- » The Delavan Road Race scheduled for Labor Day weekend has been canceled.
» John Coyle (Wolverine Sports Club) has video from the Downers Grove Cat 2, in which he finished 3rd. Props to Patrick Fasse (Bicycle Heaven), who attacks ahead of Turn 5 and, even though he doesn’t get away, keeps the hammer down all the way to Turn 8.
» WDT-Allvoi has its first national champion: Jon Fraley won the 30+ sprint at last week’s masters national track championships in Colorado Springs, Colo. Other local winners: Chicagoan Reid Schwartz (Midwest Masters) won the 60+ 500m and was part of the winning 60+ team sprint squad; Cary’s John Goodman (Midwest Masters) won the 60+ 2km time trial; and Jim Host (PACT/Dish Network) picked up a jersey in the 50+ 3km team time trial.
» If you’ve ridden in Wisconsin this summer you may have noticed the phenomenal riding of IS Corp’s Matt Busche. Kelly Benefit Strategies noticed, too, and recently signed the young climber, and he had an explosive professional debut at the Tour of Utah, placing 7th in the GC. Podium Insight has the skinny.
» Registration is opening for Chicago Cyclocross Cup races.

I’m sure there are other podium finishers in the area but one that I noticed was that of a Mr. Jason Garner of Garner Cycling. He got 2nd in the 35-39 year old match sprints.
Stiff competition ‘round these here parts! Congrats!
