Any tips? I have already asked many questions and read a bunch but if you have something interesting throw in your 2 cents!

Thanks

Relax.

Trust yourself, your tires and your bike.

Follow the CR's lines and suggestions.

HAVE FUN!

What's the scoop on the GAP trip in May?

It's a yearly trip the members of another site I frequent (gasp) to honor the first member who passed away riding. He died on the Gap and we have a small cross where he died. I've been the past 3 years. While it is a memorial, it's also a lot of fun.

. There are usually about 60 of us.

2 years ago at dinner I found myself sitting beside this guy named Jared.

What he said.

Also if they give you the opportunity, maybe walk the track ahead of time. Get a feel for it and an idea of what to expect.

Thanks! Nate Kern will be instructing and I hope I learn some things to take to the Gap in May too.

And I refuse to get addicted!!

Kern is a nice guy.

He came to one of our days about 2 years ago.

He's pretty quick.

He is a great instructor, I had him for 5 laps of NJMP a few years ago and he really put me through the paces. He would scare the shit out of me though in the one corner where his back tire would fly a foot to either side under hard braking.
