• Ok the first race of nine is in the books. The South Chicago Wheelman know how to put on a bike race and Glenwood Academy CX did not disappoint.
• Results are in the usual places. We have links to all of them here on the Overall Series Standings GoogleSheet. We know CX team names can be trick at the start of the season, and we can correct as needed for the first race or three. But please make sure your USAC license has your correct CX team name. If your team name is not correct on this list you are not contributing to your team overall score. Speaking of, The Pony Shop has taken the early lead in the team competition.
• Next up, the CCC takes a 2 week break, but then we’re back at it at our newest venue at Big Marsh hosted by xXx Racing on Sunday 10/19/2025. We’ll have all BikeReg pages updated and open soon.
• Before the series continues we have 2 open weekend. The first (this coming weekend) we always keep open so everyone can see what a real cyclocross race looks and feels like up at the Trek CX Cup. Racing kicks off on Friday and goes all weekend. While no longer a World Cup race, Trek still puts on one heck of a show and draws plenty of national caliber racers. Take a quick weekend road trip and check it out!
• Then the following weekend (Oct 12) the Chicago Marathon takes over the streets of the city.
• And finally, while not technically cyclocross, we think more people on bikes is always a good thing, especially kids. We learned this week that National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) is officially launching it’s 33rd U.S. league in Illinois. Check them out at illinoismtb.org and find out how you can help and be involved!
