Class started with introductions…three guys, eight women…I expected the ratio to be the other way around. The class ranged from a 20ish woman to a guy who was in his mid to late 50s…broad range…really good mix. We were sitting in class filling out the waivers and going over ground rules…then one of the instructors said” this is getting kinda boring, lets go out to the bikes…we can do the videos later”…well we started slow…at first not starting the bikes, taking turns pushing each other to a jogging pace and practicing balance and controlled stops. Then started the bikes and practiced friction zones…then slow speed, to a controlled stop…
After everyone got the hang of that, we rode over to the practice track/area…and just rode around and got a feel for the bikes. They stopped us after a while and got us to ride back to the “barn” and we were past our end time…I couldn’t beleive how fast the three hours were over, and no videos…I would imagine, we will pay for that tomorrow…now I am kicking myself for not starting this 20 years ago…oh well, better late than never…and maybe the silly grin will be gone by tomorrow morning, but I wouldn’t hold my breath…lol
I will let you know how tomorrow goes…
