Default woo hoo i rode past my house lol

today my huband, his dad and mom, and me went riding all around. for like 2 hrs!! the curves are a little scary but other than that i really enjoyed it and it was a confidence booster. I think that everything is good. I guess just getting the experience and having trust that the lord will be there with every step ill start to do better and ride more

i'm so excited!!!!

That's great news roo! Hey that almost rymes. Another little trick to stay relaxed while riding is to wiggle your fingers on the grip now and then. Also. I call it the chicken wing, move your elbows in and out to. It does help to stay relaxed, atleast for me.

While I'm not a religious man by nature, I do say a quick prayer before every moto at the gate before a race, been doingit for years. So I get that.
