My fitness is still not up to par, but my skilz seemed to have advanced this season.
I have gone after some different terrain, and changed my approach somewhat: My common sense still keeps me a little shy as the speeds increase, but I have otherwise been taking some creative chances pretty often and they have been paying off. I am finding myself coasting while others are pedaling, and I'm braking when others are coasting. On the flats and the climbs, I can hang but I'm not in front, so I know my fitness has a little ways to go. But throw in some turns, roots, rocks, logs, and jumps and suddenly my smoothness factor is at unprecedented levels. I like how this is going.
Just trying not to screw myself up.
