ILLINOIS: CHicago - Dan Ryan Woods - RESULTS Team Sram sweeps the top two stepf of the men's Pro podium, while Samantha Schneider continues her winning ways in the Pro 1/2 Women's division, as does her younger sister, Skylar, who won the Jr 10-14 (girls and boys!). Second place in the Pro Men,  Scott McLaughlin's wife, Ellen, gives us part of that story: "We spent Sunday at Dan Ryan Woods, a park on the far-south side of the city.  Scott was feeling good after enjoying an easy win in Wisconsin on Saturday ... The race did not go exactly as planned. Scott had to run half of the first lap with a broken derailleur hanger.  (Note that the failed part is not a SRAM product.) This put him about a minute and a half behind the leaders .... by the end of the race he had passed everyone but David, who is also an engineer at SRAM."
