Colin Cooper did a good job with rider training during the Kaipara 200 event. Like Dean has mentioned, our bikes can be ridden off-road, but there are better options. If you do a training session, but don't follow it up with regular off-road riding you will not be getting the most out of it.In reality most of our riding will be on gravel roads or good tracks. It doesn't take long to get a bit of confidence and improve one's skills. After a few pointers you learn by doing, riding as often as possible. I fully realize that I have started off-road riding too late in life. I will never be able to wheelie and jump around on an off-road bike, like a talented 10 year old. However, I can keep a reasonable pace on a gravel road, while enjoying the scenery. Occasionally I get to scare myself on events like the CCA or on an easy Sunday morning ride across the Old Man Range. It's all good fun.Alex
