Lower Providence USPSA: March 2014 Match Cancelled

Written by Walt in USPSA

It is official, Pennsylvania weather has claimed another victim. I came across a status update from Ted Murphy, Match Director of the Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club USPSA Program, on the Area 8 Facebook PageOpens in a new tab.. Ted was informing shooters that he has had to cancel the upcoming match on March 1st.

The Pistol Bays at Lower Providence tend to be very sensitive to wet conditions. Over a foot and a half of melting snow has left the range in rather soupy conditions. Weather forecasts for next week aren’t looking much better.

From Ted Murphy:

Hey Guys,
The range is still a soupy mess at Lower Providence Rod and Gun club and there is a threat of more winter slop next week. Because of this, we are going to cancel our March Match and reschedule our April match as a Special Classifier. We will see you then!

The following video was taken a day after a heavy rain at Lower Providence. You can’t see the condition of the ground but the sound of feet sloshing through mud is evident. If I had to guess, I’d suspect that conditions in the video are great compared to what the range is like right now.

My name is Walt White and I've been riding motorcycles on and off since my early twenties. After more than a decade away from the sport, I came back - and I've been making up for lost time ever since. Based in Southeast Pennsylvania, I write and create videos about real motorcycle ownership: the bikes I ride, the gear I test, the roads I explore, and the community I've found along the way. I ride a 2022 Yamaha MT-09 SP and a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 400, and I try to give you the honest take you'd get from a friend rather than a press release. I'm also a husband, dad to three girls, and a pitbull owner - which keeps life interesting off the bike too.
