Off road days/training courses...

[Carrera2]

I'm looking to get some training in off road riding for a trip I'm planning and wondered if anyone on here had any recommendations for training courses.

The two I've looked at so far are

Huskytrails - looks fun but not really training as such

Worldofbmw - looks much better but is an entire weekend (still keen though)

Any others in the Home counties area you can suggest? I'd prefer it on a bigger bike (500+cc) rather than, say a motocrosser, as this is more likely to be the size of off-road bike I'll be using ultimately.

Cheers

I did the Off road experience. Great fun.

Nothing like the BMW Off raod thing though.

Also it's worth having a look at the ads in TBM. There are a lot of courses in there.

Go to your newsagent and obtain TBM or Trials and Motocross news. Both Cover Trail and Enduro riding and have school's advertise in them.

Hi there,

Try the Yamaha 1-day off road experience:

I did a day with them a couple of years ago and it was brilliant fun.

Alternatively, if you can stretch to a long weekend, then Redtread offer the same thing as BMW ... but in Spain. Wales or Spain for similar cost? It's a no brainer. I've been more then once and can highly recommend it. They're brilliant.

Cheers Telecat - I'll do that.

SVS - looks like fun but I need something a bit less motoX and more Enduro, riding on sand, heavy bikes, that sort of thing....thanks all the same.
