Brave pants washed and ready: I've signed up for another SJ comp. Well, it's the baby class at 60cm but the last time I tried one (last December) my nerves got the better of me and I went to jelly. This time I have decided to calm down, pull on those pants and 'master' Paco. He will try it on because he always does but at the first bit of silliness I shall be very firm.  Wish I could get him a pair of brave pants  So far the only other contestant in the class is a child on a pony of 129cm!!! (But that will change before Monday night when the class closes.) |

 Great to hear! I've only managed SJ classes of 60cm with Classy too, we always get beaten by kids on ponies but we enjoy ourselves |

Yes, I'm determined to have fun this time. I know I'll be soundly beaten by a kid on a pony (there are six of them in the class now  ) but I'm determined to just relax and enjoy it and not let P get away with anything. The first spook at a pot of flowers and I will be severe!!!! The only downside is the weather forecast: it's awful with heavy rain and storms. For this reason I have decided I will not take the 'direct' hairpin route over the mountains but go all the way around the massif on the nice wide straight flat roads. |

That sounds like a sensible plan. Might take longer but completely worth it.

In fact the forecast has now changed and it will be a nice day: cold but clear. But I'm still not going over the mountains, no way do I want to negotiate the hairpins with a hard frost on them! And happily, my baby class is the opener, so I can get it all out of the way early and enjoy the rest of the day! |
