I'm lost..

Catrin, have you thought of starting by something stationery & practicing that way?? I have to do it when i get stuck going over a logover uphill..I have to hold onto a tree, get my feet into the right position and push off. It's the same for road etc. Balance is the key.

I know this is a bit off topic but in the past few weeks of doing track, starting off has become easier n easier. I used to be frightened of a coach behind holding the bike but have started to trust the bike in some way.

I guess what i'm trying to say is that it does get easier. (well, except starting uphill on pea gravel..)
