There is no perfect ride. There is only the ride you're on right now – with its clean corners and its clumsy moments. If you measure every line against an ideal, you ride with the handbrake on in your head.
Three thoughts for your next ride
- Switch off comparison: The rider ahead of you is riding their ride, not yours. Their pace is not your benchmark.
- Mistakes are information: A messed-up corner tells you what to work on – not who you are as a rider.
- One moment is enough: Pick a stretch that felt really good and remember it. That's your ride.
Perfection makes a poor pillion. If you notice your own standards taking the fun out of riding, let's work on exactly that in a Focus Session.
