** Good Morning and Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there. As you all know we have been getting constantly hit by rain every time we turn around it seems. Well once again it rained pretty heavily in York yesterday and overnight. Once again the track is in terrible condition due to all this rain. Therefore we do have to cancel races for today Sunday June 21, 2009. We apoligize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. I guess this means all you dads out there have a day just to sit back, relax and enjoy your day. Hope you all have a great day and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday evening June 24th at the track. The BNB Staff **

More bad weather for Friday.  Tonight's race has been canceled.  It looks like Saturday and Sunday will be dry.  But we need lots of help getting the track ready.  All of this constant rain has taken it's toll on the track and hasn't given us time to work on it.  Registration starts at 11 am on Saturday, but please come early to help work on the track.  Contact Chad Gay, the track director, at 717-577-6480 for more information about how you can help.

Hello Everyone, I am writing you today to inform everyone that we do need to cancel races for this evening (Wednesday, June 3rd) and practice for tomorrow evening (Thursday, June 4th) due to the severe thunderstorm that went through the area yesterday evening (Tuesday, June 2nd). There is a lot of work that has to be preformed on the track to have it race ready for this Big Multipoint Weekend coming this weekend. We do apoligize for any inconvenience this has caused anyone. We are also asking for anyone who can help work on the track at all to please contact Chad Gay to find out what time he will be out there working. All help is so greatly appreciated and it only helps to make the track even smoother for you to race on. Thank you in advance for all your help and we look forward to seeing you this weekend.

Urgent Messages:  More Rain...

** Sunday Race, May 17, 2009, is CANCELED due to weather **

Good Morning Everyone,  As you know we have had weeks of rain with a few days of sunshine.  Well late last night we had some more heavy rain come through the area.  Given the fact that the track was already saturated from before and then with last nights rain added in to the mix we have been forced to cancel today's race as well.  The track has several soft spots on it as well as some big water puddles left from the overnight rains.  We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused anyone.  We are hoping the weather soon clears up so we can all get out there and have some fun.  We have started our Wednesday night races so we do hope to see you there Wednesday.  Have a great week.

Please check your Membership Card (must be presented to race all ABA events) to see if you need to renew.  We receive 5 points for every renewal and 10 points for every new member.  So start talking to your friends at school and at your other activities. Don't forget your other family members.  You know how Mom and Dad are all the time encouraging you to pedal?  Maybe you could suggest that they get a bike and race with you.  It could be a lot of fun for the whole family.

As always, help is needed to work on the track.  If you could help with the upkeep of the track or would like to be contacted about work parties, please contact Chad, Mike or Rich and they will call or E-Mail you when they will be at the track.  WE really need help weed whacking.  Thursday practice night is a good night to bring weed whackers and help out.  Most race days we need people to man the track as officials and to water the track.  We also need First-Aid or EMT people to man the track "especially" at big races.
