» Do me a favor and pre-register for Sherman Park, will you? If you love Chicago, if you love bike racing, if you love Chicago Bike Racing <cough> <cough> , you will do this race. Pre-registering makes things easier for everyone, and keeps it from looking like a freakin’ XXX Racing-AthletiCo scrimmage.

Thanks for the mention, Luke. Dunno about European values, but everyone’s pretty excited about the classic kits, which are very reminiscent of early postwar uniforms. How I’ve been able to hornswaggle a couple dozen roadies into full wool kits is still a mystery. Also, you don’t technically need to be an HP resident to join… but due to the pretty stiff training, volunteering, and meeting requirements for team membership, all but 2 folks do live within a mile or so of the shop.
