I wanted to hit the Mustache Beach Race, but it didn't quite work out:

If you finish the Triple D I will supply you with a bathtub full of Iced Tea, a box of double caffeine gels and, maybe, a Ronald Reagan T-Shirt.

Unfortunately it's the worst possible weekend for me. I've had my eye on both that and the Arrowhead Ultra since the first year of each, though.

What's this I'm hearing about the Peoria crit moving to early July?

Because of the poor turnout, and associated large loss, they want to move the date back closer to the traditional date. This depends on the town council agreeing to a suitable weekend - of which there are few. I don't know anything more.

Speaking of crits, I hear that the TOAD people are looking at Hoffman Estates and Winfield. I can't remember the 3rd venue off hand.

They've been looking around at a lot of places.

I hope they pull it off. Seems we've had less races the last couple of years. I'm also waiting to hear what will come of Evanston.

Yeah. The date I saw floating around would conflict with the first weekend of Superweek... not that I think that would be a problem. Looks like somebody else might be putting on a non-SW race that weekend, too.

Yeah, I dunno. Doubt if any Chicagoans are going to bother travelling anyway. But conflicting with another race within 3 hours is a bad idea. Lower entry fees and generous purses don't work around here - this I know.
