Being new to Enduro, I was looking for some pointers in the right direction. The TORC training day came just at the right time.

It was well organised & started off with some quick nutritional & Enduro tips, then on to the bikes & off to a forest trail to assess the group. Here the group of 20 was split down to 2 groups of 10 with 3 instructors per group, so the instructors can really assess each rider.

We were then given some pointers & a demo run on what we should be doing. Then it was back onto the trail to see if we could put the advice into practice. If you were unsure of anything or had any other questions you could ask any of the instructors at any time during the day.

We then made our way onto some hills, of all terrain & again were advised on body position, throttle control & techniques for hills, and then we tried to put them into practice. We also covered downhill, tree ruts & logs. With the correct techniques it made it a lot better & easier than it had been before I'd started the day!

It was great value for money as it was a full day of training & was well worth it due to techniques learned which would make it easier in the future.
