Note from the Race Director

We anticipate another growth spurt in our rider base and are planning on challenging our riders by creating courses that will prepare them for the national contest. Our goal this year is to encourage all riders to participate in the USA Cycling National Championships . Any upgrades need to be done through USA cycling.

There are so many races within a 2 hour drive from Chicago that one could do 20 races!

Thanks for your continued support of this great sport and our series.
