Back to the Track

We went to another Fastrack Riders trackday at LVMS on 3/14/2010. It was fun but for some reason I felt nervous and would get off the track before my session was over. I felt unsure of my riding technique so for the next trackday on 4/11/2010 I signed up for the Novice school. You have to attend the Novice school if it is your first trackday or you can take it again as a refresher course. It was great! I had forgotten the correct lines around the track and this can slow you down quite a bit. You want the shortest, most efficient path around the track. I also learned the correct body positioning on the turns. This is me practicing my turns by getting my but off the seat and keep the bike as vertical as possible.

While I was refreshing my track skills my husband was getting bumped up to the next level. Go figure, I've been to more track days than he has and he's kickin' my but like crazy. That's because he has ridden all of his life so it's to be expected. I'm going to practice until I catch him.
