All of our courses are held at our Fair Oaks campus, located at Fair Oaks Mall, Fairfax, VA. (See here) The address to put in your GPS system is 11993 Fair Oaks Mall, Fairfax, VA 22033. We are outside the road that rings the mall opposite Macys and J.C. Penney. Park in the covered lot adjacent to the range area. What's the difference between Range A and Range B? Not much. They are both in the same large parking lot, side-by-side. The designation of A & B is more of an internal designation for planning. How do I decide with course to take based on my skill level?

For the Basic Rider Course and Headstart you must ride the our training motorcycle (or scooter) unless pre-approved per state rules. For all other courses, you may choose to ride your motorcycle. It must pass our safety review and you must show a current inspection sticker, proof of insurance, and title to the motorcycle. The course price will remain the same. If you choose to ride your motorcycle, you are not locked in to that. You may always switch to our training motorcycle which will be readily avialable during your course. The Road Kings and scooters are reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis. What happens if it rains? For our group classes we train rain or shine, so bring your rain gear with you. If there is lightning or dangerously high winds, we will clear the training site and gauge the weather. We have the luxury of postponing or rescheduling individual training if the weather will interfer. What do I need to bring to class? While on the range, BRC students must wear sturdy long pants (no yoga, scrubs or work out pants), a long-sleeved shirt or jacket, and footwear that covers the ankle (riding boots are preferred—absolutely no sneakers), a DOT approved helmet, eye protection ,and full-fingered gloves (no cut-out fingers). MRC can provide a helmet, eye-protection, and gloves, or you may bring your own. Requirements for all other classes are the same as the BRC except you may wear your DOT approved 1/2 helmet and we do not require long sleeves or gloves. You should bring snacks, if you wish, and drinks. We provide plain ol' water. Is MRC part of the Virginia Rider Training Program? Yes, MRC is affiliated with the Virginia Rider Training Program. Successful completion of our Basic Rider Course (BRC) or Basic Rider Course 2 - License Waiver (BC2-LW) exempts you from the Virginia DMV written and riding skills test. The DC DMV recognizes the Virginia DMV Completion certificate and MSF Completion certificate, however you are required to take and pass their written test. Read more here.
