• Some absolutely 6 7 excellent weather and the best Quarry Cross course yet this past weekend! Results are here. Thanks to the DuPage Cycling Foundation, EMC^2, and The Forge for hosting the event.
• Speaking of results, if you look through the GoogleSheet you’ll notice a handful of riders are highlighted in yellow. This means they have mathematically secured the overall series win for that category since they are at least 40 points ahead of 2nd place. Congrats to those riders for racing well and consistently so far. That being said, there is still plenty of racing still to be had at the last event in the series.
• But before we get there… this week the series takes the weekend off to celebrate Thanksgiving and spend time with family and friends.
• But after that the series returns for one last weekend of racing at Montrose Beach and the Illinois State Cyclocross Championships hosted by Half Acre Cycling. The weather looks to be turning colder and snowier… and Montrose is unique in our series with the amount of sand… so batten down the hatches and get ready.
• But wait… there’s more! Since the Christmas holiday season is already filled up, we’ll have our Awards Party again in the new calendar year at Specialized Fulton Market on Saturday January 10th. More details to come, but expect the format to be similar to previous years with jersey and cowbell awards, pizza, beverages, a raffle, and general merriment.
• And finally… We truly hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving and extended holiday weekend with their family and friends… just don’t eat too much turkey or PO TA TOES!
