The kind that bounces back upright!
Here's your chance to hone your slow speed turn and throttle/clutch control skills!

The only costs will be your time and gas. If you're a newbie, this cone practice will be especially good for you. If you miss this practice, don't worry -- we'll host another next month.

If you want to participate, please:

* Observe common sense and basic safety. So no excessive speeding, showing off or stupid stunts

* Arrive wearing a helmet, full-fingered gloves, and over-the-ankle boots

* Bring your M-1 or bike permit, 'cuz I'm going to ask to see it before we start :)

* Bring liquids and snacks

========

Start Time: 11-ish a.m.
Where: Martinez marina parking lot -- the big one between N. Court St. and Tarantino Dr. (Please see map below.)

========

Note: Rain will not cancel cone practice.

I will be making it to this, the last one was a blast! i encourage everyone to come and improve your slow speed skills or at least brush up on them.

More than likely i will be there a little early because i actually know where the parking lot is (last time i got lost drove all over the place and found like 3 different lots in many different places)

hope to see you guys there!
 
I'm interested but I'm going to have to wait. I can't go on freeways w/ my learners permit. :(
After I get the MSF course successfully under my belt I'll be there though!

Don't suppose you would like to have one in San Diego?

Any chance of doing one of these up in the city , I'd be tottaly down , I may even ride down to martinez
 
I really need to go to one of these. Especially after my low speed fall today (see Pleasanton/Dublin ride in group rides section). Unfortunately, I have to work that day so I'll try my best to make the next one. Looking forward to it!:thumbup

You should really come out when you can. the u-turn practice really really helped in my slow speed turns and i use what i learned last time every day when i come home from work.
