Need some BB therapy...

[Bailey93]

I thought it would be smart on my day off last Friday to head to my local green lanes and do something new to me and have some fun.

Everything was going great the track was dry the views were amazing and my confidence was growing and I was adding more and more speed... still no higher than 20mph but offroad that felt fast to me... but then dry track turned to wet grass and I lost the front suddenly I was seeing grass, sky, grass, sky, grass. Then I was laying there thinking "oh fk what damage have I done to her" ignoring what now is an aching hip and shoulder. Luckily no damage done other than cracking the front mud guard.

I picked her and gingerly road back the way I'd come feeling completely paranoid and shaken. I got out the lane and started riding home my brain was completely convincing me I was going to loose the front end at any second. Going round any kind of corner or round about was a nightmare

I got home parked the bike up and gave her a good wash.

I didn't ride all weekend and tonight rode to the cinema it was dry and as the miles went by my confidence grew and I arrived there feeling happier... riding home however it stated to rain and the paranoia came back in full force and I rode like such a baby I had genuine fear the front was going to go and thought of doing that on the road and not the relative safety of a green lane wasn't helping

I arrived home feeling blue all over again...

I need a mental slap BB. How do I get rid of this paranoia and regain my confidence in front end grip again. Doesn't help being my first off either

Thanks
