- » Great news from West Chicago: ABD’s Wednesday night series will continue through the summer, except for the nights that conflict with the Soldier Field Cycling Series. (ABD has always been scrupulous about avoiding conflicts with other races.)
» The Illinois Cycling Association has added a feedback form to its race calendar. You must be a registered user to see it. Comments will not be posted, but they will be shared with the race promoter, officials and ICA leaders.
» Online preregistration for the Tour of America’s Dairyland closes Saturday night.
» The Wisconsin Cycling Association has canceled some of its remaining races.
» I noticed this only this week: The Great Egyptian Omnium is a stage race that will take place downstate in July. Stage races are always great fun, and these courses look interesting.
» Kristen Meshberg (Flatlandia) will be riding on a composite women’s team at next week’s prestigious Nature Valley Grand Prix. Her NVGP profile page includes a fun video of her and her junior mechanics.
» Courtney O’Neill (XXX Racing-AthletiCo) will soon be riding across the country to help build affordable housing with Bike & Build. She is tantalizingly close to her fundraising goal.
» I can be a delicate flower sometimes. Thanks, all, for the kind words this week. It’s nice to feel appreciated.

Tim Speciale (PSIMET Racing)
I made my first Wed. night crit last weekend…lots’o'fun @ the “pelodrome”.
There were a few guys out there who had never raced before…great way to get into it.
The Blackhawks are going to win tonight. Or lose. Who cares. Come out to West Chicago.
$10 gets you all the racing and salty pizza you could need on a weeknight.
