I've Found My Floatiness Again


I used to be a lot better at riding a bike in the wet than I am now, but a touch too much front brake into a slow corner at Castle Combe on a wet track day, dented my confidence.


In order to be quick, you need to be relaxed and smooth and for quite a while, I could feel the tension in my arms whenever there was any water on the road surface. Now, I've found that relaxed, 'floaty' feeling that you get when it all comes together 'just so' and I can now absorb the feedback through the front tyre that my previously ramrod straight arms had distanced me from.


If Bath had beaten Sale today as well, it would have been a perfect holiday period but alas, it was not to be.
