Rob, you know TwoBob has invited you many times to Charlton. I'm sure you could manage that once a week or even once a fortnight.  Surely your missus can't deny you that. She even bought you a £220 frame....<cough> i mean a £60 frame ;)
You need to tell her that she got you such a great Xmas present, it would be a shame not to be able to use it.

Jim, I'm sure TwoBob wouldn't mind you riding at Charlton too. It's the perfect environment to build up your confidence again. it has helped me no end over the last 12-18 months.

I hear what your saying Trev, i really do..........but (and i know it's the same old but) we only have one car now, we get home from work about 5 to 5:30, it's then an hours drive to Charlton in rush hour on the M25 (sorry it may not be rush hour, remind me again what time you start?) but i have to admit the prospect of doing that drive really puts me off doing it.....and yes with an attitude like that i'm never going to get better i know! 

I'm going to be bringing the Proclaimer home every other weekend and ride the local park with my lad and his mates, so hopefully that will help me a little.....that's if i can ride after the kids have stopped asking me if i can backflip or tailwhip!   :LolLolLolLol:

Rob has already said that to me. But i have no bike anymore for one and I am in exactly the same boat as Rob (Pickle) except the kids and the missus. Just really fooked when i get in from work and was also really down about how bad my riding was. The last time i "rode" at Legacy i hardly rode at all.

Gonna be heading down to Braintree track this week though to dust the cobwebs off and also to take the Floval for a blast. Ineed the race practice more than the ramp practice  :LolLolLolLol:

People usually get there around 7.30-8pm. So you have plenty of time to get there. You should at least try it once to see what the journey is like. If it really is a nightmare, then fair enough. But leaving at 7, it shouldn't be too bad.

Also, with an "attitude like that", I think TwoBob is gonna have to have words here....  ;D

as of next weekend i will be riding my local park every other weekend with my lad and his mates..........so i should start to improve a little bit more........like you say i should at least try the journey and see how bad it really is??  but doesn't Charlton just have the two quarters at each end with a spine in the middle?  if so i don't think i could ride that anyways!!   :shocked:
