- » It’s a little outside of the Chicago Bike Racing sphere of influence, but friend-of-CBR Tim Hayes (Grumpy’s/Little Guy Racing) invites you to next week’s Campus Criterium in Minneapolis. What’s interesting about this race is that the race fees are being waived for new racers, and Grumpy’s/LGR will pay the one-day licenses for any Cat 5 men or Cat 4 women. Hayes shares my enthusiasm for introducing people to the sport, and it’s great to see him and his team putting their money where his mouth is. (With such a big mouth, that can be a lot of money!)

» Fleet Feet Sports was thoughtful enough to post signs on the lakefront path warning cyclists of a running event that will clog the area around Montrose this Sunday. Most of us already know to avoid the path on weekends, but the gesture is appreciated.

Why weren’t the Lakefront signs aimed at cell-phone-using, dog-leash-extending rollerbladers as well? Fleet Feet hates cyclists, that’s why! Boycott! Boycott! (Universal Sole is located at 3052 N. Lincoln, open 10-8 weekdays, 10-6 Sat, 12-5 Sun).
