THIS THING CAN QUICKLY GO DOWNHILL
IT'S RARE THAT SOMEONE IS FASTER THAN ME DOWNHILL. I've just done it a lot, and I've always had a good feel for going fast. So, when someone jams hard to get ahead of The Old Diesel before the downhill...
... I just shrug.
Like in Saturday's race, the young buck sprints and slams the door on me at the entrance to a long, downhill singletrack.
He's trying really, really hard.
I'm right on him, barely working.
It's a valiant effort...
... until he loses his front wheel in a sandy turn.
Poor rookie.
You'd think at that point, he'd pull over.
Not this guy.
He scrambles, while I am stopped.
Blocks the trail, while I am politely asking to go by.
Jumps on his bike...
... and goes even slower, he's shook up.
Eventually, with some notsosubtle coaxing he pulled over.
Once there is a crack in our confidence,
things can quickly go downhill.
We hesitate, overthink...
... reacting instead
of relaxing.
So much of going fast is a confidence game.
