Regaining Confidence


Finally starting to feel like my confidence is back.  For most part, I feel fine, it's just that I feel like the tires are slipping from under me when riding.  Now I know most of that is psychological, and in reality, nothing is happening, but it's not as easy to get over that while riding, than just saying it in your head.  So what I've been doing is going on loner rides through Polamares Canyon in Castro Valley and with each run, picking up a little more speed, and leaning over more and more.  This most recent run was a lot more enjoyable.  I also think that was partly due to the weather being warmer.  I was really apprehensive the time prior because I thought I had seen ice on the roads.  Again, it's all in the head
