    First track school

    Hi Folks,

    I'm approaching my first track experience. I signed up for the Ed Bargy school at TGP in Dec. but due to family probs I had to move the date. So now I'm set to take my Ape Mille to TGP for the Mar. 6/7 two day school. Really looking forward to it, but a bit apprehensive ...

    MrsSeamus and I first took the Ed Bargy course at TGP too (on the older layout).

    It's good course and the track, while short, will still challenge enough to help improve your riding.

    Have fun and remember that even though it's a track school, still ride your own ride.

    Great course. Listen to Ed and feel free to ask questions a lot of the guys on the track. I have been to the one day twice and am thinking of going again. For the first time I think TGP is ideal as there is enough variance in the track to illustrate the lessons without the wild elevation changes of Barber. Enjoy yourself and don't forget to add gas (the one day is so busy it is hard to remember)

    Post up your review.
