Congratulations to Ron Garrett, newly certified USA Cycling Category A official!

Ron recently spent 3 x 13 hour consecutive days in class before passing the exam, certainly sounds like he was put to the test.

The riders are certainly grateful for Ron’s continued education, thanks again for putting forth all the education efforts (Ron also hosted a Moto Ref clinic in Kettering, OH at the beginning of February).
