Ride Forever. It’s all in the name.

Ride Forever is a series of courses catering for motorcycle riders, of all levels; Gold, Silver and Bronze.

They are taking place in Amberley on Saturday March 6, Sunday March 7 and Saturday March 13, and in Culverden on Saturday April 10, Saturday April 17 and Saturday April 24.

All courses are free, funded by ACC.

The Hurunui district has an abundance of superb options for those wanting to take to the open roads on their two wheeled friends.

Dan and Hollie Ornsby of Ornsby Motorcycle Training have a team of highly experienced passionate instructors who want to help riders get more from their ride while riding defensively and incident free. For example, being prepared for anything and able to avoid potentially undesirable situations.

Dan Ornsby, head instructor, said even Gold (advanced) level riders will gain a lot from the day.

“My work is about ensuring riders can be at one with their bike which makes riding much more enjoyable, while also knocking off any bad habits they may have picked up over the years.”

Dean Eades, Road Safety Coordinator at Hurunui District Council, said it’s not just motorcycle riders these courses benefit, but the whole community.

“It also benefits riders’ friends and families, who can be assured their loved ones will have the necessary skills to keep as safe as possible on our roads.”

Even though these courses are being run locally, they have a national effect as the graduates of these courses ride around the country being better, safer riders.

“Spreading the courses throughout the district gives even more of our people the opportunity to better themselves in their riding skills.”
