Preliminary results are in from ACA BAR/BAR/Masters Meeting. Full details on the meeting should come out later this week but here is what is being said so far...Thanks to someone who was at the meeting for passing this on... not sure if I can expose the source though.

• Jon Tarkington (Exec Dir) started the meeting out by review the statistics and trends within the membership
  • Slight increase in ACA membership overall
  • Yet, there has been a decrease in the number of race days
  • There has been a reduction in average field size for seniors. Particularly for SM P-1-2. Deemed to be a drop out of SM2's.
  • Possible Conclusion: Excess supply of races? Change in level of interest/lifestyles?
  • Lack of officials and officials complaining about long days for closed course races.
  • BAR/BAT designation results in an increase in field size. For Men 45+, it resulted in a 45% increase.

1. Boulder gets a velodrome
2. The ACA successfully completes its first year under new leadership. Many feared it would fail and USA cycling would take over.
3. Valmont Bike Park officially is a go!
4. Boulder Cup returned to amazing weather and great racing
5. 6 cycling fatalities, 2 Boulder, 1 Golden and 1 Colorado Spring and 2 Fort Collins

Lisa Strong from Arvada CO, racing for Tough Girl took the Silver medal in KC in the Master Women 35-39. That is a good age category for Colorado this year

Lisa equals that silver with her Colorado State Championships silver.

Last week we posted a story about some of the controversial proposed changes up for votes at this Saturday's ACA meeting and since then the discussion has been raging on. Make sure that your club/team and club/team representative understand the issues and know how to vote to best represent your club/team
