After lengthy and extensive negotiations (well, I sent an e-mail) I have managed to obtain some free skills training for a group of us on Saturday 2nd or Sunday 3rd January 2010. This will be local (Surrey Hills) and it will be free. It will be provided for us free of charge by our friends at Astounding Adventures who offer mountain bike coaching in The Surrey Hills and beyond. In this case they have agreed to provide it for free and we will probably be hooking up with a group from the Moles too. No matter how good a rider you think you are you can always learn by watching other people ride and by people telling you how to approach certain sections and it's all the sweeter if that coaching is being given for free. So how about it then, I'm in, is anyone else up for it. Did I mention that it's free?

Good stuff.
Here's more details from Astounding Adventures
Looks like we are going to run a course on both days .... also inviting The Moles and ...one or two others...
The plan is to run a full day course incorporating both our fundamentals based Core Skills Course in the morning and our Singletrack Course in the afternoon. Oddly [enough]experienced riders tend to find the fundamentals course most useful.
We'll run it at Holmbury Hill starting from the YHA car park. There'll be time to have an hour break for lunch at The Volunteer
Sounds good to me.
Keep the weekend free and we'll get more detail as we get closer to the date(s).

wow, great response.
I dunno if we are limited by numbers and hopefully the two day session will fit us all in but i think i'd better make a cut here and now.
So any requests after this message will be on an 'if spaces are available' basis.

Somehow I suspect you might be overbooked already, but it's too good an opportunity to pass up, so put me down in the unlikely event there are still spaces.

Hi Rich, at the moment 2nd is still good for me, although looking at the reserves list I think my place should go to one of them first as they get out with you far more than me... Maybe I should let one of them take a place and I go on reserve list....
