Quiet here lately - if you're not already aware, be advised! EarthRider is currently engaged in private instruction and guiding only. Still here; just a call or email away.

400 followers! Yay and thanks!

And apologies, for failing to share the upcoming April class events until they are less than 10 days out! You know what that means though - small classes. And everybody likes that.

.. Which means everybody is going to sign up really fast, right? So get in now before classes fill up! Big classes...:-)

Pleasant morning on the Line Selection class:

Ed "I'm-way-out-of-my-comfort-zone-with-this-big-bike-on-this-track" Bernal applying Fundamentals SkillzDrill material to some riding near day's end.
We jammed him back in.

Come to think of it, no we didn't... but we did move the boundary markers back quite a ways. Go Ed!

The inclement weather turned out to be just about perfect for our purposes. Looking forward to a great day riding during tomorrow's Line Selection class (https://www.facebook.com/events/407702156320368/).

When you're off the slab, Line Selection can make or break your day. Get it right and this turn followed by a short rocky climb is a fun & challenging 15 seconds of your ride. Mess it up and you could spend 15 minutes clawing your way through, or maybe not - without help from a few friends!

What's the best line? It depends. On what? We'll talk about that during the Line Selection SkillzDrill ( https://www.facebook.com/events/407702156320368/ ) on 03/04/18. Once you've picked a line, how do you make sure you hit it? We'll discuss that too. Bring your grab-bag of random riding-related questions; we'll address a wide variety of topics over the course of this class / ride.

matters! The best thing you can do for your off pavement riding is start strong. Join us for the Fundamentals SkillzDrill ( https://www.facebook.com/events/779033088965082/ ) coming up on the third. Can you see two changes this rider can make to drastically improve his control off pavement? Join us 03/03/18 to learn about them, and much more.
