Somehow this escaped my radar, but Sunday is American Bike Racing’s Illinois state criterium championships in Lombard. There are several juniors categories and a beginners race for those with 15 or few mass-start races.
It’s the same course as ABD’s annual Fall Fling: a safe, office-park loop with one shallow rise. For those who can’t make it to Wisconsin for the last days of Superweek, this is a good alternative.

The course is definitely safe, but it can give some riders a false sense of security. There were plenty of crashes in last years Cat 4 Fall Fling finale. And if it rains, turn 3 gets very slick.
