YAY...whilst out riding last night I got TWO biker nods !!! Amazing !!

I am in 'The Gang' !! Laughing

God...it felt SO good Embarassed

Anyways...my 1st official lesson for A test was this evening.....
I ADORED IT !!! Fun...great..informative....

OOO OOO I LOVE A NEW INSTRUCTOR !! haha Laughing

He is...oh..I won't say...but he is in his 40's and is adoooooooorable! Embarassed

SO...I rode there...30 minutes...I was on my own with this one instructor as there were hardly any learners.....
We then rode about...stopped for walking pace stuff, emergency stops, u-turns, slalom,.. etc..... then a nice chat Very Happy

...then we rode again.
Two more hours in total!!
Then I rode home...another 30 minutes.
THREE HOURS ON-ROAD!! Thumbs Up

yay

I stalled only once at the emergency stop. Thumbs Up

He was REALLY nice...he said my road position and confidence on-road was great.
He could NOT believe I didn't drive a car and had only been riding a bike for 11 days! Surprised

I cannot wait for next Thursday evening !!

OOO OOO...and I did NIGHT RIDING on the way home !!
I navigated BIG roundabouts alone....

GOD...I am so happy tonight Very Happy

*rant rant rant* Laughing

OOOO LADIES....I did my hair SO well in-lid....>>>>
put it in two pigtails at base of neck...rolled tube up over them...secured hair on sides of head above ears with metal slides!!It kept in !!
AND less sweaty! Thumbs Up

I think that is all I have to tell.....

I bet I will look back on these posts in a few months and think "Good grief...was I THAT excited, nervous and scatty"!!!???
ha Laughing

Yep its great to be in the gang! Then you get increasingly annoyed with the people that don't bloody nod!!

Sounds like your doing the best thing which is enjoying the whole experience of learning, something you should try and carry through to the test!!

You sound a lot more confident than you did yesterday. Good on you, girl!

The ride-out has not been forgotten, Jodie, but Shade is away for the weekend, so I guess we'll firm it up when he comes back.

Cheers, m'dears!
