The Two-up ERC (Experienced Rider Course) for March 25th is full. There are no more openings for that class. There is another Two-up ERC on March 26th. This class still has 2 or 3 openings if there are any interested Riders/Co-Riders. These ERC courses are taught by MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) instructors and can be taken by single Riders (One-up) or Rider/Co-Rider (Two-up) participants.

The March 25th class will start on Friday, March 24th at 6:15 p.m., Buckley Air Base, (north entrance). There will be two (2) hours of classroom study involving slides, videos, and lecture/discussion. The class will re-convene Saturday, March 25th, 7:45 a.m., Buckley Air Base (north entrance). There will be two (2) more hours of classroom, one (1) hour of co-rider seminar, and six (6) hours of range (riding through exercises). The class will end somewhere around 5:00 p.m.

The March 26th class will start on Sunday, March 26th at 7:45 a.m., Buckley Air Base (north entrance). There will be four (4) hours of classroom study involving slides, videos, and lecture/discussion, one (1) hour of co-rider seminar, and four (4) hours of range (riding through exercises).

NOTES: This course will be most advantageous if the rider has at least one (1) year of riding experience. THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.

A single rider CAN take this ERC. There is no requirement to have a co-rider.
The same range exercises are used that are required in the One-up ERC.
However, if you normally ride Two-up, this training will offer the greatest benefit if a co-rider is included.
