I am new to IAM, but not to biking. I found this an excellent introduction to the whole advanced riding topic and I am glad I did it at the beginning of my Advanced Riding course.

Thank you Jackie, and to everyone else for the day. I actually chose to go to work today in the rain with my new found “cornering in the wet” confidence, and I made it home! (the sight of diesel still scares me though.

Just a quick word to say thank you very much for all the effort and organisation you and your team gave to us today on the course. Definately worth the admission fee hehe, you should charge more!! especially as everyone gives their time free. Learnt so much, so thanks again.

Just wanted to thank everyone involved on the Look, Lean and Roll course yesterday. Even though I know about counter-steering and have been practising Look, Lean and Roll myself during the Observer rides, the ability to listen to the trainers and practise it in a safe environment was invaluable. I learnt so much and gained a huge amount of confidence in both my cornering ability and my bike. Probably the best £40 I have spent on biking and I’ll be doing it every spring after dodgy winter riding to keep my skills honed. Thanks again – really appreciate everyone giving up their morning to help organise and run the course,  

I just want to add my thanks for all the organisation that must have gone into this. I have had an amazing weekend. I have learned a lot and feel my riding has improved, which has also boosted my confidence as well.

I cannot recommend this course enough. I ride through Pirbright bends everyday, and manage the corners competently with only the occasional “OMG” moment. I rode through them again today, putting my new knowledge into practice, and had a great ride – not just quicker, but I felt much more confident and more importantly, had the knowledge that if something did go wrong, I would know what to do. I had a great day yesterday, and I can’t thank you and the other volunteers enough, especially as there are so many of you willing to help us. It was a well run course, and you were all very generous in imparting your knowledge and experience with newer riders. I feel that all the feedback and tips will improve my riding, and it was really great to learn this in a safe environment. I hope to do the course again, to really cement these techniques into my everyday riding to make me a safer rider. Hopefully, next time, I can do it in bad weather – after all, this is England. All in all, the course was an absolute bargain when I think about what I gained in terms of knowledge and confidence, and I would have no hesitation in recommending the course to any rider.

Can I just say what a great morning it was, whilst I’m fairly confident in my bikes capabilities I wouldn’t have believed it was possible to ride around that course and learn new limits of lean whilst being smooth and feeling completely confident it would come out the other side…………..not forgetting that I was looking at where it was supposed to go. Absolutely brilliant….thanks

Great weekend and even better than I was told it would be. Think I have also mastered LLR at last with thanks to some advice from Andy! Thanks to all involved,especially Louise and Steve, for making it the best ever biking experience.

Brilliant course all round Jackie and for me invaluable and I will probably do it again just for fun! (feel free to feed that back to TVAM!). Thank you so much for all of your communications and your support on the day (as you know I was hideously nervous!). I know this will make a massive improvement to my riding skills so looking forward to putting it into place.

What a fabulous weekend! Amazing weather, fabulous rides and lovely people in Gods own country. Huge thanks to Lou and Steve for the organisation, Steve and Ian for such brilliant runs and Dawn and Candice for being the best room-mates. :-*

Very valuable course – I’m already navigating roundabouts with greater confidence and (hopefully) ability and not afraid of having my pegs hit the tarmac on the odd occasion.

Yesterday I decided to join the Green Team B Run. What a super ride-out, ably led by Rick Watson, and back marked by Sid Collyer. We rode down lovely back roads for mile after mile, with no pressure to speed and no need to map read. We ended up at the recently refurbished Nelsons’ Diner, and I had the best bacon sandwich ever! Thanks to all involved.

Just wanted to say a big Thank You to all involved today. You may have noticed what a great time I was having. Last time you gave me the skills and I went away and tried to put it all into practice. What difference a year makes. Fan-bloody-tastic!!!

The explanation of the physics of a bike cornering was the best explanation I have encountered of a surprisingly difficult subject.

A superb day, really built on existing skills, having great fun at the same time.

Had a great day and learned heaps. All the volunteers where very positive and friendly. This made it so more relaxing. A big thank you to all the staff who gave up there Sunday morning to help us be a better rider. Marvellous !!!!  

All in all a fantastic way to get to know the bike, and to receive some excellent feedback and encouragement.  The counter-steering ‘workshop’ was very useful, and definitely a good starting point.  I was also very impressed with the way the course was laid out for the practice bends.  A nice mix of tight and sweeping bends, and at no point did I feel over-crowded on the track, despite the fact that it must be tempting to accept a larger number of people as you must get a lot of people who want to attend. If there is one negative point I could volunteer, it’s that half a day is not enough – just as I was beginning to grasp the concept of counter steering and applying it to the course, it was all over!  I can , however, appreciate that the volunteers probably would like some free hours in their weekend, so it’s just a minor point! Thanks again!
