hi all- i used to be really into riding...rode about 5 yrs street, 10 trackdays, though i've not been in the saddle in about 2-3 yrs, and not track in about 4 years. I was never really that fast, but did do all the studying/reading possible, and knew all of the physics involved in riding well.
since i've moved to a foreign land where the riding season is just way too hot, and the roads suck (not to mention drivers aren't as 'aware' of bikes) i've decided not to get a bike for street riding. however, there is a track about an hour away from me, and there is a few clubs that offer bike rentals and 'instruction'- though i think that just means there's a guy who rides the track and makes sure i'm not too crappy.
the question is- i've been off so long, that will jumping right back into the saddle at the track be fine for me? i'd obviously go to beginners group- and it's not as though i've forgotten how to ride or anything- just want to make sure i wont be in over my head!
