The flier is out and pre-registration is open for the Spring Prairie Road Race, Wisconsin's state championships. It's a great course and is one of the last road races of the year. So many Illinois riders entered this race in 2006 that they created a special 4/5 category for out-of-staters. As such I don't expect these fields to fill, but keep an eye on things. And as we've discussed before, pre-registration can make things a lot easier for you and also for the race promoters.

UPDATE: Four hours later, out-of-state 4/5's outnumber Wisconsinites 11-1 in their own state championship. I love you guys! Closer to home, pre-registration is now available for the Sherman Park Criterium (June 14), Cobb Park Criterium (June 21), the Glencoe Grand Prix (Aug. 10), as well as the Illinois criterium championships in Peoria (June 29).
