That is awesome that you got in this late in the season. The classes will get really busy come spring as winter gets long and boring. Good for you.

That looks like the closest location to Ravenna. I'm a coach for the program as are a few other members on OR so if you have any questions or issues getting registered, please post up. Question. The course is spread out over three days. I know I should take my gear with me, but should I go into class wearing my boots? Or will they give you time to put those on before getting onto a bike? I'm guessing the first day is classroom only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your gear. They will give you time to put them on. The instructors will guide you along. CR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First day (in a three day program) is classroom only so you won't need your gear. The coaches will go over what is needed for the range days, but you'll need to have everything with you. If you don't have a helmet, they will have helmets to borrow. Bring a snack and plenty of water. I'm glad to hear you signed up, have fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tier10 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Okay, this is how it went. Was an hour drive for me after having to take a detour, traffic was bad, made it home Thursday night at 11. I struggled to stay awake during this drive. I had a long week. Next class was scheduled for 7am, for Sat and Sun. Woke up Sat morning to go take that class and I just could not wake up enough to actually drive another hour to be there safely by 7am. So I didn't make the second day. I tried to recoup after a long hard week. Today I am trying to do the same. Also, just found out they have an 8 hour, two day course that I will schedule closer to home in the spring as early as I can. I already know my way around a motorcycle so I can get by on the 2 day course, and still use their bikes. So I will register for that as soon as it becomes available. Thanks for everyone helping me in my journey to acquire an endorsement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Sorry to hear that. The two day class (BRC) is exactly the same material as the three day BRC. If you do a BRC-RR, that is accelerated and skips over some of the basics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still ride in the meantime. I did manage to get the first day completed of the course and was able to take home a book they give you, with lots of safety information in it. I'll read that and study it as much as I can. When do the courses usually open up in the spring time?

jacobhawkins Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Classes usually get rolling in March. Can be chilly still! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
