• The Wheeling Park District welcomes us back for another day of cyclocross racing at Heritage Park cohosted by the Sasquatch Squadron powered by Main Street Bicycles and the Northbrook Garner Bicycle Club.
  • Online reg is open until Friday night on BikeReg.
  • Preliminary staging will be posted here Saturday.
  • Please park in the North Parking lot east of the course to be closest to registration and the start. Please do not park in the lot adjacent to the Community Center to keep spaces open for folks heading indoors. All are welcome in the building where you’ll find additional rest rooms and hot showers, but please leave your bicycles outside.
  • The Cart will be put before the course once again with Mario’s Cart providing midday Mexican food. 
  • Lots of open grass and paved pathway for warming up, but as always, be mindful of pedestrians and other patrons of the park. Please refrain from riding on the playground surface and don’t set up tents in the pavilion grass due to underground electrical. 
  • Also a special note, DO NOT EVER overtake a rider who is still finishing their race. We’ve had a few complaints about this and pre-riders getting too close to racers still finishing. Please give everyone the respect you would expect while you are racing. Thanks!
  • No drones are allowed to take flight within the park due to the proximity of the Chicago Executive Airport. PWK for those of you booking last minute arrivals.
  • Staging is in the northeast corner nearest the North Parking lot access road.  
  • The course runs clockwise again. The classic.  The start is a long power drag.  The finish is a long power drag.  Everywhere else is tech.  So, get those primers in on Saturday and sharpen those elbows because on Sunday we’re doin’ super serious amateur racing with nothing on the line but bragging rights (for most races).
  • The two-way pit is just east of the aquatic center.  It ain’t midway ’round and it’s nowhere near the start so don’t get a mechanical in the techy sections where it’s most likely to happen.  Get your mechanical somewhere in the easy part near tent city.  Look… on a serious note, the park gets a lot of local traffic and the only other flat spot is out of the way where things could disappear and we don’t want that.  Anyways, we’re toying with the idea of an A/B line, again.  Last year had a lot of people wondering if one or the other was faster and we liked that.  Opt for A longer unobstructed route that may or may not be rideable or a shorter Barriered route that may or may not be rideable. Be choosey (if it happens).  No itty-bitty drop this year.  It was, apparently, too big.
