New Rider Coaching (session 2) 4-7-13

[asp_125]

Continuing on with this program. Looks like weather will be ok on the 10 day forecast. (rain date 4-14)

Some of you have read "The Pace". How many of you have actually practiced it?

I'm willing to take 4-5 new-to-canyons riders for some drills. We'll have a short classroom session over morning coffee, then run through some exercises in the local canyons, using the concepts of "the Pace" to finish out the morning.

If I can have another senior rider to volunteer for second instructor or sweep, I could open up for two or three more spots. To be fair, preference will be first timers and those who missed the last one, not someone who's done it already (but I will try my best to fit you in).

I've been riding for 10yrs with many thousands of miles all over the state and elsewhere. I've had track time with Vanmar, Chicane, Go4It, as well as been an instructor in cars for Go4It. I won't admit to knowing everything but certainly enough to make you a better rider.

Reply to this thread and I'll PM the details when I get to 4 noobs.

Volunteers please let me know?

I'm in if that's ok. Haven't done much canyon riding since I moved to Denver.

[Sully]

Good on you, Jeff!

[Cornfed]

Volunteers please let me know?

If you get close and still need a volunteer Ill be there. Just to help, this is your class this time.

[UHATEIT]

I would love to attend this if my parents weren't in town that weekend helping fix up the house. I hope your turnout goes great and I'd attend any other time you do one! The one with Cornfed above was great for me to learn some of the basic things I am forgetting as a rider

[HOTCARCASS]

This is the best thing ever for newer riders. Be smart and take these guys up.

Sounds fun. I'm not sure what my schedule holds just yet, but I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

[rifleshooter]

In.

In case it happens on the rain date, I will be in on the 14th. I have plans on the 7th.

If this isn't filled up with newbies, I'd be interested. I've been to the canyons a couple of times.

That's just enough time to start to memorize bad habits. I would suggest that this would be ideal for your circumstances, especially if you haven't received any substantial instruction.

Now that the roads are starting to get cleared of sand, you can actually get some useful instruction without having to ride in the tire tracks. I'll be PM'ing those interested so far.

If someone is doing one on the 14th I'm free. Parents in town weekend of the 7th or I would be all over this! My noob pace is so slow I am affraid to ride with any csc knowing I will for sure hold them up.

[Nolan]

I'm probably full of bad habits. If there's room I'm in......

[HOTCARCASS]

Looks like u got the four awesome!

[asp_125]

.. and I won't need the rain date.

To anyone still on the fence, because of the need to arrange for any extra senior riders and materials I'm going declare the class "full" on Thursday. Don't wait till the last minute.

[teamextreme]

I'm hoping I'll be in town for one of these...maybe session 3?

[MisterDeadman]

I'm out for sunday. Aold my 250 and looking to pick up a used 600 or Ninja 300 tomorrow - should have insurance next week and I'm in thereafter.

[rifleshooter]

ASP, did you have a meet location and time picked out yet?

[asp_125]

In case anyone didn't get their email package, PM me for particulars. See you guys tomorrow. Make sure you and your bikes are in ready to ride condition.

[usmcab35]

this is a great idea for someone to actually learn some good habits, good on ya asp!

[asp_125]

Changbang: "So I was, like, hitting him with a karate chop."
Asp: "Bitch, please!"


"These black round things here? They're tires.. , or Tahrs as they say in the south, and air goes in them tahrs."








Asp: "Opa gangnam style!"
Changbang: "Uggh.. I should have slept in"
