Sounds good. i can't make this one but i may be keen on this next time. my life partner is keen to get into the sport so will let him know this is poss coming up again.
Hopefully you two can make it next time Steve I'm sure you would enjoy it. Its a shame as we've already had requests to cover muddy up hills and log hopping which i'm sure you would enjoy along with the faster cornering techniques and bike set up.
Cheers for today Matt and Simon much fun was had 🤔
Great advice from both Jamie and Dan and the bike now fells better with the surspension set up abit better and that's even with my limatied talant or lack off.
Defo learnt some interesting ways to handle the bike too never really used burms so that was interesting!!! And as we said if you don't fall off your not trying hard enough and the bent leaver and missing hand gaurd surgest I fell off...
On the plus side I can now get over logs without stoping 🤔 Not sure now usful that will be on the lanes but you never know...
Will defo come again if you do one but there is no way I could race that track for 4 hours...
Oh and far play to the 12 year old lad he can really ride and some of us look slow!!!
Glad you enjoyed it mate, Jamie and Dan did a great job of the rider training as did Chris and Ian on the bike set up. We had a mixed group of varying abilities and from the feedback I've had everyone enjoyed it and took away some valuable tips.
The waiting list for the next training is half full already and we haven't even arranged a date yet so we must be doing something right 😀
Thanks for coming and it nice to finally put a face to the name.
