Silly really but I always feel more confident when I go up to ride and the sun is shining. Dont know why this is. Do you ever have days when you feel more confident riding and do you have any particular area where you hate riding but have to to get to where you want to? Does that make sense? I have to ride a particularly nasty blind bend if I want to go further afield. Della is fine but its me due to the fact that she was hit by a car many years ago (16) and I still cant get over it fully.
