Well i went out for a bit of a blast yesturday and i noticed that i was a bit slower than i was last summer, and when i went straight across this roundabout which i planned to KD on and i didnt touch down i was like WTF? so i went back and kepped on trying until i eventually just went all the way round with KD but it still took me quite a bit of practice to throw it in KD then out.

Last summer i would be able to KD almost on a straight, i need to go out for more blasts till i get back to being as fast as i was last summer.

Although i have noticed that i am a lot quicker in the wet as i used to be so slow and now i keep quite a good pace, suppose the winter isnt all bad.(i ride all year round BTW)

Anyone else noticed that there fast riding skills arnot quite what they were last summer??

maybe the 6 month gap of not riding/not riding in good conditions have something to do with it.. just a thought anyway Rolling Eyes

I've noticed it too. I've been pushing my tyres right to the edges, yet my knee still won't brush the tarmac this year. It's all down to body positioning, which I haven't fallen back into yet. maybe this evenings track session at Cadwell will help. Hope so.

And yes, I do ride year round.
