OFF ROAD RIDING COURSE

Country Trax, the well-known off-road riding academy, is running another one day introductory course for off-road riding in Aberdeen next Saturday, November 5th. Three qualified instructors will be on hand, including local rider Derick van Rensburg . He is very enthuaistic about the course, and is very much looking forward to sharing his passion for off-road biking with others. The aim of the course is to teach riders to get the most from their bikes, to promote safety and the importance of the correct protective clothing, and most of all to have fun!

The course will be held at van Rensburg’s farm, Wynberg, which is approximately 20 km outside the town, in the Camdeboo. Snacks, cooldrinks and lunch will be provided, and at the end of the day, each participant will receive a certificate. Places are limited to twenty for safety reasons, so anyone interested is advised to book as soon as possible, as the course is already about half full. All riders over the age of sixteen are welcome to attend.

Several of the previous participants have shown interest in learning more, and van Rensburg also hopes to be able to offer the three-day intermediate course in the near future if there is sufficient demand.

The day will start with refreshments at 7.30, with participants taking to their bikes at 8am. The cost for the full day is R790 all inclusive.

Bookings can be made through Country Trax by contacting Celia on 082 895 5009 or email info@bikebookings.co.za

The slogan of Country Trax is “Learn, Conquer, Explore” – this course, judging by the enthusiastic reviews of those who participated in the inaugural session in February, is guaranteed to help participants to do just that!
