The Illinois Cycling Association on Wednesday announced the results of its 2011 election, and there will be complete turnover on the board of directors.

Serving as president in 2012 will be Loch Miwa (Flatlandia), whom most of us know as an official and moto-referee. Joining him will be Scott Knoepke (Psimet) as vice president, Vanessa Buccella (Iron Cycles) as secretary, Matt Riezman (Rhythm Racing) as treasurer and Mia Moore (Robots Powered By Love) as member at large. Outgoing president Steve Hansen (North Branch) has served for the past three years and served as vice president before then. Our racing scene has enjoyed some major advances and growth in that time, and we all owe him and his fellow board members thanks.
