      Preparation

      We strongly encourage you to do some light stretches and hydrate as you begin preparing for your course. 

      Flat track and off-road riding require the use of your thigh and hip muscles and if you stretch in advance of your camp, you will greatly benefit.  We will ride approximately five hours per day so plan on being a bit tired when you leave in the evening.

      To maximize your Mystery School experience, we strongly recommend that you arrive the evening prior to your course, eat a healthy dinner and get plenty of rest.
