Is there anything I can do to get ready for the event?

If you haven’t ridden your dual sport or adventure type bike lately... dig it out and spend some time riding around. It is also helpful to be in good physical condition so if you’re used to sitting behind a desk or in a low activity environment get out and spend some time being physical before your class.
