The Pine Rock Double Header was judged by two different judges as we were able to accommodate two scribes each day to meet their required element of scribing two Challenges under two different judges in the process for their judging certification. The first element was the class room and written test held on May 13 and 14. The two scribes now must complete their junior judge’s element to complete the process. The CCC board will then review the results of all four elements to determine if a judging certificate will be issued.

This Challenge season is exciting as we hope that the interest and challenge of the CCC will lead to growth and interest for the organization. The CCC has a great Challenge season lined up and we are already in the process of planning the year-end finals and banquet.

Until next month, keep on riding and enjoy the experience.
