INSTRUCTOR NEWSLETTER
Let’s Thrive in 2025
There are 4 opportunities to attend a mandatory, paid, 2-hour instructor update this year. Register now.
The first update will be held on your living room couch (aka Zoom) on Thursday, January 23 at 6-8 p.m. Additional updates are in-person at Albany, Oregon City and Medford classrooms on 1/25, 2/8 and 2/22 respectively. If none of the live dates work for you, you can register to watch a video recording.
See the Instructor Resources Calendar for this and other professional development activities (like instructor riding clinics!) planned for 2025.
After several years of testing, On-Road Clinics (ONR) are ready for prime time. The course is four hours and helps riders develop solid curve skills in a group ride setting. Learn more.
We’ll run 6-12 ONRs this year in June, July, August and September starting in Gresham, HIllsboro and Lebanon. What’s more, our partners at Law Tigers Motorcycle Lawyers have bought 48 seats to give away!
We will also three private ONRs for instructors — let me know if you’d like to participate as a student.
Visit the Law Tigers website for your chance to win a free seat in ONR. Instructors are eligible for the drawing … just don’t cancel any teaching assignments, OK?
The Policy Manual has been revised for 2025. You can always find it online to download here — it’s wise to keep a current copy for yourself. This year the changes were minor, so we dispensed with the usual errata sheet.
And remember: On the range, any answers you can’t find in your Range Cards or Policy Manual you can get from On-Call. An On-Call instructor is available every training weekend to provide instructor support. Put them on your speed dial: 888-370-7990 ext. 9.
There will be 14, count ’em, 14 instructor riding clinics March-October 2025. These are excellent opportunities to hone your skills, build your capacity, meet some far-flung teammates and sample our advanced training suite. Plus, we’ll be bringing back the Rider Skills Circuit this year in Albany, Bend, Medford and Oregon City.
Registration opens about one month prior to each course. Don’t be shy — first timers get priority! Find all the deets at Professional Development – Riding Skills.
