Hundreds of pro and amateur cyclists from around the world will soon come to the Midwest for Superweek. With more races in the Chicago area, organizers are looking for volunteers down here to provide housing for riders July 10-16. I’m told the priority is finding homes that can accommodate multiple guests, for teams such Virgin Blue Cycling squad, whose five riders are coming from Australia to race with us.

Hosts provide a bed, shower and secure bike storage. Riders are expected to provide their own transportation and food. E-mail Chuck and Kristin Paul at for more information.
