Felix Akuoko

These guys are AMAZING! They aim to train you past the point of which you’ll be tested and they are genuinely very supportive and fun. They clearly Love what they do and what to help make people better riders. I am very grateful for your patience, stern words at times (I can hear you in my head at times) and the laughs during downtime. I look forward to seeing you again when I’m ready to do an advanced rider course. Word to the wise. Make sure you buy a Highway Code Handbook and read it, use it to go over day to day scenarios to go through. Ride safe and best of luck to anyone using this to decide if you want to use CamRider Lee Valley to train you up. Trust the process and listen to Richard and Chris they know what they’re talking about.🍻 Cheers Gents
