• Favorite Ride:  Long distance journeys with loved ones or friends...where we steal away for 2-3 weeks exploring this magnificent, majestic & diverse country of ours!

• Most Memorable Student:  The book that had been misjudged by his cover for most of his life.  More of an independent spirit than a trouble maker, this youn man was all business when it came to learning to ride responsibly.  Having been told most of his life that he wasn't good enough, he began to wonder if it was true early in the first day of riding.  He heled me to see the truth in the saying "never judge a book by its cover" and I helped him to see the truth about himself...he passed the class with flying colors, a big smile and a lot more convidence.

• Why I Teach:  After I took the class as a refresher I thought it was such a good class I wanted to share it with others.  When I saw the look on the faces of the students in my first class go from fear and apprehension to that big ole grin from ear to ear after they passed, I was hooked!
• Most Memorable Student:  There are many.  I can't remember names but there was one fellow that I was not so sure about however, by the end of class he was one of our best riders.  He taught me a lot...never underestimate your students.
