I have noticed right when I get on the track I am a little slow and riding not my best but then after about 10-15 minutes I find myself starting to ride faster and better and hitting more jumps and stuff.
And then when I get off the track for more than 10 minutes and go back out onto the track, I am back to riding slowly until I get "warmed up" and riding faster again.
Anybody notice this?

even if i know the track and feel really good on the bike without exception my second session is always quicker.
Probably why on raceday I can keep the best B riders honest in practice but my the time the motos come around I can't.

Now days....I'm a little more tentative and try not to push to hard until my 3rd or 4th practice. I usually do my faster and smoother laps towards the end of the day as I progressively get faster throughout the day. 10 years ago.....it was just the opposite for me.
I've also noticed that after taking 5 years off , I approached my riding a little differently on how I attack certain sections of the track. it's weird....i don't feel i've lost much speed at all , but my timing and conditioning isn't what it used to be. unfortunately for me.....my aggression is still there when I slap a helmet on....which still gets me into trouble every now and then.
For some reason in the aggression part......I have some how forgot where my "off button" is......i don't know why.
I know what you mean about how if your not pushing it a little you will not get better.
Thanks
