This is how things been going with this newbee. First week, frustration and sore muscles. Even pedeling in rythm did not come naturally.I put up a "ballet bar" in the basement. (16 ft 2X4). A couple 5 to 10 minuit secessions , per day, while working in my shop. Next week went a little better. Now the third week things are getting more interesting. I do 2 hours a day. I go the length of the basement room. Ocassionaly I go all the way past the pool table in the next room. Now I have to learn to make a sharp left turn at the end of the pool table into the laundry room. Just wanted to tell somebody. Some other newbees may be interested.
Tommorow, Sat., I plan going to the doings at Arlington Hi in the afternoon. I hope to learn a lot there by observing. I have no clue how to freemount.
Hope to meet some of you there. I am the old guy. 6ft 2 in, tall loking around in amazement.
Thank you for posting. I had a "bad" day trying to pick up a new skill, and your post has inspired me to just practice more. Some things I seem to pick up quickly, others seem to need a bit more time 🙁
It's great to hear of older riders taking up this challenging sport. By all means keep it up, and I'll bet you get better than you ever thought possible😄 It has been amazingly rewarding for me!
