If it were me I'd try to ride instead of auditing. I think riding would be more fun than watching and listening.

I like what Kate said about not going with a chatty buddy- in fact, go alone if you can, it will be easier to focus on what is being taught. I'd jump at the chance to ride in one of Marks clinics without auditing first, just from reading what is said about him and from what he posts on Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-689872777639220238.post-36893355081220761062014-03-06T13:29:23.758-06:002014-03-06T13:29:23.758-06:00Good advice Kate!

Take some notes because you'll be overwhelmed with the information you hear. My advice? Go. And ride. Just do it. The hell with being nervous, I am always nervous before a clinic...but the nerves quickly pass. You are way too busy to be nervous for very long. Seriously.
