Six NCCC Smart Cyclists take the road

[karlos]

Six members took advantage of the streamlined Smart Cycling course recently. Some of them took it to serve as ride leaders as well. Since all are experienced riders, they earned their diploma with about 2 hours online on their own time, a one hr Zoom to go over some local and group specifics, with the road session and drills running only 3 hours on a Sunday - no Saturday ride interruption to students or instructors. Bob Hanlon and I may offer this again in the future to get even more NCCC members on board (currently about 20% of NCCC have gone through the course).

Congratulations Pat Murray, Cody Barnes, Frank Wheeler, Howard Garfinkel, Melonee Levine, Rob Brown!

Just to be clear. The reference that Steve gives through the SD County Bike Coalition is for the full 9 hr course given by Pete Penseyres and Howard Lagrange in Oceanside. It is still a great course but many people have trouble with the time commitment and there is fluff in there that is wasted time for experienced riders. Nevertheless, I took the full 9 hrs and got a lot out of it. If people are interested in a repeat of the streamlined NCCC version, we may offer it again if there is a demand for it. Two ways to skin the cat.
