“I feel lucky that it was raining for our training day. Riding in wet weather used to be a major fear for me, now I’m much more confident in the rain. In fact, the raining part of the ride back from Puhoi to Orewa on the twisty roads was the most fun I’ve had on my bike.”

“One of the best and most useful courses I have been to since getting on the bike. Awesome Instructors – the information was clear and precise, its all on to us know to digest that and put into practice to become safe riders and most of all enjoy riding.”

“A professional and extremely well put together course. This should be made compulsory for all riders/road users. The skills obtained are lifesaving.”

“Really enjoyed our day at Pukekohe even though we had vastly different levels of riding experience. The coaches were friendly, supportive and really knew their “stuff”. We know our bikes better and came away with areas of riding that we can work on, resulting in us being better and safer riders on the roads.”

“This should be compulsory for all. ACC funded the day, 8 hours for $20 great value. If you have not taken the course you should.”

Instructors were amazing and I learnt a few extra skills/tips which was great!
Thank you so much for the time put into this course
Awesome correction when needed along with praise
The instructors were very helpful and patient gave us very good advice and they checked my rear brake as it wasn’t working
Really good feedback from the instructors on an individual level
I will be more steady on my scooter and able to corner better
Awesome course, well set out and easy to follow
Learnt a lot – been scootering for 15 years
Definitely learnt braking skills I never knew
I really appreciated the opportunity to have errors in my riding identified and actioned. This was invaluable as I want to ride well, and consider feedback and improvements essential.

I am not a Off-roader but now feel far more confidant about my ability to travel safely on gravel(or even mud) should the occasion arise.

Significantly improved my confidence and safety on gravel

Great day, didn’t realise how much fun you could have on a road bike on gravel. If someone riding for 18 months can have this much fun on a LAMS road bike on gravel, how many experienced riders are missing the thrill and simple skills of gravel road on a grown-ups road bike ?
