October 17, 2006 There will be a USAC Officials
Certification class from 9am – 1pm @ Vestavia Hills Library in B’ham on November
4, 2006. The cost is $40 – pay at the door. There will be an open book
test at the end of the class. If you pass, you will be a Level C certified
United States Cycling Official. Benefits will include: being called to
officiate Road, MTB, Track and Cyclocross events throughout the southeast. From
what I have been told, the event coordinators pay all expenses for you to come
and officiate. If some of you remember, Sylacauga Road Race was cancelled due
to not enough officials.
