The USA Cycling Board of Directors has named Rob DeMartini as president and chief executive officer of USA Cycling. DeMartini joins the organization from New Balance Athletics, Inc. where he spent the last 12 years as president and CEO. He will begin his new position in February 2019. “Our entire Board and management team enthusiastically welcome Rob as our new CEO.

He led the expansion of international sales and guided the brand as it regained its position as a leader in specialty running while also focusing on cultivating company culture.
“As I join USA Cycling, I look forward to working closely with Chuck Hodge (chief of racing and events)
Justin and I have had the idea to host a little race at the indoor for a long time, and now it finally happened! The track is too small to race 1 by 1, so we decided to do a TimeTrial, without a chain.
YESSSSSS! So as of Jan 3rd, 2019 I am allowed to train with a team or club. This means wayyy more content on the bike leading into this seasons racing. Perth round 2 National Series will be my first event of 2019! Hope you're ready!
