For anyone who was behind me today I would like any feed back on what you though of my riding and any advice on how to improve it. Thanks.

It's only a confidence thing 
Just try riding a route you know in say 3rd but stay off the brakes using the engine braking to slow you for corners. Everytime you apply the brakes in a corner it upsets the suspension.

So why are you not doing this on the track then

just a case of doing more group rides mark, then instead of being in the front pinning it, stay in the pack or at the rear and watch and follow the lines of the rider in front. that way u will get more relaxed on the bike and in the corners.
just dont follow me cos i cant do corners as julian will agree.

As you were behind me, I really can't comment
Other than to say some of my lines were less than perfect, but then, few peole rarely are. As said before judge yourself against how others are/were riding, see if you can see what they're doing different (good and bad - it's all part of learning) and make your decisions from there 
That better

Julian isnt perfect, I saw him almost go hedge diving and he didnt even choose a road with an escape path.billinom8s wrote:

I thought you rode just fine Mark, didnt see any major errors or issues although I was paying more attention to where I was going rather than watching your arse.
