Re: Confidence Building
Confidence builds with time and experience, doing the miles for your work will help, but they are the wrong type of miles, if you get my drift. You will gain more by riding for riding, removes the pressure of having to get somewhere. I've done some strange things, like "oh its 23:30, dark and raining, i'm goin out on th ebike for an hour" different conditions are good, and practising them when you dont have to be in them is good as well, rather than trying to get somewhere in the conditions, you are practising modifying your riding for the conditions, completely differnet mind set.
Imho practice and or training is always good, all it take is for someonre to say, "try this" and it could all click into place.
One last qualifier, confidence and competence are 2 different things, there are a lot of confident folks out there with questionable competence and vice verca.
