ILLINOIS: Chicago - Progress continues on the little velodrome on Chicago's south side with big dreams. Here's the latest media coverage from the windy city. Keep promoting cycling here in the Midwest.
WISCONSIN: Madison - With two races remaining in the WCA 'cross season, the overall series standings in the WCA 'Cross season have been updated (click on 'print' to get a viewable pop-up). In the Men's Pro 1/2 division, Matt Shriver (3D Racing) leads Chad Hartley (Kenda Pro) by a mere 2 points, 195 to 193. Shriver, the new WI State 'Cross Champion has won the last 4 races, so this may be just a formality, but Hartley has the talent and the pedigree to make this a horse race to the very end. In the Women's Category 2 division, Alyssa Severn (Cyclocrossracing.com) leads her team mate Abby Strigel by 5 points. While Strigel has 7 wins this cyclocross season, winning the last 5 over Severn, it is not over quite yet as Severn has beaten Strigel once this season, so again, this could also come down to the last race. If that weren't enough, a similar situation has developed in the Men's Cat. 4 division as well, but this time with three racers, each with wins this season and the experience to make the upset.
Jon Weinandt (Team Fond du Lac/Oshkosh Cyclery)
187
Tyler Stein (Team Fond du Lac/Oshkosh Cyclery)
180
Garrett Roth (ISCorp Cycling Team )
177
If all that weren't enough, to add to the suspense, Sunday's race is the Midwest Regional Championships
which will certainly bring more talent into the mix, perhaps from Iowa,
Minnesota, or Chicago. This should be a very exciting weekend of racing
this week in Madison. Stay tuned!
OHIO: Cincinnati King's Cross - PHOTOS While more of a fringe area of the Midwest as far as coverage here on the Star, many Indiana riders race in the Ohio Valley Cyclocross series and one of the photographers from that area, Joe Quimby, does a great job of covering those races. Some of his work, with permission, is shared here for your enjoyment.
