Riding Practice

[Catrin]

I met with my instructor yesterday, and the first thing she did was to lower my seat back to where it was before the fitter raised it so high. I will raise it one inch on my next practice session, then 1/4 an inch each session after that until I am back up there.

The session went well - she tells me that I am progressing well - all I need is more time in the saddle. I am not getting enough power in that first pedal stroke - but that is due to how I start So now I really must practice starting properly, and taking one hand off of the bar so I can learn how to signal... Shifting is getting easier too

I second riding in a field, like a soccer field. In fact, I would practice falling on the grass so you can relax instead of fearing falling. You are doing a great job!

yeah, from the kind of riding you are doing right now you are not going to blow your knees out.
You sound like you are making excellent progress. Keep having fun.
