Racing Returns To Matteson June 10th!
After nearly a one month hiatus, the Tuesday Night Criterium Series presented by the South Chicago Wheelmen will return on Tuesday, June 10th at 6:00 pm. Due to the recent construction there is quite a bit of mud and dirt, and Michael Kelly is offering free racing for the evening to those who bring a broom and lend a hand. Do your part if you can, the more of us that help out, the faster we can get racing again.

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.
