Last year we were looking at how we could help Members keep their riding skills up to scratch after completing the Advanced Riding Course (ARC).

A small number of people have taken advantage of Fellow Membership - where you are reassessed every three years - whilst others have gone for the Masters qualification, or have engaged in Observer training.  However, for most people, after doing the ARC, their riding is not exposed to regular critical feedback.  Now I don't know about you, but I know my riding can always be better!

To bridge this gap, Rider Continuous Improvement Coaching (we call it the Ride Clinic) was introduced in 2018 to allow members to get ongoing training without having to sign up for one of the more onerous routes.  Since starting the initiative, over 45 members have used the clinic, made up of anyone from people returning to biking after a break (winter hibernation or longer), to "just passed" associates looking to improve their riding skills even further. 

The clinics are tailored to the specific needs of each rider, are on a one-to-one basis, and let you decide where you will get the most from some additional input.  Let's be honest... we all have at least one aspect of our riding we wish we could do better! 

The clinics will continue to be available throughout the winter and beyond, so why not contact John Burns on rideclinics@slambikers.co.uk to book a session!
