National Bicycle League Founder, Bob Tedesco, is retiring from his position as NBL Director of Competition effective immediately. The NBL Board of Directors will leave the position vacant until after Competition Congress in early February when a new Board of Directors will be elected.

This position I have held for many years has been both challenging and rewarding. It has been my sincere pleasure to serve the National Bicycle League in this capacity, and I truly appreciate all the support that I have always received from the Board of Directors.

I have immense confidence and am certain that Gary will succeed in making the NBL once again “The Best in BMX”.
