About your class:

The RiderCourse is designed to be quite enjoyable. The primary concerns in this course are your safety and learning.  That is a responsibility shared by everyone. Ridercoaches will facilitate your development by using interactive classroom activities.  On the range, you will be coached in a way that guides your development in acquiring basic motorcycle maneuvering skills. You are not competing with anyone else in this course, so focus on your own learning and experience. To successfully complete the course, you must complete the following: 1) attend all sessions, 2) achieve a minimum score on a knowledge test covering course material, and 3) achieve a passing score on a riding-skill evaluation.

Thank you for choosing Cascade Motorcycle Safety, we look forward to riding with you.
