I met my IAM observer, Ian Souter, for my third observed ride at Woburn Triumph. Thankfully when I arrived there the sun was shining but I had ridden through a thunderstorm with some hailstones thrown in along the way so I was hoping the sun would dry me out a little!

I met my IAM observer, Ian Souter, for my second observed ride of the Advanced Rider Course at Ashridge. The sun was shining and we were in for a beautiful afternoon. I had no nerves today and was actually looking forward to today’s session.

I’ve now had my first observed ride as part of my IAM RoadSmart course and I’ve got to say it was really good. I was apprehensive before I met up with my observer, Ian Souter, about what to expect.

It would appear that I am embarking on an Advanced Rider Course. Oo er! I thought I would do a regular piece as I go along so you can see the whole process and how I am getting on.
