About the Poplollies
The Willamette Valley Women's Cycling Team, aka the "Poplollies," are a licensed Oregon Bicycle Racing Association team who live and train in Eugene, Oregon. The Poplollies are the only team in the southern Willamette Valley dedicated solely to promoting women's bicycle training and racing. We formed in 2005 to create a team with goals aligned with women's real lives --balancing training, racing, families and work.
Since we formed our riders have included some of the top placing women in the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association (OBRA) and our team has consistently been ranked in the top ten in Oregon overall. See the "Results" section for more of the season's exciting racing results.
We are fortunate to have Norman Babcock, Expert USA Cycling coach, as our head coach. He is working with our team to develop team tactics for races as well as developing individual training plans for each rider. With his help our team continues to grow in experience, skill and depth.
