I always seem to get those cold, rainy weekends... Maybe I shouldn't schedule myself for April and october anymore? :idea:
The way it works is: it's either bitterly cold and rainy or spitting snow, or it's freakin' hot and steamy with a brutal sun giving you a beat-down, or it's so damn perfect out that you are insanely jealous of all the bikes riding by while you stand in a parking lot. Despite that, it's still a blast and by the end of the weekend, you remember exactly why standing in the cold wet steamy heat is so worth it.
I'll take being jealous of the "ride bys" over the alternatives anyday ;)
Yeah, but we get dirt ride-bys at our site. Those are really hard to take when it's beautiful out... Braaap, braaaaap, braaaaap... Aw damn, I have 8 more hours of "squeeze the clutch, cluuuuutch!!!" :lol:

They should. Why don't they? We can teach like that.Quote:

But even if I've worked it out with whoever I'm coaching with that they'll be doing all the demos, I usually wear long pants and maybe a long sleeve shirt anyway... or at the very least, have all my riding stuff with me in the car.
They are lucky I'm clothed out there.

yes, yes they are! :)
When I taught in NH, we were supposed to swap walking & talking every break, so both RCs had to dress to ride. I liked it because it split up the cone kicking, and let both RCs get to know the group a bit better and ride every day. They also did not want you showing up in a car to teach a motorcycle course.
Cone kicking???? PLEASE.
Range Aids all the way!
I have been in contact with Joe from Ironstone Ventures to become a range aid. It sounds promising so far, but we have not had a chance to meet yet as I am in Iraq until this Saturday, I will start my journey home then. (2-3 days)
I REALLY hope this works out, I REALLY want to do this....Wouldn't you know he sends me an email on the day I got here......Just my luck!
I explained I am here for a short time (2 weeks) and would contact him as soon as I get back in town. We live in the same town so it is a really good opportunity for me.
I hope he can hold out and this don't ruin my chances to get my foot in the door. I have been waiting all winter for this to happen.
Wish Me Luck!!!! :pray:
Training Wheels just graduated 10 new instructors.
Good luck!
Very cool. Good luck, bro!
Good luck bro! I have been sending out emails and what not trying to get involved locally as well and it's quite difficult. I'm surprised how hard it is to get involved when offering to volunteer your time. I am hoping to start as a range aid for a year and I'm having difficulty getting anyone to call me back.
replied - and emailed him, thank you!
