PRACTICE DAYS INFO

WE WILL BE RUNNING THREE PRACTICE DAYS IN 2011

The aim of these events are to provide a safe riding environment for riders new to off road riding as well as a chance for seasoned riders to practice.

We provide an easy to ride main course for the novice rider with more challenging deviations for the more experienced rider. We also provide a separate track for youths with auto’s and smaller bikes.

Riders can enter on any Solo Motorcycle with off road capabilities, it does not have to be a competition bike. The events consist of multiple 1 hour sessions starting with Adult riders followed by youth riders. If we get enough Junior riders we may provide a separate track.

All events are open to Members and non Members.
