"PMT was awesome! I’ve been riding a few years and still learned so much! Mark and Zack are great teachers! They explained everything very well and made sure everyone understood. I’ll be going back to the intermediate class and talked one of my friends into going also, definitely worth it. Hopefully I’ll get mark and Zach as instructors again! 🤘"

"This was a great experience. I'd never even been on a bike before and by the end of day two I could actually manage the bike and learned so much. The instructors were amazing, informative, patient, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend."

- Erin Mcclure, February 2025

"Taking this class made me so much more comfortable on a bike then I previously was. After taking the online courses and the driving classes I learned more and felt more confident. The instructor was clear and helpful, wasn't afraid to answer our questions."
