MTB Training

I'm thinking of doing a course with Tony (Jedi) Doyle, mid week, mid December for £75 in Hertford. Anyone fancy joining me? A quick Google shows him to be one of the UKs leading trainers. If we get a group of 4 or more together we can do a private course for £85 (each).

What do you think?

Hi Alan,

I've read a lot of good reports about this guy on the Singletrack forum.

I'd be interested if we could get a few more of the guy's together for a private course.

I know he also does courses at Woburn, jump park apparently

Darren

I did a course with him about 18 months ago, round Woburn. Definitely worth the cash, we spent most of the day working on one section of downhill singletrack (leading into the jump park), working on drops, cornering, weight distribution etc. I wasn't massively interested in jumps so we didn't really spend much time on that. I'm definitely smoother, faster and safer as a result, and that's after having been MTBing for over 20 years.

I'm definitely interested in a skills course with Jedi.

Thats 3 of us, me (AlanS), Zebardy and Darren. A course for 3 is £100 each. If we can find one more person then a course for 4 is £85 each.

Remember the course has to be mid week! Im thinking of mid December, but if we dont book soon it may have to be January.

Any one else interested?

I'm up for this.
Better if it's after the 12th Dec for me.
Spare place in my car too.

Fantastic. So theres Bert, Zebardy, Darren and me (Alan). I will try to book this for during the week commencing 12th December. Are there any days/dates you guys cannot make?

Remember - there are still more places so others are welcome.

yep, that week could be difficult for me. Definitely can't do the 14th/15th off the top of my head.

Ive just spoken to Tony, he has the 12th, 13th & 16th free and will try to hold these open for a few days.

Can you all let me know which days you CAN do, and your preferred date. I can do any of the 3 dates and would prefer Friday 16th, but dont really mind.

Also, Tony no longer uses Woburn so we will have to go to his place in Hertford, but I think it will be good to go somewhere thats been specially built for this.

Alan

13th or 16th for me pleeze....
Friday 16th is preferable for me too.
Rob.

Hi Alan,

Friday 16th would be better for me as well please

Darren

A great start to Christmas

Tony will email me his bank account details and I will PM them to you all.

Ill post more details as i get them.

If anyone else wants to join just let me know and Ill send you the details. £85 each.

Cheers, Alan

Appologies, date is Friday 16th

Hi Alan

Count me in too if there is space.

Raj

Good to have you Raj. Thats 5 of us. I was told that if we are six or more of us Tony would bring along an assistant instructor.

If anyone else is thinking of coming, could you please let me know ASAP as i guess Tony will need a reasonable amount of notice to organise his assistant.

Gary - are you gonna join us? (sorry, dont know yr username or I'd PM you).


Oh boy, the Forrest Of Dean was SO boggy tonight, my poor mech.
But my 900 lumen lights from Deal Extreem were fantastic. And only £28 each (bars & lid).

Hi Alan,

Any chance you could bring your lights along on Sunday for me to take a look at?.

They sound to good to be true

Darren

Sorry, wont be there this Sunday, but will try to remember lights next Sunday

Hi, Ive PM'd Tonys details now.

Please could you put the word Cyclone in either your payee name or description

Tony did say that more are welcome!

Thanks, Alan

Hope you guys enjoy it. Can't believe it's nearly two years now since I did my day with Tony.

And he remenbers you!!

Hi Alan,

I have just joined the forum.
Are you out this Sunday?
What are people going to want to focus on with Tony i.e jumps or single track?
Gary ( carbon 456)

Hi Gary, a bit of both, but Tony will want to check out our riding posture and style first and correct where we are going wrong. He wants to make sure we have the basice down and then move onto stuff like takeing jumps, drops in our stride rather than having to slow down and roll over them.

You thinking of joining us?

Looking forward to this on Friday ... even tho the weather forecast says 0 degrees and snow! Does everyone know where they are going, and does anyone want to share lifts over from mk?

We're going to be cold guys, but its going to be great!

I live in Luton so I will go alone.

Tony emailed me today saying we are starting at 10. I suggested some of us might get there early for a bit of a ride around but he replied back advising not to as we would just be burning up energy that we will need on the day.

Im gonna aim to get there around 9:45 though.

A part of me wants it to snow

Guys, remember the gate code is 1996
