On Tuesday after trading day was over, I went out riding. It's nearly ten years since I started mountain biking and here I was cruising down the black trails I’d learnt on, been broken on, been punished on.  What has changed?  The right tools, input from friends and coaches, and endless practise.  It's addictive, it's fulfilling, it's great. 

Now here I am struggling with the Challenge.  I need to apply the same to this.  The right tools, the right coaches and friends and keep on picking myself up and carrying on practising.
