Yep- in Chicago.  Check it out.  

Crits are short road loops- often a mile or so- and are great for spectating.  

The first race starts at 8am with the 12th and final event starting around 4:45pm and lasting 45 minutes.  Races include boys and girls starting at age 9, masters age 55+ and everyone in between.

Conveniently located in between Wilson and Lawrence, the lake front and the path.

XXX Racing is hosting the event and still looking for course marshals...  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0At9LHV68W8xQdFl5SEJYeE...
