Elbows!!!!!!

[sleepykitten]

Hi all,

have booked a schooling session and lesson with a highly recommended RI for a couple of weeks time.

I haven't had lessons in years, but I KNOW I am going to get shouted at for not bending my elbows enough. Years of one-handed hacking have taken their toll. I tend to ride with my arms very straight, I have to consciously think about where they are all the time, and I still get it wrong!!

Does anyone have any tips to get my elbows in a better position before I get shouted at? A lot?

Pretend to hold to cups of tea. An instruction used to help hands, but it should put your elbows in the right place too. ^_^

A good instructor will find a solution that helps you to resolve the issue, rather than shouting at you!
