Just got back from 3 weeks in Colorado at Barnett's. Awesome course. Way better than anything I've taken here in Calgary. We thoroughly covered everything you can think of on a bike and were tested throughout the weeks. The tests were time based and of course how well you did the work. I did 2 weeks of Advanced mechanics and 3 days of suspension. It's crazy how much easier it is to service rock shox than fox. Two completely different approaches to suspension. Colorado Springs is a pretty nice place. Expensive though. $20US with tip for a burger and a good local craft beer. Hotel was reasonable though, since I had the Barnett discount at the hotel. Wheel building was a lot of fun too. Their approach to wheel building was fool proof.
