Woodstock this weekend
This weekend get ready for Woodstock, no, not that Woodstock, rather the Woodstock, IL ChiCrossCup race, the last one before the Illinois State Championships. Instead of hordes of smelly, mud-covered hippies, dancing to CSNY, Canned Heat and Hendrix, expect to see in this variation hordes of smelly, mud-covered cyclocrossers, dripping with sweat and accompanied by the sounds of cowbells clanging (and lots of heckling!)
With last week's cold blast in Lansing reminding all of us that the season's winding down, there are now only two races left with which to accumulate points to be series leader. In many of the categories, only a number of points separate the leaders - a DNF due to a broken bike or a no-show because of illness may contribute to an upset and some of our top dogs could find themselves usurped. Exciting stuff, all.
Mark on your calendars now the ChiCrossCup annual banquet. More information after the jump.
The Chicago Cyclocross Cup banquet is scheduled for Sunday, January 11, 2009 beginning at 4:00 p.m. The cash bar banquet is a family friendly affair and we encourage you to bring the kids and siblings along. The banquet will be held at EJs Place in Skokie.Plan ahead and save some moolah by registering on-line and taking advantage of the 'early bird special'.
