Pract 5.02 12 September 2018
Session 7: 7.20pm-9.00pm
So the day has come where I would be taking my circuit evaluation. I think when I started out, I didn't dare think about reaching this step but now, achieving it really brings such satisfaction to me. Although the RC yesterday was not really good and I was pretty nervous for this. So yeah,
The instructor that we got was Chen Jian Hui. hahaha I saw his nametag. He told us to go on our own first, like do whichever course that we wanted to do and then to be back at the starting point at 7.45pm. He would be going around the different courses to see us and all that. So off we went.
I tried the plank first cause that was still the one that I was not confident with. I think after the tip by the instructor during my RC#1, I could really do it much much better and felt really confident. So, after that, went to ebrake, then to slope then figure 8 and crank course. I think I did farely well for this and felt more confident after going through the different courses. I went back to plank and the instructor told me to go back to the mini circuit after I finished my ebrake.
After that, he gave a thorough briefing of the circuit test route and was really clear with his instructions, like where we were supposed to wait, that we were to wait for him to give instructions first before we proceeded with the course, and where to check blindspot and all that. So I think it took about 15 mins and we were going to do our circuit evaluation. YIKES.
So, I was the third bike. So, at the start already got problem because we were supposed to lane change after the bend but there were cars and all that and I think I did a slightly abrupt lane change. Then we continued on with the slope. I think I did alright except that I braked abit too hard at the start. I saw him writing something on the paper and I thought, jialat liao, kena demerit points. So, we carried on to the figure 8. I was pretty nervous but was feeling abit more confident after the practice just now that I felt was not too bad. So, I managed to do it smoothly and the crank course too. I was feeling slightly happy. We continued on straight to do plank. This is another course that I was fearful of. But I managed to do it together with the pylon. I think I was quite slow for the plank and could hit the timing. I felt that I was alright for the pylon as well. Then, we came to the last station which is ebrake. I managed to do it but apparently, I didn't use foot brake. He pointed it out and I was slightly sian about it. Then we went to the mini circuit.
He told us to continue practicing and to go back at 8.55pm.
So, thats what we did. I honestly, didn't feel that confident after the entire course and felt that I had to come back. I internally tried to soothe myself by telling myself that its ok and that I will do better next time. So, at 8.55pm, we went back to meet him. He passed me back my paper and guess what... I GOT 18 DEMERIT POINTS! I PASSED THIS MAN (although by 2points). WAH I WAS OVER THE MOON. He told me that my pylon and figure 8 timing need to improve. Especially figure 8 cause I took like 12.23 seconds and it was supposed to be below 11s.
Wah, but still, I was over the moon. It was a good day indeed.
So, I yeah, I just need to clear my 3 defensive riding classes, then I can go on the road! woohooooo!!!
