    Hi guys and gals,

    Some might think this is a stupid idea but i'll ask anyway :

    I'm looking for someone who's willing to go for a couple of country rides to help me with my riding, help & tips by watching me and also letting me follow so i can see another riders interpretation of corners, positioning etc..

    I'm willing to pay for some petrol, within reason. Work commitments mean i can't go down the professional/dedicated route at the moment ( before anyone suggests it )

    Thanks
    onwards and upwards and sometimes a little sidewards....

    you could always go for one free assessed rides with IAM, as far as I know you don't have to be a member to do this the first time. Your nearest group would give you the details of when their next free session is. (Im sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

    Bike Safe is good too, and that's free in Wiltshire - you'd only need one day for it.

    You're welcome to stick with me on a ride out but as I've only been riding a few years, I'm sure there are some more experienced riders who'd be better at the one-to-one advice.

    I do not consider myself an expert but have been riding for a long time 1979, would be more than happy to ride out together?

    Good idea - but since I have been riding for less than a year, I am not the person to ask. But I have booked myself on to the Bikesafe course in April, which comes recommended.

    I am looking at the IAM stuff too - but will wait until after the Bikesafe stuff first.

    I'm happy to go for a ride with you, I would like to become an active member.

    I passed my Rospa exam in October so can't be that bad to be out with. I'm not a big speeder though, I stick to 20, 30, 40 and 50 religiously
