Karen Ramsay puts theory into practice.

The sun is shining. There’s minimal dust and you’re riding along, at one with your bike, not a care in the world. Then a hairpin bend appears from nowhere. What do you do? Stacks of you will plough around the corner without a thought, where I’ll have a micro panic attack, imagine a vehicle coming the other way, myself on the wrong side of the road, or over the edge of a cliff, or the bike and me sliding straight ahead, all before I’ve even entered the corner. This sort of irrational fear has become hardwired in my brain and reactions.
