I was on gears Fox yeah. And you're right about confidence, the reason I crashed this morning is because I didn't take those beautiful bends near Lambourne End like a swooping eagle but nervously grabbed a load of brake and bang... off we go. Falling off solo makes you want your Mum too. No pals to HTFU in front of. I actually tacked extra miles on to my retreat home to try to convince myself I wasn't hating it... But I was and my ripped Wapha was getting all sticky with gore. Bumcakes. I'm going to cook a big ass stew and get drunk with some pals. Might ride to Tesco though ;)
Might take your advice and get the fixed CX out more at weekends. It will sort my weak hill climbing out too.
