Training Day 7 - Driving

More driving. 5:30am start again.

First thing in the morning I did some driving in suburban areas which had various kinds of traffic calming devices: speed humps, chicanes, etc. Didn’t too badly (in my opinion) but I need more practice with the chicanes. Then I rode as ‘shotgun’ while my trainer drove a scheduled L38 service from Five Dock to Wynard. In the afternoon I did some driving on highways and main roads. I felt comfortable doing this but my trainer said I wasn’t checking my rear view mirrors often enough. Drove several kilometres on Parramatta Rd, the lanes are very narrow, only just as wide as the bus.
