6. Pre Learners Day 1 - Repeat

I made my way to the training centre at Clyde about 2 hours before I was due... just in case...

Mostly got there fine except that I realised I forgot my license half way there. Anyway, I rang the guy in charged and he said not to worry about it. Phew!

Got there fairly early and waited around for a bit. There were a bunch of guys + 1 girl doing their Ps and they all looked so confident! One day I'll get there I'm sure! 

Not too long later, Steve called out for me and another guy and got us ready for Day 1 repeat. 

He asked about our experiences and what went wrong on Day 1. Before we started, he reassured me that I was going to be fine and its quite likely that I'll get through the day. He started off with making us ride the bike in the straight line. We both did well and he praised us and told us to keep up the good work. Next was left turn... I was initially abit wobbly so he said, let's do this a few more times and before I knew it, I was riding fine. Right turn was no problems. Than it was changing gears and before we knew it, he got us off our bike and told us both we were ready for Day 2. PASSED!! Yipee. 

Through the whole process, he explained why we had to do what we were doing and provided real life examples of when it would come in handy in traffic. He took the class at a reasonable pace and provided alot of encouragement. I left the centre feeling much better about myself and slightly more confident. 

As I was leaving, I called and booked in for Day 2.
