    Hi just wondered if anyone has done a Bike Safe recently from Devizes and how far /where you go for the ride out?

    I'm booked in for next week and really looking forward to it

    I did a Bike Safe day a couple of years ago, really good day, you'll enjoy it! If I remember right, I think we were out for about an hour.
    It's all about the ride!

    The observed ride is a terrific part of the day.

    It is a slighly odd experience being tailed by the rozzers but well worth it and you are given some helpful tips/pointers from very highly skilled riders.

    Everything else is shyte

    Thats the bit I'm really looking forward to - I was wondering where they ride out to from Devizes.

    When they used to go from Urchfont Manor they would go to Upavon, Durrington and then onto Stonehenge and back. As Rosie said, about an hour or so with a stop for a debrief. Best bit is when they take the lead and you follow them.....

    Its an excellent day and well worth it - especially as its free!! Unlike most other bikesafe training days around the country.

    There are normally about 6 police riders and so they go off in all directions for about an hour with two "students". Each of you gets about a half hour at the lead and half hour at the back with the police rider in the middle.

    Hope you enjoy it

    It's about 25-30 mins in front of the Rozzer and then about the same following. Great day all round. You'll have a great time.
