My girlfriend has a daughter in Corvallis, so I'm sure we'll be your way a few times this summer. Anytime you guys come this way let us know! I really liked the Team Oregon courses and I have some comments on ART, not negative but observations.

A coworker asked me about the RSP and after my spiel he inquired about receiving a plaque or getting something for taking the course!?! I assured him that he would receive professional training and acquire improved riding skills... he still wanted a plaque.

Been off the bike more or less since 2012, and won't be riding much this year either. When I do venture out it's wonderful to ride, but many of little things (and big things, like cornering) just aren't up to par. And sadly somethings get forgotten after a while.
