“Dad, I’ve never had a trophy in gliding. Can I get one too?” “Sure, Jessie, but you’ll have to wait a few more years until you can fly on your own.” “No, I mean get a trophy now! The boys did before they could fly themselves – with you.”
Mention “adventure sports” and listeners instantly think of adrenalin rushes and death-defying action by the second. Cycle touring is my favourite action sport of choice. Cycle touring? adventure sport? I hear the cynics scoffing already. Too right! Admittedly the prospect of instant death is a tad more remote (unless it is misadventure by semitrailer) but there is ample adventure.
When riding on rutted and washed out trails, it is pretty common to come across a step where the trail just drops away. Negotiating this type of trail obstacle is often not as scary as it may look. With the correct technique and a little confidence you may well surprise yourself out on the trail. Start small to build technique and confidence, then work your way up. Simply riding off gutters in your local neighbourhood may be a good place to start. As with anything like this it is a case of practice, practice and practice some more.
