I signed up for this event as a novice and I've never ridden a bike on track before. Will there be instructors? I see that there won't be any classroom sessions. I'm just a little worried that my skill level might be too low.
There will be instructors and you will ride behind one who will set a pace you are comfortable with. We will keep you with them all evening. Come see me in the tower and I will talk you through the event and make sure you have everything you need. I will be on site around 2:00PM. Be sure to sign up for one of our full day events as well to take advantage of the exceptional novice classroom sessions.
We had a helmet left in the crash truck after the event ended. PM me to identify and we will get it back to you.
