I finished another early morning mini road ride, about 20 minutes, and about half way to the south coast from our place. I stopped on the way up to stretch, but other than that coped fairly well with the shallow ascent.
Key things:
- I locked in the suspension which made it a lot less wobbly when vehicles went past.
- I was nowhere near as freaked out this time!
- Many cars and large trucks went past and I felt far more confident.
- Overall I was way more relaxed and almost happy to be out there!
Avoiding the traffic is a great way to get confidence up.
