The 2013 PA BAR season opens on Saturday with the Philadelphia Naval Yard Criterium (https://www.bikereg.com/Net/18744) in South Philadelphia sponsored by Tri-State Velo. The agenda for the race is as follows:

• M5 – 15 miles @ 8 AM
• W4 – 15 miles
• JB/JG 15 to 18 – 15 miles
• M4 – 20 miles
• M45+ – 20 miles
• W1-2-3 – 20 miles
• M55+/65+ – 20 miles
• M3 – 25 miles
• M1-2 – 35 miles

All races with the exception of the M5 race offer PA BAR points. The weather is supposed to be dry and sunny so logon to BikeReg now and sign up and take your chance on earning some early season BAR points.

The PCA Board has elected Jack Poplar to fill the vacant slot for the local association. Jack is very prominent in the cycling community, particularly in the Lancaster area, serving as Chief Referee at many events and is a co-promoter of the Grandview GP Criterium.

Six very talented and deserving individuals were on the ballot and the selection of one person to become the fifth member of the board proved to be a difficult task for the current PCA board members. The PCA Board is looking forward to Jack’s contributions to help grow cycling in PA/WV and extends their thanks to everyone who submitted their name for consideration.

A few weeks ago I included in the PCA weekly email some information on the organization that is assisting in the due diligence and planning for an indoor velodrome to be built in Coatesville. The email included a link to a survey that profiles a rider’s cycling interests and focuses on track riding and racing plus potential utilization of the Coatesville Velodrome. The survey takes just a few minutes and I hope you can take a small bit of time out of your day to participate. Thanks!

Here’s the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Velodrome
