I think that the ultimate compliment which I've heard about Roadcraft-trained riders is how effortless they make riding look, irrespective of speed. "Making progress" whilst looking totally at ease is a real joy to behold.<br /><br />Initially joining IAM or requesting an initial assessment does offer some very real challenges. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, ego getting in the way can all be present in the same rider in varying degrees - they certainly were present in me before I joined! It's only after one or two runs with an Observer that you realise that you're not going to get ridiculed and that the no-ego culture is the perfect opportunity for learning. I guess that's the message which need communication to people who are thinking about joining up.<br /><br />As always, a very honest and perceptive post.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.com
