Ride to Northbrook Cyclocross Race Sunday. Meet at Ravenswood Metra at 9:45 am
Hey all,
I'm planning on riding to the cyclocross race this Sunday in Northbrook.
Group ride link here.
We will meet at The Ravenswood Metra at 9:45, leaving at 10 am.
It's only about 15 miles or so each way (and there is a metra nearby if you don't want to ride back).
*** Special thanks to Michael Young and Ciclo Urbano/West Town for lending me the bike!!!!
The schedule for the day can be found here.
FYI - Watching a cyclocross race is tons of fun if you have never been. The fans are there to heckle the racers and ring cow bells- essentially make fun of them. Here are a few blogs to learn about cyclcross in Chicago - As The Crank Turns, Bonebell and Chicago Bike Racing.
I'll be racing at 12:45 in the Women Cat 4 race for Team Chainlink (ha) so feel free to yell stuff at me. I'll for sure be in the back so you will easily know who I am. Actually, the juniors start 2 minutes after the Women's Cat 4 but will quickly pass me, so again just look out for the slowest lady wearing a chainlink jersey.
Here is a picture of me coming in dead last in Wauconda (but it was fun!)
