• Merry Christmas Eve! We know not everyone celebrates Christmas, but we do know that sending well wishes to someone, anyone, & everyone is rad and always a great thing to do. So whatever you celebrate this time of year or if tomorrow is just another Wednesday… we hope you are doing well and riding your bike! 🎄
• Congratulations to everyone who traveled down to Louisville to race at USA Cycling National Cyclocross Championships. Full results are here.
• Lost and Found – If anyone lost anything, especially something significant like nice jewelry, please get in touch with us. We throw out old water bottles (because who knows what’s living in them now) but hold on to clothing, helmets, shoes, etc. for a little while in case someone tries to ride their bike in early January and realizes they’re missing something.
• There’s still time to help those in our community that could use it. For many years the series has supported West Town Bikes, Blackstone Bicycles Works, and Friends of Big Marsh. The series just made it’s annual donation to each of these groups from the dollars you all donated throughout the season and the series matched those donations dollar for dollar. If you’re able, please consider donating here, here, and here. Thanks! 💪  
• And finally… don’t forget we’re holding our end of season Awards Party on Saturday 1/11/2025 at Specialized Fulton Market. We’ll be raffling off not one but two Specialized Crux framesets provided by Specialized Chicago as well as tons of other prizes. Purchase your “random drawing” tickets now on BikeReg. Please use the free “attending” option to RSVP… so we have enough food and dranks. Happy New Year!
