Training
groups vary from 2 to 10 riders at a time
Levels 6 to 10 incur no course
fees. African Long Distance merely audits your off road touring
which is for the rider's own account
Training
days start at 8:30am and run most of the day depending on the
content (usually 4:30pm).
The
unique African Long Distance log book is a document that is used
to audit a riders development from novice to veteran. The
creation and recognition of a Long Distance motorcycling
elite is an important element for aspiring novice riders as they
enter the sport.
