After getting the piss ripped out of me yesterday, I decided to go for a ride this morning.
This is the result from todays efforts. I tried pretty dam hard around those roundabouts!!
I know it isnt anywhere near good enough yet, but practise makes perfect (apparently).

Im after some tips and advice. Maybe I just need to practise more? This was my first efforts to go quick round corners.

So here you go!
