About this event
Kandi Spangler is a former MSF RiderCoach, and two-time U.S. Women’s Team Member and BMW GS Trophy finalist who provides coaching for beginner adventure riders, co-ed or women’s only classes available. Day 1 covers the basics of adventure riding including proper body position, riding while standing, shifting while standing, techniques for accelerating and decelerating and breaking traction. Day 2 gets into tighter turns and counterweighting as well as hill-work. The 1-Day class is a shortened version of the 2-Day class. Up to 20 students max.

Attire: All riders must wear protective gear and be prepared for some possible slow falls. At a minimum, we require the following:

Motorcycle: Please do a quick check of your motorcycle’s health a few days prior to our training day to make sure your chain is lubed (if applicable), your oil is at an acceptable level, your tire pressure is at the recommended PSI, and check your overall motorcycle for condition and leaks. I will have a few simple tools available onsite on our training day, but we won't have a lot of time to service motorcycles as it takes away from everyone’s time training on the bike. So, please take the time to make sure your bike is ready for riding.
