Desperately trying to squeeze in another Bike ride with Roy. Managed to organise it as part of joining him training another rider on a scooter. I follow them around for an hour or so. I am doing crap! very unhappy and making every mistake under the sun, should be dead by now, luck holds out, very angry and disappointed with myself, too bloody highly strung for my own safety. Grateful Roy cant see the *^*% ride I am doing. Thought of chucking it all in when we took a break while Roy certified Aidan. Tried to calm down and relax. It is taking me far too long to warm up and ride properly, this is nightmare, you dont get second chances on a Bike.


I have survived again, somebody is looking after me, too many stupid mistakes.

Afternood ride, wonderful! country roads, Roy following me and commenting and encouraging me, dual carriageways speeds up to 65 MPH, loved the bends and begining to understand what the thrill of riding is about. Lots of confidence and feeling I have been riding for ever, great.
