2016 Chicago Cross Cup #1 LaBagh Woods The Chicago Cyclocross series is out of the gate. Use caution, giraffes on deck. Danko Jones - First Date

Is your shred sled ready? # # # hosts relay cyclocross in Jackson Park this Sunday (8/28) starting 10 am and lasting all day.

Come on down and cheer on the crazy guys and gals who race road bikes over dirt, grass, and wooden barriers. Bring your best heckling insults and maybe something cool/weird to hand-up to a racer at a really hard corner or right before an obstacle.

Full schedule at # # .org/relay-cross.

Also check out chicrosscup.com for more of the (infamous?) Chicago Cyclocross Cup Series.

It's been a while, let's breathe some life back into Illinois Tech Cycling!

For life.

Monsters of the Midway is tomorrow!

Go check it out or sign up to race when you get there. It's a great open four corner criterium course on the southside. Even if you don't race jump in and do some laps between the categories.

Beware there is a running race on the LFP in the morning if you plan on riding that way.

Hope to see some of you there in the afternoon!

Nicer weather this week means bike riding!

Anyone interested in weekday morning or evening rides? I'd like to get a weekly schedule going for training in addition to the weekly coffee ride.

Comment if you're down to ride and we'll set something up. Road rides preferred but willing to do dirt/grass/skills too.

Lincoln Park Crit is April 30th! Let's get ready to race!

Hey guys! ITC will be doing its first group ride this year!! We plan on leaving this Saturday, April 2nd, at 7:15 am from under the MTCC Tube perhaps going up north to get coffee. Everyone's welcome so feel free to show with your bike and ride with us!

Anyone looking for training rides or a group to ride with?

Roll: on Clybourn has rides Wednesday 6:30 pm, Saturday 8 am, and Sunday 7 am. The Wednesday ride is crit/interval stuff (this week going south to Calumet Park), Saturday is easy paced ride (no drop), and Sunday is drop (high paced). These are all road rides, to be clear.

If anyone is for coffee ride(s) on Friday morning let me know. Typically start at 7 from MTCC and cruise north or south on LFP. If you show you get input on route and coffee stop.

Also if you're looking to do any weekday morning rides hit me up, I've got plenty of AM time to ride.

Coming soon at Calumet Park! Get ready!

Student Cost will be $60 for a jersey and $75 for bib shorts but this might and probably will decrease once the SAF funding is applied. (Alumni your will be higher but I don't know the exact cost)

I know it's short notice but here's a really cool event to attend to learn more about cross country cycling and hear this amazing man's story.

Celebrate Stroke Awareness Month at Illinois Institute of Technology News and Information for Illinois Institute of Technology

This is why cycling is awesome and also why hardly anyone wants to watch it on television in its entirety.
