Fearingout is ten...

Having made myself scarce for the previous few weeks I decided that I was going to make the ride this Wednesday whatever the weather. James and Scott were planning to head over to Delamere, so I gladly packed the bike in the car and drove on over to this under explored (on my part) corner of Cheshire. The 4X track looked great from the outset and had plenty of variety of jumps and turns. Getting the pads on straight away I tried a couple of runs, taking various lines down the track and then pushing up again for more. On only about the third run though I had a dodgy landing from a jump, the bike buckarood and dumped me firmly on the ground... ouch! After that it was a case of building the confidence back up, each run slightly faster and slightly more committed. By the end of the 'session' Scott and James were getting some good air off the jumps and we took a few stills on the digital Ixus. I had a few decent jumps too and felt pretty good by the end. A different sort of riding to what I'm used to, but good fun all the same.
