Calabogie roll call Spet 14-15th and gearing suggestion

[gsxr guy]

I can post the full video from the training sessions:

1. Missed the first session of the day due to going over the track map/layout, tricky bits, "classroom" stuff, make sense, no problem with that.
2. Our first "training" session was red flagged in the middle of the 2nd lap, waited on track while guy was air lifted, session over.
3. Our instructor Matt went out in red group (the group before our next training session) and broke his bike in half so they had to find a new instructor for us.
4. Our new instructor was late getting ready (understandable), so there were only a few laps left in the session. We spent most of the time staying out of the way of the other riders, not learning the race line or braking points, etc.

Then it was lunch time, training over At no time in our training did we exceed 40km/h (that's an exaggeration but not far off).

Had I have known I coulda done some one on one (I didn't think so cause our instructor was out of action and they had trouble finding a replacement, so didn't think there were extra trainers on hand) I probably would have went that route.

Like I said, not much they could do/control, was just a cluster **** from the start.

That totally sucks dude. Hopefully you'll get a crash free day next time.

That was bad luck and not a reflection of the program.

Let me tell you my first day at Mosport

They Let the Red Group first and then yellow so the instructor went over the track lines during that time and we were ready to go out when the green group was up, we probably lost 1 lap.

He took us around the track for the session at a very comfortable speed ensuring to take the right lines so we learned. He also kept looking back to see how people were progressing and I am guessing to gauge rider experience, he also rode behind us for a bit

Once the session was over we gather around the track layout for 5 more min and did a small debrief. I asked him if I was to still follow him for the next session or If i could go on my own, he said i was alright to go on my own.

Some of the other guys and girls went out with him again on the second session and by the end they were going at a good pace and that was their last supervise session

Thanks man. I don't hold anything against Pro6 or Calabogie, **** happens, just not usually all in one day, lol.

Yeah, I got no issues with them. Sometimes it's just not their/your day

Let me tell YOU about my first time at Mosport...
First session, green group, the "lead" rider took me around for two laps and booked it after that.
They were supposed to do 1 lap, exit the track and complete the rest of the session with you.
I was totally lost and had the track to myself for 1 full lap after the checkered flag because I didn't know where the exit was.

I would totally pay the $30 to have someone lead me around for 2 sessions.

Where's my $30?

They didn't go over the track layout on the big *** map before hand?

Also didn't they covered exit protocol at the riders meeting, where they mention how to properly exit after the back straight

Weird

$30 is not enough in your case... I definitely owe you big time!

I'm very attentive during the rider's meeting and I heard no mention of the exit.
Maybe I missed that part?
There was no map either...

Sorry. I take the full blame on that one. lol.

Do you know who I'm talking about?
