Harry Wong, a prominent Redwood City chiropractor and extremely
knowledgeable s****t rider, is holding a monthly series of
MotorcycleRiding Clinics. These seminars are FREE, and consist of a
one hour lecture followed by a three hour group ride in the beautiful
Santa Cruz mountains.
The Doc Wong Riding Clinics are now in it's 15th year!
PURPOSE: Enhance your riding skills, increase your enjoyment, and
learn better riding survival reflexes.
TYPE OF MOTORCYCLE: If it has 2 wheels and a motor, you're invited.
SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED: Since these are not fast s****t rides, any
reasonably competent rider should be able to participate. We
recommendthat you be comfortable with your bike and knowledgeable
about your(and your bike's) limitations and capabilities. If you have
been riding for at least six months you've probably got the minimum
level ofexpertise required. The bottom line is that if you can safely
negotiate the mountainous roads off Skyline Blvd, then you do have the
minimum skills for the ride.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: A motorcycle in good mechanical condition,
helmet,gloves, heavy jacket (leather or heavy material), heavy pants,
boots...in other words, sensible riding attire. If you show up in
shorts, tanktop, Oakley blades and flipflops on your feet, you _may_be
invited to go home. You must also have a valid motorcycle license and
insurance. Full leathers are encouraged but not required. You are
responsible for your own safety.
WORKSHOP FORMAT: (Each month is a different riding skills topic)
1. Meet at Doc Wong's Chiropractic oiffice at 9 AM. Park underground
and go upstairs to the office. After signing wavers, Doc Wong gives an
hour lecture on the day's riding topic. He'll also go over Riding
Within Your Abilities, Group Riding, and Road Manners. You'll be
asked to fill out an optional survey for riding feedback and health
issues. Then we will be split up into small groups with ride leader
volunteers to lead you thru the hills.
2. The Ride: You can ride at a slower pace, you don't need to feel
like you have to keep up with the riders in front of you.
We'll have volunteer ride leaders leading you on the route thru the
hills. Those riders will be designated to you prior to beginning
theride. As volunteer riders, they are often very willing to help you
inany way they can. So feel free to ask them questions on riding, the
route, etc.
It's im****tant to approach this whole thing with the right attitude.
If one of the volunteer ride leaders talks to you, it's meant to be
constructive criticism and should be taken that way. After all, the
purpose of the Clinics is to improve your skills.
We try to ride at a moderate pace, and we hold the speed down on the
straights to allow slower riders to catch up. We stop at
anyintersection where we're turning off to another road and we
don'tcontinue until everyone has arrived.
We'll try to make rest stops long enough so that the slower riders
will get a rest, too.
Ride Route: http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=12934
From Dr. Wong's office up Woodside Road, up Kings Mountain Road, down
Tunitas Creek Road and a short stop at the San Gregorio Road. Continue
on Stage Road to the town of Pescadero to Cloverdale, Gazos Creek Road
to Hwy 1. Then down Hwy 1 to Daven****t for lunch. After lunch, it's
south on Highway 1 to Bonny Doone Road, right on Smith Grade to Empire
Grade, down Jamison Creek Road to Boulder Creek, then up Hwy 9 to the
corner of Hwy 9 and Skyline at the rest stop for a final meeting.
After our meeting and bull session, the group breaks up and everyone
is on their own. Hope you can find your way home from there!
