Pre-registration Still Open for Chicago TT

Just a quick reminder as well as a bit of shameless self-promotion for the team, that the online registration is still open for the Willow Springs stage of the HomeMade Pizza Co. Chicago Time Trial Series. The earlier you register, the earlier your start time will be. If your wife still doesn't know what to get you for Father's Day, tell her to sign you up. Besides how many more "Worlds Greatest Dad" coffee mugs can you really fit into your cupboard?

On-line registration closes at 1:00 am on Sunday June 9th.

A Racer's Nightmare

The race was taking supposed to be a 34k road race in Northern Mexico. Instead just 15 minutes into it there were broken bodies an bikes strewn across the road, and this time it wasn't a cyclist who caused the death of one 34 year old Mexican cyclist.

The race in Matamoros, Mexico on Sunday points out a valuable lesson to everyone who races, whether in the U.S. or anywhere for that matter. Courses that are not closed to cars pose the threat of serious injury or death to everyone involved. Everyone needs to do their part and be attentive from the officials and corner marshalls, to the cyclists and spectators. Keep your head up and be aware of everything that is going on around you at all times.

Registration Now Open For Willowsprings TT

The registration for the Willow Springs stage of the HomeMade Pizza Co. Chicago Time Trial Series hosted by Beverly Bike-Vee Pak, Inc. is now open. The race will be held in Willow Springs, Illinois on Sunday June 15th and will also be the closest TT venue to downtown Chicago. This will be a great course in that it features several hundred feet of climbing over the two lap 30k course. The climb up Flavin Road is nearly 1.5 km long at an average grade of 6%, and KoM points will be awarded to the top finishers. This will also be the most picturesque course of the series as it winds throught the Forest Preserves, but it may be hard to notice the scenery when you are buried in your pain cave!

Since it will be Fathers Day, I suggest you sign up soon so that you can secure an early start time to keep Mom and the kids happy. For more info contact the HomeMade Pizza Co. Chicago Time Trial Series
