Talbot Cyclocross bike

Couple of lessons today:

• Coming to the corner of Stradella road I turn in, front wheel slips sideways, regains grip, I stick to my line, front slips again, I slacken the line through the corner and no more slipping.
  
  

= It's not on road tyres, stop cornering like it is.

• On the way home, heading through Dulwich Park on the horse-trotting track part, go to hop off the sand and onto the road, catch the rear wheel and hit the deck on hip and shoulder.
  
  

= When you think you should jump "properly" instead of hopping one wheel then the other do so.
