I'm sorry for your fall LateLate, but happy nothing's too crushed there. Good for you to get back on the bike and finish the ride, that must have been difficult but you can be proud you did.

You certainly earned that ice cream!

Practice makes perfect. You have to go out there and try it. Maybe you can find small hills around your house where you don't feel too scared going down? Then add corners? The cornering clinic is also a great idea...

Good luck - thinking of you.
