Beatiful day today. Had a RoSPA assessment ride. Perfect weather for it.

How did it go? I have no idea where that is. I was at Stoney Cove last Saturday.

Ride went well. I will need a couple more before I am test ready.

Picture was taken at the end of my drive. Just parked up to close the gates, keep the riffraff out.

It's a cheap pyramid one. Looks nasty from the other side.

Ah right. I have a Pyramid hugger on my BCR. It isn't too bad but I'm not keen on the fixing method of attaching to some adaptors that replace brake calliper bolts

Yes. You are observed 1:1 by a volunteer observer over a number of weeks with the aim of improving your riding. The final assessment is by a Police instructor.

I have done stuff like this before, IAM, RoSPA (way back when) so I am just brushing up really. I though after my mates accident back in the summer some refreshment would not hurt.

The main reason is to help me to prioritise riding over mowing the lawn etc and encourage me to actually ride the thing.
