Superweek races filling up
The Superweek Web site reports that 4/5 fields are filling up quickly, especially for the races in Chicago. Fees go up $5 per race starting Monday, so register now or start picking out the best place to watch.
In other race news, here is a Glencoe News story about the inaugural Glencoe Grand Prix in August. It looks like an interesting course. I'll plot it out on MapMyRide when I have a chance. "IllinoisFrank" provides us with this map. Note that the course for juniors at 5's will be slightly altered, taking a shortcut down Hawthorn to avoid the sharp turn off South onto Vernon. I've never seen a race do this, but it seems a prudent precaution.

Luke, the map you linked to is the Juniors course. The other link IllinoisFrank provided is the regular course. Keep up the good work.
I am glad I registered early for the Chicago Superweek races.

No, I had it right. I've added Frank's link to the juniors/5's race to help clarify.

Sorry, Luke. My mistake.

Cat 4/5 races for Bensenville and Evanston are now full but you can be added to the wait list if you still want to race. Check out internationalcycling.com for details about the wait list.
