Here in Cincinnati, we put on a separate Road 1 just for our Ride Leaders of the Cincinnati Cycle Club. It helps with insurance and liability. Like Mr. Silver said, EVERYONE needs a refresher course every now and then even if you're a ride leader. As an LCI, I find it frustrating that some "older than dirt" type people grump at my helpful and constructive criticism on a ride. They've been riding longer than I've been alive which MUST mean they know more than I do (or so they think). As a ride leader for the CCC, it's my duty to keep everyone safe.

Maybe the class you saw listed was for the ride leaders of the club.

Glad Silver became an LCI and glad you made SilverSon go. It's a worthwhile class.
