Andy.... .....what's good about the CSS level one is that for most of the sessions, you run in one gear and do not use brakes... What this does is allow you to get very confident in your own ability and bike without any peer pressure or egos getting involved. You start very slowly and gradually build up during the sessions and find yourself going surprisingly quickly without using brakes - you'll surprise yourself. Its confidence that I gained from the CSS that I would promote as being the most valuable. Enjoy - Tim |
