Oh yes 🙂
First off thanks all for the advice you gave a couple of
days ago. I've ordered a new post as riding on my friends
was a lot easier (it has a higher post).
But on to the good stuff. After a really disappointing 30min
lunch session this afternoon I was getting a little fed.
After getting tea etc. I thought right I'm going to take my
uni onto the streets and ride. I was only going to do that
after I was confident of not looking silly. To h**l with
that, besides it'll give the neighbours a laught anyway.
After about 25 mins (usual session length) I was still
getting nowhere fast (still v heavy on the seat) and then it
suddenly clicked! I just got on and rode about 100m without
any wobble. I found I had been sitting too far back on the
seat before and just moving forward made all the difference.
So to check it wasn't a fluke I rode another, then another.
By the forth time I only stopped because I was so tired 🙂 I
laughed all the back to my starting point, grinning ear to
ear 🙂 Even got a thumbs up from the neighbour on that run!
I also found my turning getting better as well as there was
less friction on the road.
So sorry for going on but I've got no one else to share this
with, (I've txt my work uni buddy) and I feel so good.
Oh and found out the sandwich man from work used to ride (he
saw us and came and had a go) and he said he will join us in
the future!
Thanks again for the inspiration.
