/road so i really want to do more. Another thing is being able to calm down, breathe and remind myself it's all cool when riding fast!
A good friend suggested I venture along to a beginners (kids actually) session that's coached. So, tonight I did. The lady that gave me pointers i believe is a world champ and we discussed what I wanted to be able to do.
Anywho, it was awesome! I went from the blue line at the bottom, to the next line to the next! Not quite sure about going over 40km/hr yet but little bits a time.
My AHA! moment was realizing the corners aren't frightening if you look beyond them!!! Why didn't I think of that..Same applies to dirt n road..
Def be going next week!
