Chicago racing has pretty much wrapped up for now, but Saturday there’s a road race not far away in West Lafayette, Ind., put on by Benga Sports on a 10.5-mile loop with one climb per lap. (Don’t forget the time change!) And a handful of us will be making the long drive to St. Louis for the Gateway Cup, which kicks off tomorrow. As noted earlier, organizers there are making a push to attract female riders. I hope they’re successful.
