tell me about it. all day at work i just keep on thinking i just want to ride and feel confident that i can do it and can't wait to leave the office. as soon as get home and get the bike out the body has different ideas.
managed to pop out today and drop in. i know it's not much, but it feels like a milestone since i got back on a bike. onwards and upwards me thinks....

Wel done mate

just take it a bit at a time I think the trouble starts when you try to take on too much all at once and ride like you used to straight away.
I think the youngsters call it nibbling ,but it saves your arse.

cheers fuzzynod. i know my competing days are long gone. any riding i do now is just for fun, so there is no real pressure. i'm just gonna take things as it comes. just been looking at what i've typed. how lame is it that i'm getting stoked at popping out. but it was the first time i'd tried it in about 16 years and it felt great. i can't believe i ever gave up riding. that has got to be my biggest ever regret. the buzz i got when i popped out was the same buzz i got everytime i pulled a new trick for the first time in the 80's. i know there are so many tricks i am going to re-learn in the next few weeks / months and i'm sure i'm going to get the same buzz each time. i really can't wait to try and pull my next new trick. i am as excited now as i was 20 years ago. let the good times roll!!!!
