I took this class last Sunday and have to say it is a real eye opener and must for anyone that uses the mountains for recreation. Looking back I have placed my friends and family in many dangerous situations. I know I will ride smarter with the knowledge gained from this class. Micheal is a excellent instructor. A big thanks to Mick and Micheal and the others that put this class together. Please contact Mick as I know if he has enough demand he will put on more classes. Chris
