What sort of turnout do these rides usually get, and does anyone with any rider training quals or similar turn up? Cheers!

Good news is Sharry has had a shift change so will be along more often.

These days anywhere from 6-12 people or so. No one with rider training qualifications as far as I know but collectively there's a lot of experience between a few riders who go regularly.

If you're after high quality rider training it's best to seek out a course on offer from a registered provider - be it through ACCs programme or ProRider, Rider Training, etc.

These rides are really just about the camaraderie of riding with some tips and tricks thrown in by the more experienced riders (at least that's how I view it! :P)

Would be great to see you along if you're interested though. We don't bite, but we do order coffee instead of beers at a bar afterwards because we're proper jafas like that.

Well said but you failed to mention chaps this time

As everyone can see on this thread, we ride to refresh our skills and give each other some shit as well but all in good fun.

Cheers for that. Yeah, I might be keen to come along, work shifts permitting...

Big day yesterday. The problem I have with slow speed drills is starting to turn up on the track.

But got a few good laps in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2-3qUEBsEg

Much quicker this time. If I can sort the dizziness I will be in G3 next time.

If it is an equalibrium / inner ear type issue you have try chewing mints at the begging of rides. Works a treat for me, I get a lot of inner ear infections due to a youth spent going swimming at any opportunity.
