Ok, maybe you weren’t away.  Neither were we, really.  Just because this update has taken a minute to get posted, doesn’t mean we weren’t racing!  Actually, things have been going quite well the last couple of weekends.  We have been having a lot of fun. Our main man in cheap shades, PFK, rolled up to [...]

That picture says it all. If you’re staring at the picture and can’t figure it out, we’ll break it down for your.  Those three guys are on Bicycle Heaven.  They’re not wearing our team jerseys.  See, they earned those fancy new ones.  This weekend was the USA Cycling State Road Race Championships down in O’Fallon, Illinois.  Dave Ross [...]

A few weeks back we had the State Championship crit at Glencoe.  That was fun. Hard, but fun.  This week, the State Championship road race is happening down at the O’Fallon Grand Prix… which is the second difficult omnium in as many weekends.  Should be a great weekend to race, and we’re looking forward to [...]

Andy Kerr had another fantastic weekend.  As I’m sure you recall, he’s a recently-crowned state champ.  This past weekend he set out to not only be an Illinois State champ, but he also tried to win the Wisconsin State Championship Road Race.  Tackling one of the toughest hills we race within 1.5 hours of Bicycle [...]

Stop the presses!  Remember all the way back an hour ago when we told you we’d be racing at the Tour of Galena?  We have some news to report: Resident father-of-the-pro, and fast masters racer Scott Bowden will not be able to compete in the Cat 4 race this weekend.  That is, of course, because [...]

If it seems like this is the 138th straight week of insanely good local racing… it essentially is.  To say the general Chicago-Milwaukee-Madison area is crazy for bike racing is an understatement.  There is almost too much of it.  If you race bikes, this is a good problem to have!  This week the team focuses [...]

Congratulations go out to Bicycle Heaven’s own Andy Kerr.  Last weekend the racing schedule took us to Chicago’s north shore for the State Championships in Glencoe.  With riders from all over the country, fields were huge and the racing was tough.  Not too tough for Kerr, though!  Andy won (another) USA Cycling, Illinois State Championship [...]

Glencoe is this Saturday.  Aside from being a National race, it’s also the State Crit Champs.  It already looks like there will be huge fields, even possibly getting triple-digits of riders in some.  Below is the preview from before last year’s race.  The course is the same.  See you there.

  This one comes from Brion Goudreau’s Elgin Cycling Classic photos. This weekend the team will split racing duties between the “regional” and traditional Memorial Day Weekend Bike races, and the more “local” (but equally as fun) ABD Memorial Day Masters series.

  Our Cat 5 men and Cat 4 women continue to impress!   Last weekend, racing took the team to the first (hopefully of many) Fox River Omnium.  The omnium combined a technical, not-very-hilly crit in Elgin on Saturday with the brutally steep and hilly Fox River Grove crit on Sunday.  Scoring for the overall was [...]
