I finally got the nerve up to go over the spine at Piccolo on Thursday. I was just about to do it on my own when Dave showed up and told me to just go do it. I think he was as surprised as I was when I did... It's a very different thing from anything I have done on the bike before - everything happens very quickly on this ramp but as I did it more and more, I think I am getting better at it. Fell about 3 times, which I think is a good thing right now because I hadn't fallen in a long time and now having fallen I have more confidence in my pads and that I am not really going to hurt myself too badly if I do fall. Having said that, of course, my left shoulder is still pretty stiff and I think I understand what arthritis feels like in my right hand. Part of the package.
