This training will give you experience of managing your bike in thick sand and dunes.

You will learn

1. Bike setup for riding in sand
2. Rider position for sand riding
3. Getting going and stopping in thick sand
4. Reading dunes and riding appropriate lines
5. Traversing the dunes

We will meet at the "Atlantis Dunes Permit Office, Atlantis, Cape Town, 7349" (put this into Google Maps), at 8am on Sunday 18 Aug.

The Level 1, 2 and pillion Off Road training is as per BMW standards. We prefer and recommend riders to do Level 1 first and then move to Level 2.  This way we know they have learned the basics.  We recommend riders with a new bike to do a refresher of Lev 1 or 2 depending on their riding abilities as each bike have its own bonding space and dynamics.

Only 1 level can be completed on a day.

We also cater for other brands.  Feel free to invite your friend/s on his Yamaha, KTM, Honda, etc.  

We will cater for a variety of activities in 4 different groups which will rotate.  Our goal is to improve your skills and expose you to several off road conditions.  Each group will have an 1 hour slot and move to the next activity.

After lunch we will entertain you with a gymkhana competition. We encourage you to take part in this event or to join as a spectator.

Costs: (coffee on arrival & lunch included)

R450.00 pp (club members)

R500.00 pp (non club members)
