After fitness, experience is perhaps the most important requirement for success in bike racing. That's why we're excited to team with the Illinois Cycling Association to present a series of practice criteriums at Labagh Woods on Chicago's Northwest Side. Men and women of all categories are welcome for up to three 30-minute races each night, starting Wednesday, June 19. Entry costs only $15 a night. Although upgrade points are not available, racing may count toward the upgrade from 5 to 4.
