The Happy Thread

Might seem weird posting this in here but I don't think (other than Tartybikes comp at Shipley) that I'm gonna bother riding comps anymore. When I rode Shipley last year I wasn't really that bothered, didn't bother with Blackpool this year as I couldn't be arsed with it so I thought I'd give today a go to make my mind up. My awful result didn't help but I never felt that I was really that fussed about getting a 5, would much rather just bod along at my own pace having the odd hour here and there and filming the odd clip for my entertainment more than anything.

Actually feels good to have come to a decision about this rather than trying to convince myself I still want to do it.

EDIT: Also I put the Top Gun soundtrack on on the way to work tonight, that always makes me happy!

Can finally post here for a change :)

2 reading tickets processed and a mate is happy to pay 400 for one so that's made me feel way less stressed! If the other 5 don't go through then that'll be perfect bit expensive but oh well learnt my lesson.

My dad rode all day with me today, a bit slow but I'm so proud of him I didn't care he actually had a smile on his face.

Germany won the world cup and my dad happened to be with them for the work sweepstake.

I had a nasty bail over the bars on a rock garden and landed on my back doing a flip, my bag saved my back. My phone is smashed, and that's through a whole rucksack so I'm glad I had that bag on! Elbow is bruised and I had elbow protection and my carbon helmet is slightly cracked in one spot. They did their job then :) :)

Least stress free I've been in a while and loving it

To be fair, Bracken is a really hard place to ride. The sections were wet, long and hard. Oooooh eerrr.

Dont be put off by having one hard day. Look at it as a positive - You'll be able to go to Shipley and it'll feel like riding street after Bracken.
