Regarding the speculation and hand-wringing in my previous post, please note this important clarification from Superweek’s Andy Garrison: “We have worked with The Village of Bensenville for over a year on this project. The path that is shown on the map is now 24’ to 25’ wide in all areas. The Village has repaved the area with fresh new pavement. Mayor John Giles and the Village have made a huge commitment to bike racing and moved the race to the park to coincide with an event that culminates on the 16th at 8 p.m. with a free concert featuring The Gary Puckett Band. There will be the usual food and beverages and $4,000 in guaranteed primes.”

Garrison also informs us that the 4/5’s race at Evanston is filling up.

Update: Gary Chioda (Tower Racing) sends us these camera photos of the course. The image on the right is where the path spits back onto the road, and Chioda reports that a crew was there today patching cracks.
