On Sunday started to learn two footed balancing (I haven't tried it on a Start Gate yet!!)  

I now have a Black rubber mark on my smooth living room wall that I've been balancing against!!  

It is now dialled even on slightly off horizontal (by about 2 cm)!!
Sitting down, Standing up.  Up, Down, Up Down,  One handed, Rotating my cranks etc, etc!!  

Piece of cake.
Whether I can do it in race conditions with Wind, Rain, 2 blokes next to me and the adrenaline pumping.....................
