January 07, 2012 – Are you finding it harder and harder to keep up with your race training schedule? Do you still want to be involved with the cycling scene even though you can’t devote as many hours as you could when had a bunch a free time? Are you planning on organizing a race? Are you part of a club? Then becoming a Road Commissaire might be for you.
The OCA will be holding courses in February and March to train new Commissaires in the road discipline. This two-day course introduces you to the rules of the sport and how to effectively apply them in a race situation. This knowledge is useful for anyone who:
– Races competitively
– Organizes road events
– Manages a team
– Helps run a club
– Coaches riders
– Is a parent of a developing rider
– Wants to become an official
If you want to become a Team Manager or a Race Director, this course is mandatory in order to receive the licence code necessary for those roles. Also, clubs that have trained Commissaires in their membership benefit immensely.
