Yep, the race is right off the Metra Rock Island train line. It's not still Metra bike blackout days, is it?

Everyone watch out for this " Ken Gray " fellow - real weirdo type of guy. Oh sure he'll come off as friendly but give it time. Often seen blasting his "sound system bike" .

I agree with Ken! I call this a big, happy block party with a great bike race dropped in the middle. See you there!

This is a must attend event. Just too much fun! I posted it on the calender too. As usual I missed this post. Thanks for letting folks know. See you there, Ken.
