Spring green....

Would you believe that for once I am learning to play with the power of my mean machine....thus when I am "STANDING UP" sporting a camera is a little more difficult. I'll tell you something from a novice.....I always thought biking was pleasure riding, sit down and enjoy your ride....BUT it is sooooo much more fun to gain WAY more control of your ride by squeezing your legs together and maneuvering your bike with your legs. Everyone but me probably has known that...but anyways....this is what I have learnt these past few days. If you recall a few posts back...I bit hard.... I took a table top SITTING DOWN....duuuuuhhhhhhh....it launched me. Now we know the rest of the story......stand up or you'll be planted on your backside!!!
oh I learnt one more thing...i can race beautifully on the black top and haul.....my gravel racing is much to be desired....so COACH BOBBY encouraged me to start off in 2nd, stand up, rev it out and drop the clutch....way less sketchy off the line...it's feels good to learn. This sport isn't quite the same as quad running... :)
by the way...i don't envy anyone sitting in a classroom staring out at the dirt....lol, i have no one in mind, really.
