SeasonedRider Safety Workshop, Sunday, March 20

By Bob Leitch

Motorcycle riding requires concentration, balance, and the ability to make quick decisions. The effects of aging can be factors that contribute to crashes. Our next safety workshop is the SeasonedRider, with a goal to acquaint participants with the general effects of aging on the skills necessary to ride safely and share actions and ideas that lead to increasingly safe and responsible motorcycling. The workshop is an interactive and fun session, not a boring safety lecture. The session will last approximately 90 minutes.

Contact Bob Leitch to register. Registration closes March 16. Coffee and refreshments will be served. The session will take place on Sunday, March 20 at 10:00 AM at the National Little League Park clubhouse. If you have previously indicated a desire to attend this workshop, I would appreciate another e-mail to confirm.
