    Need a mentor...

    Hello all,

    I'm looking for some time with a more experienced rider that can give a bit of guidance in cornering, understanding what an 'apex' is and so on. I've gone riding in the canyons and the corners are intimidating, however easy made by the countless other folks dropping into them. I want to learn it. If there are any takers on this, let me know. One person tells me to lean off the bike and another tells me to have chicken arms. Hmmmm. Okay. So, let's ride, follow me, tell me where I'm screwing up, I'll follow you, learn.
    Much appreciated!!
