Hi All, I'm new to posting within these forums although I've been a reader for quite a while. The thing is, i've been riding for about six years now and over the past 12 months I feel my riding has got worse, with me stopping to think (and 5ing) sections that I would have previosly made easy work of !. I'm sure it's 90% in the head, i look at sections and think of what could go wrong then get afraid of falling off ... then do fall off in places that i could tackel with ease a year ago ! I cant understand it, my turning is worse, my climbs are bad, my splatters are nearly now non existant and general riding lately is crap to say the least ! Does anybody have any advice or have any of you experianced this ?. And if so how did you overcome it ?. My decline in my ability is having a real impact on my enjoyment and motivation to keep up the sport (which I dearly love). ..... Any help or advice guy's.
