USAC UPGRADE POINTS for active riders - USA Cycling approved giving 2 upgrade points to currently licensed racers (road or track) for Cat 4-3 or 5-4 upgrade for taking the rules and officiating clinic this weekend!
Our local officiating team is actively recruiting new referees/officials to help at events in the Pacific Northwest. It���s always been recommended that each team have a couple of official members in their ranks. It���s a great way to stay involved in the sport, a number of our officials transitioned from racer to officials to stay involved in the sport. I know one of them commuted on his bike to Enumclaw the last couple of years. Our officials help make events happen and play a critical role.
This weekend is your opportunity to become an official, learn the rules from the experts, and understand how things work from an officiating perspective.
