Chicago Bike Racing

» Minneapolis blogger Smithers has a fun and insightful interview with the new Minnesota Cycling Federation president. Read parts one, two and three. Coming on the heels of last week’s ICA discussion, it’s interesting to see the issues facing another state association. Money quote: “It’s easy to sit behind the keyboard and pound out on the message board what should be done, but it’s a lot harder to endure a brutal meeting or spend eight hours in the middle of nowhere watching a corner so 35-year-old men can pretend they are Lance Armstrong.” (WARNING: Interview is accompanied by photo that may not be safe for workplace viewing.)
» Ed White (XXX Racing-AthletiCo) is the lastest Chicago racer to win the VeloNews photo contest, with a little help from Adam Clark (XXX Racing-AthletiCo).
» How awesome is it that thousands of Chicago drivers will be paying $75 to slap a picture of a bicycle on their windshields?
» Turin in Evanston is offering two weekly indoor training sessions: Monday sessions meet at the shop for free, and Thursday sessions at the McGaw YMCA are $17.

Was the picture of Smithers necessary??? If they had anything to write about it was lost on me as I clicked off once the ugly pict showed up.

Sorry about that, SL. It’s a coarse sense of humor they have up in the tundra. I’ve added a warning to the link.

Wow.

That isn’t a picture of Smithers, it is a president of our new president. He is very “down to earth.”
