Nice write-up, Mrs Cowboyz. You sound like a natural born rider! I think I stalled about ten times when I did my first lesson.

You'll be fine on Saddle Road:

This is great advise, and works well up there.... Always look where you want to go.... Don't look at what you don't want to hit.

The Saddle is just a whole series of corners linked by some (very few) straight bits....

Keep it up. BHT will be a piece of cake for you.

One step at a time though

Not going to be long me thinks

Man... not bloody bad for 10 minutes on a bike, well done her. I"m about to teach Mrs IR to ride too. We must compare notes. I'm a little worried about it turning into royal rumble 2009 arguement wise.

Don't worry, there is no need for it to come to that. Truly.

TBH, I think it helps that Mrs C has had nothing to do with bikes and they have been a big part of my life forever. That and we very rarely argue anyway.
