[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 119763, member: 20316"] Well, there were too many cancellations so Mikki and I just went trail riding. We did 60 miles, counting the fire roads to the trail. It was a great ride. I feel like I did a lot better on some of my other weak spots like going downhill but I still can't rail the switchbacks. I tried to just slow down first and tip-toe around. I feel like such a squid when I do it that way but at least I'm not falling. I still had a couple crashes where I did my same old mistake and one was particularly gnarly (you should see my bruise! :eek: ) but I made some progress. I just hate feeling so out of control. I can go up switchbacks just fine and even enjoy it! It's just the down hill ones that scare the crap around me. I even get off and bull-dog down some of them. I don't care what I look like, I have no pride. Ol'89r--I do use 2 fingers on the brake. I just have excellent brakes on my new bike and spent a year dealing with mushy XR brakes so I have a tendency to grab really hard. [/QUOTE]
