We had a trial at Chads farm today.
The routes were all definitely ramped up for difficulty levels.
On the first section we did.... section 8 , because there were so many people, I did Yellow AND cleared it, then I did the red, which was a lot more complex.... and managed to fall off good and propper, smacking my knee and landing on my side.... below my hip, but above my thigh (no idea what that area is called) and by the time the day waqs over 5 hrs later it was quite sensitive.
The rest of the day was a stormer, and at one point, Chris, who we ride with sometimes, saw what I was doing, after I had invited him to do a 3foot tree stump uphill, and he refused. He commented to Jon and Pete that I seemed to have progressed a lot since the trial at Pett about 4 weeks ago.
Pete and Jon have done so much to increase my confidence,and Jon often calls me a "pussy" which gets me to do mad stuff.
All in all, another great day out on the bike, it felt sharper after the service we gave it last week.
