[FONT="]Better Riding Days - One confirmed for 2015[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Greetings[/FONT][FONT="] from Martin Hopp ? hopprider@me.com. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Well, we didn?t completely close down after all! Here?s what happened to HRT since we announced closure in the middle of this year. My lovely son and 2nd in charge, Richard, was certain that he was not going to continue for another year, and for a while we agreed to shut down. After all, we have been running HRT since 2001, which makes it 13 years, and I?m not getting any younger (in fact the older I get, the faster I was). [/FONT]
[FONT="]Richard, is busy with his Tennis and Squash Coaching business down there in the Chichester area (hoppcoaching.co.uk), and on top of this he has a passion for mountain biking, which he shares with his two young children. Very much a family man.[/FONT]
[FONT="]So Rich has sold his bike, all his kit and it?s all over for him. And all done with the best paaassible taste, with no regrets or hard feelings.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I was never giving up biking though, and I got to thinking ?hang on a minute, I love my road-riding and I?ve got a big bike to run. So why not carry on with HRT but in a reduced way?? After all we?ve battled through some horrendous losses since the crash in 2008, and survived.
[FONT="]So what if I just do one BRD Extra per year at Cadwell[/FONT] and at least HRT can keep a profile, and our Associates - Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership - will also be able to continue, using The HRT Team of Instructors as usual? LRSP and HRT have been working together for many years, with their Performance Plus Days always running the day before our BRDs to provide a Skills Day with some track riding so we can offer a pair of days for those who feel the need.[/FONT]
[FONT="]So, whilst all of the above ramblings may not be of the greatest interest to you all, the upshot is I?ve just uploaded onto hoppridertraining.co.uk the [FONT="]one and only HRT Better Riding Day EXTRA for 2015[/FONT].[/FONT]
[FONT="]It?s on the website now, the date is [FONT="]Thursday May 21st 2015[/FONT] and it?s ?235. With only 60 participants, the BRD EXTRA gives you 50% more track-time than our previous BRDs.
The format is the same except there are just 2 Main Groups A & B ? but the great thing is that your mini-group Instructor stays with you all day and so has much more time for YOU.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I?m also fixing dates for some Advanced Machine Skills Courses to be published soon.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Here?s hoping the BRD EXTRA is received well, and we?ll carry on from there with another one next year and so-on until I can?t get my leg over any more![/FONT]
