I had a ride that felt really good today, I wasn't pushing hard but I felt strong. Wasn't wearing any protection so I avoided risk. Even then I thought I was doing good times, but it turned out I didn't get a single top3 time on any segment. Still the ride felt good and that's what I'm keeping. I'll be good for another ride tomorrow and over time that's what will keep me progressing.
That is a fantastic story and sounds like a great ride. Sometimes the feeling of just riding is good. Last time I went out without pads on I decided to do turning drills on gravel…. Washed out on my first turn and had some of the worst road rash I have ever had …..
🤔it really depends on whether the ride that day had a goal, Flo, bike body separation, rotation, pumping, pressure control, trying different line & jumping roots or just going for it a figuring out what’s fast and what’s not🤷♂️ In the end a ride is always better than work, unless you’re coaching and that always good👍
Having a goal before every ride is an important step that’s for sure. Even if it is a goal of “enjoyment”. Setting some sort of direction helps with progression. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching !
You can shuttle on some spots of three blind mice and the climbs themselves are very well made. You will feel it but they are doable. If you do go suggest tagging along with a local to show you some of the shortcuts
@rangeridermtb appreciate the reply. I'd dint realize there was good riding around pen. Also silverstar and revelstoke being close by. Just need to find a good dirtjumper/trail bike now, any suggestions?
@williamsway4577 on three blind mice hit either flow coaster or roller coaster (flow coaster is more fun). No truly big “tables” there or big jumps but fun ripping down and some features. More comfortable on a trail bike. There is a skill park in Kelowna called mission creek that has some dj features In Vernon there is Becker bike park. Your best bet is to go chat with the folks at Freedom Bike shop in Penticton and they can probably turn you into some great trails
@@GamingMania-ku9vnjust be prepared. Know what to do. Know the difference between a black bear and a grizzly bear. Pack bear spray and make noise when you ride
