    Oh I know that. I just think the two you are talking about may be members here (I don't fit those descriptions, BTW, so it's not me). There are a few of us here that have taught for Ironstone. You are entitled to your opinion and if you feel that an instructor did not do a good job, your should absolutely tell them or their employer. Theres a survey in the back page of the Course Guide.

    ...and also, I'm an awesome instructor (or so I tell myself).

    I'm going to be shadowing at Streetwise in a couple of weeks to start the process to become an instructor.

    Don't forget about the 95 degree with thunderstorms, that's how I took my basic rider course. Every so often we would be on the course, the sky would turn back and we would have to run into a shelter to get out of the lightning.

    hehe... sounds like the course I coached at Bunker Hill last year. We only got a little rain, but TONS of wind and TONS of lightning all around us. It's like there was a giant knife cutting a wedge in the storm clouds right above us.

    Come out to the Pioneer Valley. Not only do we have the best instructors, but the weather is always nice.
