What a fantastic day! I am an experienced road rider although had never ridden off road. So at 52 years of age I decided I would like to give it a go. The weather was sunny and dry. We got kitted out first with Pete and watched a short safety/advice video. Then Pete took us to the bikes up the mountain in the mini-bus. Where the three of us met up with John the second instructor. Both Pete and John were polite welcoming helpful encouraging and very professional the whole day! Inwardly I was a little apprehensive, new experience/danger and all that. However Pete and John progressively build your skill set stage by stage. All three of us steadily gained confidence and new skills. One guy had never ridden a motorcycle before. Pete put him on a 125cc and within about 30 minutes, he was with us the full day. The other road rider was on a Beta 300cc xtrainer, like myself. Which has a 910mm seat height. At 5’9” we could both flat foot the floor. Which is perfect for dabbing when the trail got gnarly! After our skills training we had lunch about midday. In the afternoon we were led off onto trails. Again John and Pete looked after us, instructing us how to ascend/descend a trail as we ventured further. If you go with a give it a go attitude and listen to the instructors, I guarantee you will improve. The guys really look after you all the way! If I can do it, so can you!Thanks John and Pete, you are a credit to your profession! I would most definitely highly recommend the Mick Extance Experience.
