Frank, you are absolutely correct.
Right - slow is smooth, smooth is fast..., at least, that's my excuse for being slow.
And for the record, I've only made it to Keith Code's courses - first in '91. (Prior to that first run, I was pretty confident about my skills....
) I keep going back instead of other courses, because it's fun to watch Keith's brain in action, and not clear when he'll retire. Nick will hopefully be active for a lot more years.The local shop runs a 2 day off-road course, but I just haven't found the time to go and keep myself really honest about how poorly my big bike handles the dirt.
My mantra the last 9 months - "Next year."
