Finally get out for a ride after almost three weeks. Missed it so much . Brakes locked on , seat post was stiff and headset a bit tight. Not to mention I was hopeless after so long off the trails. Good fun though and counting down to the next one
Time flies by when we're busy mate, maybe put your bike in the way of the door so it keeps reminding you! 3 weeks is an age, 3 days without riding and I'm ready to murder someone
I know aye. I have felt fat , lethargic and in slow motion for three weeks. I was hopeless on the trails. Couldn't put energy into climbs and had no body movement on the downs but I will come good now
@samjam: i hear ya, that feeling that says 'this climb was easy a few weeks ago' is the worst, it seems to be hard to get really fit but so easy to lose it, i think thats why i wont have more than a couple of days off my bike!
@baggyferret: yep a lot of the time I ride to just keep bike fit . Most of the time I put in hard but yesterday was terrible haha. Love the feeling of being strong on the bike , hope it comes back soon
I always knew I needed that one ride a week just to keep my mind straight but this has been killing me . Takes me two months to get bike fit yet two weeks to lose it all
I love your attitude brother. Yes I try mate and just love riding , being with mates and seeing so many cool bikes . I've also started jumping again, not very big but I feel like I'm still progressing even at 46
@samjam: soon having lessons soon, with a pro,he is a buddy too,his riding is off the scale..i wont be following his lines.. hoping he can teach an old dog new tricks.. get some proper airtime
