Thanks to xXx Racing for keeping us racing this past weekend and using every last shred of available land in Jackson Park to fit the course it.

Jackson Park? Weren’t we just there? Yes – xXx Racing received short notice that Schiller Woods was not available and Indian Lakes is definitely no longer available so we’re back at Jackson Park in the Chicago Park District.

Let’s all pitch in and make it another great CCC race. Pre-registration is open on BikeReg until tomorrow (Friday) night at midnight. Don’t delay, reg today! Staging: Remember for the 2nd race and the rest of the seri ..read more
