Saturday: Show up here, turn it up to ludicrous speed for around an hour, sprint after the bell. Sunday: Drive to Maple Park, hammer when the clock thing starts beeping, ride until you are about to barf, turn around, ride until you barf. It’s going to be a great weekend of racing. Thanks to our [...]
Do you love your bike? Do you love riding it? We do. Tonight, we ride. A lot. The Tuesday night hammerfest will be leaving from the shop at 5:15. The shop is closed for interbike, so don’t expect use of the bathrooms or to be able to stock up on GU. Tuesday night banditcross will [...]
Jackson Park kicked off the official Chicago Cyclocross season and, like any bike race in the area, we were there. John Craychee managed to pick up where he left off… on the top step of the podium in 60+. Congrats to him for taking an early lead in the series points championship. On the other [...]
Fall is here. The White Sox are in the heat of a pennant race, the NHL is about to start another lockout, and the Bears are still undefeated. Nothing screams “early fall” like an undefeated Bears team. To us, fall is more than just irrelevant Cubs games (weren’t they mathematically eliminated in June, again?) and Pumpkin Pie [...]
Great turnout tonight! There was sweat, there were broken parts… no blood, though! The group seems to be getting bigger and more diverse each week. This week we had a junior, some masters and we were up to 3 very fast girls included in the mix. All having fun on cyclocross and mountain bikes. Come [...]
Ara dropping knowledge in front of some of the jerseys the team has won this year.
The Bicycle Heaven group ride has been pushed forward to 5:30. Should be a great ride tonight. Also, there will be banditcross tonight at 8:30. More details here. Extra peppy riders should be able to hit both.
Even if road season is nearly over and cyclocross season hasn’t yet begun, this is the best time of year to ride a lot. And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing. We kicked the weekend off with an easy 88 Kermesse. It wasn’t just an 88 Kermesse, though. It was Little Nick’s first big ride on [...]
Tomorrow. Departing from the Geneva Caribou at 9:00 a.m. sharp. 3+ hours of pain. This should be fun.
We’re two weeks away from the beginning of the end. The beginning of the end of road season, anyway. Some of the team will be heading down to the Gateway Cup for the country’s best Labor Day road racing. The majority of the team will be staying close in an effort to prepare for ABD’s [...]
