If I had more than 1 track day under my belt, I would consider it.
I really have a lot to learn and from what I hear, Mosport is not a beginner friendly track.
So we'll see, I might ride out on Sunday to spectate and take some pictures of you guys.

Ah, it's easy to get freaked out, but with the right mindset you can ride any track. In green group you can always default to whatever pace you would ride on the street...after a few laps it will be the pace you would ride on the street if you knew exactly what you were going to find around every corner, plus allowing yourself to pin it on the straight....and then you just add a bit more corner speed as you are comfortable, but never to the point where you are uncomfortable. It doesn't have to be scary.

Mosport is fine for beginners. As long as you ride accordingly. There are some fast corners and blind ones. Ride within your abilities. Throttle will just get you into the weeds quicker.

No track is beginner friendly but that is WHY there is a novice group. I spent two years in novice before I moved on and rarely leave the yellow group now with literally thousands of laps under my suit. I know I'm a mid pack rider. Quick sometimes, slower others. But rarely do I get the "oh ****" moments. I usually know exactly what doing. When I have crashed it has been 100% rider ability. My fault.

Come out, have fun and enjoy this track. Just be careful as all of us wanna shoot the **** in the pits after in one piece.

Like the others mentioned, it's fine for even a first timer. Just get out with the control rider, then go have fun at your own pace, like any other track.

I'd like to try mosport but its the $240+$40+$30+hst that's preventing me from going. I can do almost 3 tmp TDs for that price.

TMP may be 2-3x cheaper, but Mosport is like 10x better :p

Calabogie is another must-do. It's worth the drive.

You'll still have fun at TMP, but it doesn't compare to the other two.
