Next meeting should be Monday 9th May at Treeton Miners Welfare.

Tell 'em Micky sent you, I may well not be there ... off to Germany today, back home on Sunday 8th May and then straight off to Wales for a few days riding the hills with the Irish pals

Wishbone, I'll be at that meeting with my other half. Starts at 8pm, but best to be there just before. Also if you go down to Meadowhall Retail Park (near to the McDonalds) about 9am on a Saturday morning there will always be a good number of people there (40-50 bikes on occasions). If you ask for the 'guidance secretary ' (Alan) he will sort out an assessment for you.

I've had my gs nearly a year now and i feel my confidence is growing every ride , however im very interested in taking some kind of advanced training , I did the the bikesafe course last year and enjoyed it , I read all the articles i can on better riding and try to put them into practice ,
I was speaking to a north yorks IAM observer the other day and told me it may take me approx 9 to 10 lessons to get to test standard (dependant on my skills already)
Will IAM give me the skills I need for every day riding that i can take away and use and improve on , or ! is it designed (nowdays) just to get me through the test , give me a certificate and cheaper insurance ??
Im very interested on anyones opinions on this
thanx
