WHAT IS AN OPEN RIDE DAY?
Open Ride Days are designed for you to enjoy Luddenham Motorsport Park!
The days are great for bike testing, shakedowns or for simply getting out on your bike and getting some track time by yourself or with friends and family.
You get to ride at your own pace and explore the upper limits of your bike. Laps are electronically timed, and can be viewed on the phone app “SpeedHive by Mylaps” or on the HDTV display in the center.
You get to choose what group you go in, and there are five levels to choose from, and also a private Rider Mentor class capped at 10 riders for more leaning / development of your skills.
