Robodog Posted July 9, 2013 Share Hey Sean...We need to get a volunteer day going soonest... Rode it on Sunday and there's a massive braking rut on the top corner of the switchback that needs repairing... See you soon? Yep saw that. It's even on the wrong line... I try to get my students to go down there without locking up. And then the constant flipping grass cuttings on the trail has resulted in a couple of lie downs.

Joeboy69 Posted July 18, 2013 Share The intro and intermediate courses in Pta again 11 and 17 Aug ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TALUS Posted July 25, 2013 Share Started today. Best feedback is that I have now booked 10 lessons in advance. First time in a while I had FUN - not trying to beat a time etc. I am even more shyte than a thought at really basic stuff such as braking and turning. Really cool dude with no pressure. I am in for the long run... Edited July 25, 2013 by TALUS Gavin Pelser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolipoli Posted July 25, 2013 Share My wife did a intro course with Gav.Firstly, it changed her from a real noob into a capable MTBer (loves single track!).Secondly, I learned stuff that improved my riding no end. Lastly, Gav is a really cool guy, and we gained a biking mate. Gavin Pelser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
