guys n gals--This is one fantastic idea BUT
the only way it will work is being a one on one situation with NO pressure from a group ride.
The dynamics of group riding just doesnt work for this situation
As such I think setting out in pairs--instructor /student at say 2.0 minute intervals going the same route will be fine
one thought would be to swap students at a designated half way point
a different prospective may help

if ther is not enough instructors even setting off in peers student/student could be ok, and then on a break, the peer discusses with an instructor on which skill/technique was being focused on?

Sounds good, Im sure we can nut it out on the day; will see how many mentors turn up and how many newbies are there etc...

impossible to pair everyone up on here until we know for sure numbers coming next week.

great feedback.. keep it coming...

[FROSTY:Me]

I vote dan for fence building tips

[Kittyhawk]

mmm I have great advice for everyone - get leg warmers which match the colour of your bike and then you'll all look fabulous!!!

Might come along, will see closer to the time.

This Mentor idea would be good on the track too. Im trying to get Brian Deadman to give me some trackday mentoring

Ill be there on wednesday, although ill probably do my own ride, or chat up any chicks that are in the vicinity.

Let's start with braking and cornering shall we??

ok - right hand... extand fingers and squezong on that lever thingy... that's your front brake. It helps you slow enough to successfully negotiate a corner.

The back brake will help too, but one thing at a time...

ok... now we've slowed sufficiently... cornering. Right handers seem to be topical...

[silverado]

Good on you

Hmmm it seems that some people think they are going to get mentored by a race rep or something - Can we clarify who's this training group is for DD? I was under the impression it was designed for newbs........Learners and Restricted class holders etc...

PS Weather looks great for this weds!
