Well it has taken a couple riding seasons,
yet I seem to have regained my riding
confidence I had back before my crash.
Before the crash I would jump on the bike
and ride anywhere. Wind, rain no problem.
Losing a whole season of riding made a difference.
The first few times back on the bike, the wind really
bothered me. I almost gave up riding. Ugly thought huh?
I just kept riding and faced the fact that if I was going to
continue to ride, wind was something I would have to get
used to riding in.
Now I am able to keep riding and not let it bother me like before.
I am so glad I didn't let it be the deciding factor in giving up one of
the things I enjoy the most in life.
In fact, one of the guys that works nights and rides, asked me recently
doesn't the wind bother you? I did admit it used to and now I just slow
down if need be and keep her steady..
He is getting back into riding himself after not riding for a few years. His
wife is even thinking of riding one herself..
Confidence comes with practice and learning how to handle situations as
they come..
