Re: [ST] Riding schools

John,

I've taken Keith Code, Reg Pridmore, and Dennis Pegelow's dP Safety 
School. Both Code and Pridmore teach stuff that is valuable on the 
street, with Pridmore's school being more street oriented than 
Code's. Pridmore also runs two groups instead of three, so you get 
more track time for your money. I have an in-depth write-up on my web 
site at:

Pegelow's school is the least valuable of the three for people new to 
tracks, and emphasizes racing lines more than any critical riding 
skills. It is a good school for people who want to go fast, but not 
for people just wanting to learn better street techniques. Pegelow 
does, however, have the best lunches of the three.

You can't go wrong with Code or Pridmore. I've signed up myself and 
my son with both schools this year, and plan to take at least one 
Pegelow school myself this fall.
