Stay In Your Zone
Learn why riding within your skill level is the key to safer, more confident off-road adventures. Today We Ride shares tips on staying focused, avoiding peer pressure. and enjoying every ride at your own pace.
Throughout my life I have ridden with a lot of different people. The biggest mistake I see other riders do is they compare themselves to others. To be a successful rider you must establish your zone and stay in it. The competition is against yourself. The minute you try to put yourself in someone else’s zone you have done yourself a great disservice and put yourself in a very dangerous situation. Its like sailing a boat but you’ve never been on a boat. Baby steps lead to big accomplishments. Stay focused on what you are doing and challenge yourself to be better and do it at your pace no matter what that pace may be. I don’t care how fast you are, if you are on the ground you aren’t fast. You are going nowhere when you are not upright. The slowest rider is better than the fastest rider if the fastest rider is on the ground or in a hospital bed.
