ICA Announces 2011 Race Series, Category Changes

The Illinois Cycling Association, the body that oversees road, track and cyclocross racing in this state, has announced the 16-race Illinois Cup series. With races near and far (Hillsboro-Roubaix, Great Egyptian crit), this series looks to offer a good variety of road and crit racing opportunities. For those that will be competing for the overall series winner, be prepared to tack on the miles.
