I've been fairly assiduous at practicing on my l'il 20" Sun. I have a
nice 1.2 mile loop, which includes some multi-use bike-ped trail, a nice
little 80' hill, some rollers and a bit of neighborhood street. Some
of it is a little bit rough, and none of it is particularly new or
smooth.
I really enjoy my loop; part of it goes along a river, part of it
through a forest.
But today i tried something different: fresh, virgin pavement. The city
just paved a mile or so near my house, so i tried it out. Pure, smooth
delight.
It was actually too easy at first -- the uni squirted out from under me
a couple of times! Wow -- it was fast! One could get spoiled riding
on virgin blacktop.
I recommend it highly, if only as a treat.
I'm definitely getting better, btw. I'm regularly riding > 1/2 mile
between dismounts. My turning suks, but i haven't really worked on it,
either.
