Riding Cheddar Gorge | Motorcycle Training - IAM Rider Skills Day Thruxton

Back in July 2017 (before Herman was obliterated by a SMIDSY in South East London) I did some motorcycle training in the form of an IAM Skills Day at Thruxton race circuit. The IAM Roadsmart Rider Skills Days are designed to offer you a practical safe learning environment in which to develop your motorcycle skills and learn new ones. Most of all, they are a LOT of fun.

Myself, Pete and Marcus decided we'd make a trip of it and ride down the day before, sampling some roads along the way to the beautiful Cheddar Gorge for a spot of luncheon. Fed and watered we had a play with the drone, before heading back to the hotel for a good nights kip before the next day's antics.

The IAM Skills Day is based upon the motorcycle bible, the police roadcraft theory, and takes the format of 6 x 20 minute theory inputs in a classroom, where the instructor details a point of learning such as: Vaninshing points, entry/apex/exit points, making safe progress, braking, gear selection, blipping the throttle and throttle sense/use.

After each classrooom session you then hit the track for close supervision under an instructor where you then put that theory into practice in small similarly paced groups.

Folks, it is a LOT of fun and well worth the money. I went expecting a fairly stuffy, slow paced jaunt around the circuit, but instead was faced with a Nurburgring instructor and a few new friends in our group who were what can only be described as 'RAPID'.

As the day progresses and your instructor is satisfied you're not dangerous, overtakes are allowed in places and the fun really begins.

I can't recommend these days enough folks, I'll be doing more next year for sure.
