I'm pretty sure I'll get laughed at for posting this, but i need help!
After a very poor preformance in my first club race, I have decided to take a sabatical from it till i can confidently ride the whole course. I nearly have it all sorted and I'm feeling much more confident on it after hours of practice.
However i still can't get through the switch-backs on the first section without dabbing.
Can anybody tell me what line I should be taking?
Any advice help would be great.
Thanks
no point in anyone writing advice I reckon, just find one of the handier lads to give you 10/15 mins instruction before the next race - there's plenty of good lads who can show you how to get up them without any problems

Yeah thats what I was thinking would be the thing to do.
I will take 2 of you each week on a practice lap of the course but not you, for fcuks sake man, the whole reason for the club race is to improve people, from being sh1t to deadly in one season, and from being deadly to super deadly.
Taking a break from it because you can't do it is not only stupid, its insulting to me and the other people who create the league.
Very, very few people could clear the whole lap the first few times, some people took more than one season.
Get up there every week and ride the shagging thing till you can do it in your sleep.
I will take two people each week but only people who have been committed for a couple of seasons and who want to squeeze a few more seconds off their lap.
The EPIC club course is a thing of beauty and if God was a mountainbiker, it would be his favourite trail..
cop on to yourself or go back to fcukin stamp collecting or flower pressing or looking down girls tops on the sly !

Fair enough, I'll see you next Thursday so.
You've made me all motivated to prove you wrong, I never meant to insult the course, I just hate slowing up the faster guys as I wobble and plod my way through it!
Right so a 15 minute lap next week it is.
How did you do that? I went from feeling sorry for myself to being all goal orientated and motivated.
