Signed up for Lee Parks ARC Level 1 this Spring, who's done it?

[Spinnaker]

The ERC was alright, but I'd like to take a deeper dive into it. Apparently the maximum teacher/student ratio is 6:1; hopefully no one signs up for my course

Anyone taken it?

I took it. Great class. They throw a lot of info at you in a very short period of time. I noticed an immediate improvement of my riding style.

Worth every penny.

Awesome, good feedback thanks.

Should I bring meals?

[za'afiel]

They break for a lunch for about an hour. Some people packed but I drove off to a nearby place. In the morning they brought coffee and water, but I wouldn't plan for every place to be the same.

Bring spare drinks just in case. Camera too.

Is there any reason to just skip the ERC and head straight into Lee's course? I have over 5000 miles since June of last year and read his book countless times. Including both of Keith's books as well.

great class. definite improvements that can be seen even as you're in the class.
one note, follow instructions and DON'T DO TOO MUCH TOO SOON (that got me a dropped bike and a broken shifter, spent the rest of the class in 1st)

ARC pretty much teaches cornering only. a little bit of braking, but that's about it. Different beast altogether.
ERC is free in PA so there was no reason not to take it, but i got little bits of useful info from there, and a whole ton from ARC.

Yeah I'd take the ERC first as well, it was only $80 or so in CT and a good start to a riding season, pack on a few more thousand and take the ARC; or hell do both the same season.

So I just took this course on Sunday, it was awesome. If you're planning on doing one or the other, definitely do this one. With the repositioning of my body/simultaneous throttle and brake control; corners that seemed tight on the way up were ho hum on the way home.

I did Christine's kick start in Poughkeepsie, she's a riot
