Velodrome in Des Plaines? Can we get some odds up on Rouleur Derby for whether it gets built or not? I’ll bet $150,000,000 on not.

Right of the NWP line.  It would have my vote. Does my vote count?

Liam, I’ll take your bet if you want to go double or nothing that the CVC gets built.

The CVC will be built, and it just may have some sway on me staying in this city a few more years.

Hello riders, due to the state of IL closing the building and shutting off the water you will have to bring bike wash water with you. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hope to see you at the race on sunday.
