37 and counting

I was back out in the driveway last night working on riding backwards on my EUC.  I had some tweaks to my technique I was anxious to try.  The biggest one was consciously pushing my hips back so I keep steady speed.  Part of my problem Monday night was I would run out momentum which in turn made me step off.

Things started out slowly but I then suddenly had a ride that went a dozen feet past my prior best that I had marked with a branch.  A few minutes later I managed to ride another 10 feet past that, a little short of 40 feet.  I still had plenty of wobbly, shorter rides mixed in there but the fact that I was able to hang on that far was very encouraging.

Tonight we plan to make our annual visit to the county fair.  A night of simple fun, animals and people watching awaits.
