PCA Boards Elects Jack Poplar to Fill Vacant Slot

david — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:03:45 +0000

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.

Coatesville Velodrome Project Survey

david — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 17:37:01 +0000

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
