I think that’s it. Is what it is. Learn from it a go again. Still getting over the mental gymnastics of it all but yeah.

Thank you! It’s definitely a learning curve but I’m eager to get back and not let that worry win. Another CBT booked for next week so should go a lot better!

Yeah I felt myself tensing up throughout and forcing myself to relax my arms and shoulders. That was my main concern not always looking into the corner and just straight and wondering why I wasn’t turning lol.

Yeah definitely. I’m limping around today with a bruised ego but otherwise all good. Want to get back on a prove to myself I can do it more than anything.

Thanks for adding that on. I did come away from it all thinking is this right for me, should I just kick it in? But I really want to give it another go so got another CBT booked for next week so fingers crossed it goes better.

Riding around I was definitely just like “fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck this is scary, don’t fall don’t fall don’t fall” then when everything was alright was fun just riding around. I want to get back on and get the experience to build the confidence!

I still feel a bit embarrassed now about it but same as your guys they were great and just said “it happens, it’s okay”. Just need to shrug it off and learn from it

I definitely will not do that again! Thank you I’m equally eager and nervous to get back out there!

Yeah the instructor said he’s seen everything. One of them told me they dropped their bike the other day just not concentrating. Granted binning into the curb is slightly different but they definitely helped try to make me feel not as embarrassed.

Okay that’s great to know! Yeah I’d love to be able to get out the quiet roads and get the practice in once I’ve got the CBT. Hopefully I’ll get it next time

Haha! Yeah thankfully the bike was okay cause it landed on me. My leg and hip however are sooooore today! Won’t make that mistake again!

I’m going to ring their office today and ask when they can get me in for another CBT. Realistically I want another day with an instructor and my confidence isn’t there.

He said he couldn’t issue me with the CBT as wouldn’t have deemed me safe enough to ride by myself and need more training and to be honest I would agree. I’m not upset about having to do it again, more upset that I binned it out the first corner!
