Wednesday notebook
» Important note for Tuesday night Matteson riders: The South Chicago Wheelmen will celebrate the solstice’s extra daylight by racing at the Autobahn Country Club, 3795 South Patterson Road, this Tuesday, June 22. (Entry will be $20 rather than the usual $10.) Racing will be rain or shine.
» Project 5 will host the Tour of Villas on Saturday, July 3. Race fees are $20 plus a food donation.
» Superweek registration is open.
» Only four Cat 5 spots remain in the The Cat 5 field at the Glencoe Grand Prix is full. Congratulations to Robert Bramlette (South Chicago Wheelmen) for being DFL.
» Voytek Glinkowski (WDT-Allvoi) tells me that fields are filling up at the Allvoi Cup on the track. Because of light 55+ interest, that field has been eliminated and replaced with a 4/5 field, which will enable 5’s to participate in the mass-start races. There had been worry that the women’s field would be suspended, but after a surge or pre-registration it is officially off the chopping block. In fact, fewer than 10 spots remain.
» Chip times are available from the Illinois state road race in O’Fallon.
» Try to kill a cyclist, get curfew. Meanwhile, two cyclists this week were attacked near Lawrence and the lakefront path. Stay alert.
» Steve Dennis came up with a very clever illustration to celebrate the Giro d’Italia.
» ButtonHole Chamois Creme is the latest enterprise of Wayne Simon (Verdigris). I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m told that, yes, it has the tingle.
» Love is in the air.
» Something to think about next time you interact with an official.

Good to see the Glencoe race lasting longer than 35+ minutes. There was a time the Downers race would run 20 minutes for Cat 4.
