| What time do I have to be there? |
| Course joining times are detailed in your joining instructions, but as a rule of thumb, try and turn up around 15 minutes before course start time, this allows us to complete administration before the course starts.

| What happens when the weather is bad? |
| Unless the conditions are dangerous, We get to experience another aspect of real life riding - adverse weather conditions!
