So7nds to me like you are a newbie at MC track day. If that were the case, i would recommend you to do some local events at the Pitt Meadows / JIBC Integrated Training center first before heading down to the Ridge.

I no longer ride, so I am not intimately familiar with the details, but i know there is a group that regularly host MC mini "track day" events at the Pitt Meadow pad for a modest amount - i think it is only around $100 for a full day stint, and less for a half day thing. The good things about this local event are:

- it's cheap
- it's close
- it's your first time
- the pad is HUGE on a bike
- the pad is flat

That last point is the single biggest reason i think Pitt Meadows is more appropriate for you at this point. The Ridge has tons of elevation changes that makes te track immensely fun, at the same time, that correspondingly requires more riding skills. With you not having any prior MC track day experience, i am not sure if you have developed those skills yet.
