Eden Pro Rider Training, offering high quality Motorcycle Training, is located in Penrith, Cumbria on the edge of the Eden Valley and to the west of the Pennines which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.  We are ideally situated with easy access to the Northern Lakes, South West Scotland, The Borders, Northumbria, North Yorkshire and County Durham.

For many years, both Cumbria and the Eden Valley have featured highly with motorcyclists locally and nationally.  Numerous reviews have highlighted this area, especially Hartside (A686) as a "top rated ride" in the UK and Western Europe. Those challenging roads, scenic views and varied rides are all within our training area.  In the south of the county, "Devils Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale" (A65) provides a stop off point and time for that well earned break and refreshment.

Keswick, Kendal, Carlisle and West Cumbria provide essential town and city defensive
commuter riding experience, linking into the main roads which further enhance open road riding skills.

We offer a variety of courses from the new DSA Enhanced Rider Scheme leading to a Rider Competency Certificate and potential for reduced insurance renewal premiums upon its production.  Advanced rider training to the Institute of Advanced Motorists and RoSPA standards are available, leading to the respective bodies advanced test.

With ever increasing leisure activity and popularity of motorcycling nationally, together with those riders who return to biking after a "lay off " period, we offer an opportunity to have your riding assessed by a professional and complete a programme of re-skilling to modern day machines.  Developing riding techniques, highlighting current dangers and trends equipping the rider with "live to ride, ride to live" skills.

We have access to local accommodation, should you require us to assist you in booking, please ask.

Eden Pro Rider Training is owned and
operated by John Forrester, a retired police officer, having served 29 years mainly within traffic policing and a keen motorcycle
enthusiast.

Having qualified as a police advanced
motorcyclist, he is able to use his experience and training to develop other riders observations, planning, skills and handling - all essential to coping with our currently heavily congested roads infrastructure.

Motorcycling is all about freedom but daily dangers exist and bikers are all too often
injured or worse.  We aim to provide essential skills to reduce the risk to you and your pillion so you can enjoy the freedom of the roads with confidence with your newly acquired riding skills.

Having completed a Police Advanced Motorcycle Course, I hold both IAM and RoSPA Gold certificates.  I also examine riders taking the RoSPA Bronze, Silver and Gold Certificates.

Eden Pro Rider Training is DSA approved to deliver the Enhanced Rider Scheme and Certificate.  My riding standard & experience, coupled with safety, are the main priorities and form the basis for all course options.
