CCC Tuesday Updates – 20161011
October 11, 2016
- Wow, who’d a thunk Dan Ryan Woods would be muddy? What is already one of the series’ more challenging courses turned into an outright tractor pull. Thanks to everyone who came out to race, run, climb, & swim… and everyone who stuck around all day to cheer on all our riders. All the results you seek are linked here.
- Speaking of results, for those of you who are new to the series, and a reminder for you old timers, we put up a “Pics, Vids, and Race Reports” post on each race’s page the day of each event. Apologies if these pages have gotten buried in the new website design. Please use these pages to post links to all the great photos & videos you are taking throughout the day as well as race reports and comments. We can’t manually scour the web to curate all the content out there, so please give us a hand. Everyone enjoys seeing themselves on Monday morning.
- Speaking of comments, keep sending them our way. We read all the comments on the CCC website & Twitter and reply back to every email within 24 hours… usually much faster. The CCC only gets better based on constant rider feedback.
- Next up the CCC travels Northwest out to Carpentersville… or at least somewhere very nearby. An 11th hour construction project at Carpenter Park will have us moving to another (hopefully) temporary location up the road. We’re still working out the final details with race director, CCC series director, Main St Bikes owner/operator, Belgian beer connoisseur, and all around great guy Jeff Provisor. But if anyone knows how to pivot on a dime and pull an event together its Jeff and his Main St Sasquatch Squadron… squad. Stay tuned for details and look for the updated course preview at the regular time Thursday morning. In the meantime tell all your friends who never visit this website to come here and read this website.
- And finally… if you’re looking to get involved with the rad ladies of Chicago Women’s Elite Cycling next season, please attend their “Get Involved with CWEC in 2017” event tonight at BFF Bikes in Bucktown. See more info on their The Facebook page here.
Go back to Randall Oaks! It was the bomb!
Also, how will change of venue affect the petting zoo?
More details to follow, but the new location for the Carpenter Park race is at the Woodland School at 770 Navajo Dr, Carpentersville, Il 60110
Randall Oaks unfortunately was not an option for us as they did not invite us back, however the grounds of the Woodland School are an excellent compromise with a fair amount of rolling elevation change.
This will be a race only venue, sorry no petting zoo, but the folks at Elmhurst Masters will be hosting the kids race, and Daves Slow Food will be providing the grub.
This is the 3rd year friends and I ride to Dan Ryan and we had too much fun. Enormous shoutout to the Shark who kept us hooting next to the moat/duck pond/etc., and everyone’s grit in going around that course. Good job all!
