Much to my chagrin I was looking at my calendar today and noticed that the CC Rider class that I was registered for conflicted with 2 classes for school (including the first day) and 2 weekend events that I can’t reschedule. Shit shit shit. k, fine. Called around. Now I’m in another one. September 9, 11, 12. It neatly wraps around my birthday. Happy birthday to me! I will be so fucking tired when I go in for a 7am class after my birthday party, but that is the next possible time for me to do it. I will load up on sleep in advance and just not drink. I will be fine. I function fine on 6 hours as long as I don’t make a habit of it. Now I will only miss one night of class.
It also means no Ren Faire that weekend. but such is life.
Range + Tired = Tough Weekend
The weekend I did the CC rider course KICKED MY ASS.
I’d never piloted a motorcycle by myself before, so there was a huge amount of stuff to remember, none of which was ingrained into muscle memory. It was very challenging and, at times, nerve-wracking. By the end of the first range day, I was exhausted both mentally and physically.
YMMV, of course — just thought I’d mention my experience as a data point. It’s prolly *doable*, but be prepared for it to be a tough weekend. You might want to take along some “quick energy” snacks and things to help keep you going strong.
Re: Range + Tired = Tough Weekend
Thank you very much for the data. I appreciate it.
I get to come home after the first range day and crash really hard. 🙂 That will help for the second day.
