- » Kenosha Velosport has secured a location for its spring criterium series: the Lakeview Corporate Park in Pleasant Prairie, Wis. Racing takes place March 15, 22 and 29. Keep an eye here and on the ABR calendar for a flier. (OMG, 10 days until racing!)
» Women have one less excuse not to race Half Acre’s crit series at the end of the month: Hyde Park’s Tati Cycles is offering a $35 gift certificate to any woman who registers for the entire series. Everyone is a guaranteed winner!
» Men hoping to do the series should monitor the pre-registration numbers. The 4/5 field, capped at 50, is already a third full. (Confidential to HAC: Assuming there will be a fair amount of no-shows, will there be a waiting list for single-day entrants?)
» Bikereg has recovered from its meltdown and says it’s taken measures to prevent it from happening again. If you had registered for Hillsboro-Roubaix or the Spring Super Criterium, make sure you’re still on the confirmed-rider lists, and also check your profile for accurate information.
» When the Tuesday night practice criteriums resume in Matteson on April 7, they will qualify for upgrades from Cat 5 to 4. Racers must ride all three of a night’s events to receive credit for one race, but they are allowed to be dropped and lapped.
» A Milwaukee cyclist is using cameras to capture unsafe motorists. (Via Lawyer Jim.)
» Photographer Chris Dilts has published a beautiful set of portraits from last summer’s North America Cycle Courier Championships, held in Chicago.

For Kevin’s crits, if pre-reg hits 50, it closes. We’ll be accepting day-of registrations to fill spaces left empty by series no-shows, but getting on the pre-reg list is your only guarantee.
