Bruce, are you the only certified instructer offering this course in Wake County? Any chance this will be offered in Raleigh this year?

Welcome to Triangle Cycling!

[Bruce Rosar]

Bruce, are you the only certified instructer offering this course in Wake County?Using the League's "Find It" page (http://www.bikeleague.org/cogs/resources/findit/index.php), a search for instructors within 20 miles of Raleigh shows:
Phoebe Coggins Raleigh, NC.
Richard Fredenburg Garner, NC.
Bruce Rosar Cary, NC.
Steven Goodridge Cary, NC.
As far as I know, none of those other instructors are currently offering courses to the public.
Any chance this will be offered in Raleigh this year? There's always a chance, but we'd have to find a suitable classroom in a good location and then get at least five cyclists to put down a deposit. Details available upon request.

Phoebe Coggins is Kevin Coggins' wife. They own The Spin Cycle in Cary, so I would guess that if she did offer a course, it would be from the shop.
