There’s been a rumor floating around for a couple of months that the Vernon Hills crit may be coming back. This early-season race was a favorite for many, and the team has had a fair degree of success there (except the year that Bryan Fuller ended his race on the grass, in the fetal position, [...]
You know what’s a bad sign? When somebody shows up to the group ride in a State Championship jersey. See that dude in the blue? That’s an Illinois State Championship jersey. Not his only one, either. Mix in another state champion., a former national champion, one of the top ranked triathletes in the world, a [...]
And you thought that Omloop Het Nieuwsblad was the big even this weekend. Wrong! Despite the snow covering the area last night, we’re still geared up to ride.

The weather at both of these races can be dicey, so it’s great to see guys committing early and not caring about [...]

What do the Rolling Stones and the Bicycle Heaven Racing crew have in common? Sold out shows! Computrainer class was booked yesterday. Computrainer class on Saturday is sold out as well. Not bad for a computrainer studio that’s only been around since December. Can’t wait to finish off the rehearsals and start touring.
