13th & 14th July 2024
In a nutshell – this is a training weekend, stopping just outside Peterborough overnight, returning the
next day.
The weekend will begin on the Saturday morning from Lakeside Services Thurrock, and arrive in
Peterborough Saturday evening. This will be a full day’s riding of approx 160 miles.
Sunday morning after breakfast we will ride back to Thurrock approx. 170 miles (NB this is also a full
day of riding)
The routes offer a mixed variety of roads and will be run on 2 riders to 1 Observer ratio, switching several times on route to allow for adequate training for both riders. We shall be having tea breaks and lunch stops on route (self funded).
The last leg of the route on Sunday will be a group ride using the marker system – finishing just off the
M25.
- This weekend is open to all members of EKAM:
- Whether you’ve just joined EKAM and are actively working with an observer to pass your Advanced Rider Test.
- Whether you’re a long standing member and just want an observer’s opinion of your riding.
- Or you’re considering doing your Masters.
We’re able to cater for all levels and all are welcome.
Two riders are paired for the weekend, but will have different observers through the weekend, which helps give different points of view and keeps the whole event vibrant. On each leg one candidate leads, observer in the middle, second candidate following.
Accommodation & Costs
We shall be staying at the Premier Inn Peterborough (Hampton), and each rider will be responsible for paying and arranging their own accommodation for the evening of Saturday 13th July.
Please DO NOT book a room until you have confirmed with me that we have the space available.
Note the earlier you confirm your space with us the cheaper the rooms will be at the premier inn.
The Premier Inn offers a 2-course meal with a drink and full breakfast for £23.99. Please book this when you book your hotel (We all eat together).
We will be asking for food choices at a later date - so we can pre-order beforehand.
Your Contribution for the Training will be £40.00 per person per day = Total £80.00 . This will have to be paid in advance to the EKAM bank account (Details will be given on confirmation of booking for the weekend).
PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL BE NON-REFUNDABLE unless we can re-allocate your place with another candidate. If you wish to attend please contact
