 In my own mind I may have convinced myself I was right up there with my riding, so over the past year I considered taking my riding to the next level. I thought about doing a skills course, but in the end they were either too far away, or they never got back to me or it was too much hassle and "Hey!" I was doing ok. Wasn't I?". I mean I can go for miles and miles and then go back for more, really...

Well, all that changed over a few weeks in November and December. I had recently hooked up with a few local guys who are super technical, fast and been mountain biking for many years. Me? I have maybe 2 or 3 years experience of mainly solo riding behind me. Most of these guys now ride single speeds, but I won't hold that against them. I thought "Well that is different, but lets give them a go".
