can those of you who have done any of these just give me some general opinions on whichever you've done? will spending time at UBI/Barnett's, then working at a shop help with USA Cycling's certification, or would it be better just working in a shop 2yrs then going after USAC cert.?

well considering i just got my certification about oh.......5 hours ago let me give you some advice. shop is better. a lot of it is experience. and knowing racing will help a lot as well. but experience is the best thing. i think you can get basics from the classes, but working in a shop is even better. but i recomend getting it. i learned a lot, and made some good friends in the three days i was there.
USCF cert. it is in colorado springs, CO at the olympic training center. and as i said. that stuff is great fro a little base knowledge. but if you just take a class and then come to this.......you aren;t going to do nearly as well. a lot of it is experience. so i recomend get some solid experience at a good shop with some awesome mechanics and a good amoutn of volume. that is the best training
