The standings for the 2013 PA Road BAR have been updated and points awarded for the Grandview Grand Prix race held on Saturday June 8^th. Thanks to the promoters for supporting our Juniors as the event served at the PA JR State Criterium.

The PA Road BAR series continues this weekend with these events:

USAC Permit 2013-852

Location: Lancaster, PA

Promoter/Sponsor: Audi Lancaster & Thru-It-All Cycling

The standings for the PA Road and Track BAR have been updated on the PCA web site. The PA Road BAR standings contains points awarded for the 2013 Philadelphia Amateur Time Trial (JR State TT) and the Fort Classic Road Race (JR 10-14 State RR).

The omnium results for masters 30+ and Women Cat 3 and 4 from the May 25^th Masters  & Rookies event at the VPCC were scored for the PA Track BAR competition. The May 28^th Tuesday night racing was rained out thus the results for the 6/4 event will count in the series for PRO-AM Men and Women, Stagiaires, Junior A and B.

Many of our junior riders and parents have emailed me concerning the categories and PA BAR points for the various JR State road events. I apologize for any confusion and I hope this email will help clarify the dates, races and categories for the state TT, RR and Criterium for the juniors.

As you know some of these races were not on the race calendar until the past few weeks and while that has been a challenge it has also been a positive as many of our great promoters have stepped up to host the events. I also know many are concerned/discouraged about the potential travel time this weekend with the state TT in Philadelphia and the RR for 10-14 junior men and ladies in western PA. In addition the 15-18 junior men and women’s RR in July overlaps JR road nationals.

I understand the issues and it was hard this year to find venues for the state RR due to the general lack of road races on the calendar. I promise that the 2014 JR state race calendar will be decided earlier in the year and more suited to all competitors.

*** Please pass this email on to your fellow competitors ***
