Hello
Well my back injury is finally fixed and I've been riding in a couple of trials again. Its really great to just be back riding a bike again!
We had a fantastic trial on the weekend, the sections for my grade were setup really well. They were challenging and technical but lots of fun - which means easy enough for someone with my level of skills to have a fair chance of cleaning them (probably a bit too easy then....).
It was also good to be riding my 'new' bike that I bought just before I buggered my back 2 years ago. Its still on the original brake pads, tyres and chain and sprockets, so is pretty much like brand new, and seems to suit me well.
I really got a good sense of achievement by riding at a good level for me. Its such a nice feeling to be able to clean all of the sections at some time during the trial, even though there was plenty of scope for stupid dabs at several places in most of the sections.
Its got me pumped up to have another go at another event this weekend. Hopefully now that I've got my confidence up again, it will make each event more enjoyable than the last, and I might even start to improve my skill level some more.
