I wanted to thank you very much for the two day course, which I found to be highly instructive and also very enjoyable. Not only did I feel that my riding and road-wareness had greatly improved, but it was also a pleasure to ride around some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain, in good company, on possibly the last two completely sunny days in the year!
Many thanks for all your patience and help, and my warmest regards to your family.
Let's keep in touch, maybe I'll be needing a top-up course next summer |

Advanced 1 day Workshop - September 2006 |

That day I made huge improvements by my own standards. Even in the car I find that I am studying corners and gathering data about them in the new ways you have shown me, practicing this observation for when I'm on the bike. The racing line is history too, your technique is far superior for making progress.
I feel like I've been "tuned".
Something which may be useful for feedback. In the
morning, I rode like an amateur. Certainly with
significantly more tension than my normal riding. The
combination of A. being watched by a stranger,
B. that person being a policeman and C. being filmed, was
pretty nerve wracking! It could be that a lot of my
improvement in the PM may well be down to the fact that I
had got to know you and I had relaxed.
This could very well be that I'm simply trying to
justify things to myself - what the Americans call
denial, Of course the truth will be in the DVDs. Can't
wait to see them. But the thing I'm trying to say - the
feedback part - is that it was my self consciousness
that caused this, not any sense of intimidation. You're
an easy-going chap with a friendly manner which put me
at ease and the whole day was very enjoyable.

Quick note Nigel to say that the DVD's all play fine, the split screen one
looks very good although I've not been able to watch it properly yet.
Finally managed to get out on Sunday - I'm still grinning now. Had a brilliant
run, went along many of the roads we did and could hear you all the way!! I
felt so much more at ease hardly dabbed the brakes at all (at least I don't
think I did) and just enjoyed it so much more ... thank you. |

Just found time to fire off a few words. Thank you for a great day and
although it was only half a day it was still I felt very intensive. As a
result I feel my cornering has improved and my general forward observation
skills have improved too by looking further ahead and planning for bends
etc.
I went out for a one on one session with an IAM observer last Sunday
evening and following the ride he informed me that he would be
recommending to the chief observer that I should be put forward for the
exam immediately. I do feel more confident and in control and I can read
bends better.
You have inspired me Nigel to want to learn more with a view to one
day going into instruction.

A short note to thank you for a truly excellent learning experience
yesterday. As I reflect on the impact of the course, I am clear that the
areas of guidance and improvement will not only impact upon my riding, but
also upon my confidence.
Thank you for providing such an enjoyable and high quality day.
Much appreciated.
