About Traffic Skills 101
TS 101 is a day long course consisting of approximately 4 hours in class and 4 hours outside, split between skills drills and an on-road ride.  Among other things, you will practice starting, stopping, shifting and scanning, learn how to ride in traffic, including proper lane and intersection positioning, and crash avoidance techniques.  You will practice all that you learn on a ride through the streets of Hartford.  Successful completion of this course is a prerequisite for taking the League Certified Instructor course.

A minimum of 10 registrants is needed for the course to be held.  Class size is limited to 20, so register early!
