The following description was provided by Michael Nelson nelson@seahunt.imat.com
Several folks have expressed their interest in attending, but what we need for you to do now is to CONFIRM via E-mail or_ telephone to Dr. Wong's office in Redwood City if you're planning on attending._
The phone number at the office is 1-650-365-7775.
The clinic will meet at (of all places) a clinic... ;-)
We'll meet at 8AM at: Active Life Medical Center
1391 Woodside Road,
Suite 200
Redwood City, CA 94061
Please be gassed up and ready for a three hour ride after the one hour seminar._ We won't be stopping for a snack until about 10 am, so if you get hungry before that time of the day either bring a snack with you or eat before you arrive.
You can gas up before the clinic at any of the numerous gas stations on Woodside Road where the clinic is._
Dr. Harry Wong, a prominent Redwood City chiropractor and extremely knowledgeable sport rider, has started a monthly series of Motorcycle Riding Clinics. These seminars are FREE, and consist of a one hour lecture followed by a three hour group ride in the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains.
PURPOSE: Enhance your riding skills, increase your enjoyment, and learn better riding survival reflexes.
COST: FREE
TYPE OF MOTORCYCLE:_ If it has 2 wheels and a motor, you're invited.
SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED: Since these are not fast sport rides, any reasonably competent rider should be able to participate._ We recommend that you be comfortable with your bike and knowledgeable about your (and your bike's) limitations and capabilities._ If you have been riding for at least six months you've probably got the minimum level of expertise required._ The bottom line is that if you can safely negotiate the mountainous roads off Skyline Blvd, then you do have the minimum skills for the ride.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: A motorcycle in good mechanical condition, helmet, gloves, heavy jacket (leather or heavy material), heavy pants, boots... in other words, sensible riding attire._ If you show up in shorts, tank top, Oakley blades and flipflops on your feet, you _may_be invited to go home._ You must also have a valid motorcycle license and insurance._ Full leathers are encouraged.
RIDING LOCATION: Any and all backroads off Skyline Blvd, along thecoast, Highway 9, etc.
HOW TO REGISTER: E-mail Dr. Wong at DOCWONG@AOL.Com or call (650) 365-7775.
TIMES: Sunday mornings, 8:00AM to 9:00AM for the workshopwith approximately 4 hours riding afterwards._ Lunch in Davenport at 12noon._ We're usually done at 2:30pm with a short talk on Skyline Blvd (Hwy 35) and Hwy 9.
WHO: Dr. Harry Wong, with guest ride leaders, and who knows?
WORKSHOP FORMAT: The one hour talk will cover one major topic._ Then when we ride, we ride with the emphasis of applying the principles of that one topic.
We split the riders into groups of around 10 riders each, according to what_ YOU think your riding skill level is._ The first group will_ generally ride at a faster pace and the last group riding at the slowest pace.
You can ride at a slower pace, you don't need to feel like you have to keep up with the riders in front of you.
We'll have volunteer ride leaders leading you on the route thru the hills._ Those riders will be designated to you prior to beginning the ride._ As volunteer riders, they are often very willing to help you in any way they can._ So feel free to ask them questions on riding, the route, etc._
It's important to approach this whole thing with the right attitude.
If one of the volunteer ride leaders talks to you, it's meant to be constructive criticism and should be taken that way._ After all, the purpose of the Clinics is to improve your skills.
We try to ride at a moderate pace, and we hold the speed down on the straights to allow slower riders to catch up._ We stop at any intersection where we're turning off to another road and we don't continue until everyone has arrived.
We'll try to make rest stops long enough so that the slower riders will get a rest, too.
