Additional discounts are available for participating Young Riders. Hotel, commute costs, airfares, meals etc. are the financial responsibility of the host.
Tentative agreed dates are secured with a $200 deposit, which is fully-refundable if Paul and Nikki have to cancel for any reason and an alternative date cannot be agreed.

A unique clinic style with both Nikki and Paul instructing in concert is available for the advanced rider and/or riders used to taking instruction who may benefit from the additional input. While less advanced riders are usually taught by Paul, who offers much diplomacy and kindness of course.
