A colleague of mine has decided to start riding and is looking for a place near his home in Newbury Park. Close by, he's got Romford, Barking, Gants Hill, etc.

Can anybody recommend a school?

He's 24, so are we right in thinking he can ride whatever he wants after passing the test?

Thanks.

I did my training with them 15 years back when they were CSM. Didn't realise they were still there.

Thanks. My colleague has now contacted them; first availability for lessons is in two weeks. Does £650 for CBT & DAS sound OK?

Sounds abit steep, place near me - in Telford, offers CBT for £80 and 4day DAS with Test and if you fail first time, free entry on the 2nd for £400 so that is £480 for the CBT and DAS

Telford will be a fair bit cheaper than Romford. Wink
