This weekend’s races: July 5-6

ABR holds its state championships Sunday with the Wood Dale Criterium. The course is in the industrial park that hosted the masters and juniors criteriums over Memorial Day weekend. Note that a previous flier listed only a P/1/2/3 race, but there will indeed be a separate race for 3’s.

In Wisconsin we get one of our last road races of the year with the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater road race. It’s a new course this year so I can’t comment much, but the area is thick with rolling hills, and it appears there is at least one challenging climb on each of the 5.5-mile laps.

Change of the Whitewater course is a shame. The new one isn’t very challenging at all other than the necessary dodging of the bad spots in the lousy pavement.

According to the flyer, the course is not the same as the course on Memorial Day weekend. This will be using the North course. I wonder if all the crashes in turn 2 on Memorial Day had anything to do with the course selection.
