I must, I must, I will get better

My first ride for a very long time last Saturday proved a little testing. I lost a lot of confidence, especially on right hand bends which was worrying. Yesterday I wheeled the bike out of the garage for another check over. I don' know how it happened but somehow I had put 29 psi in the front tyre and 1 pound less in the rear. The book says 18 and 19. I had been advise with modern rubber to increase by 2-3 pounds. No wonder it was like riding a brick. That corrected (ie reduced) I thought I'd give it another go today. Off I went with more confidence. Tottering along I soon realised another big error which was I was watching the front wheel on right handers instead of looking down the road to where I wanted go. Now I was on the way. Still more to re-learn, but an enjoyable ride was had. Den
