Any coaching suggestions to make sure she's as ready as possible to absorb CSS?
Great! Look forward to seeing you in March in Vegas and at the Ridge in July! Wooohooo!!

As for your other half, seat time and practice is good. Visual skills are pretty important so try to have her look where she wants to go and avoid looking down at the front tire, which is a common mistake of new riders. Also being smooth with the throttle.

What do you think are some things that you would feel confident teaching her?

Should be a super fun year!!
