Ouch. Glad you and the bike were not too badly hurt. Sounds to me like you have a good attitude about it all and you'll be back at it in no time.

Welcome from Falls Church, VA!

We've all been down that road at one time or another. At least your o.k., ego probably bruised more than the body. Keep it up.

Glad you are OK. The DVD recommended by EGlideKid is great at getting you going with confidence. Worth the investment.

Welcome from Texas. Very sorry to hear about your "whoops". Glad everything is allright though. Also glad you are willing to get up, dust yourself off and try again. The persistance will pay off and you'll be glad you did! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
