13th Year?.. 10K in Prizes... Barely a Peep About the Winfield Crits?...

Yeah.. Me. too... I'd rather hear about the newbies that had a great time at the last Critical Mass... Still?...

I was surprised there was not even an event listing... for like, i dunno, ~900 cyclists! Sheesh McKreesh... I'll man the chainlink table!

I know it is near the cracks in the earth but they've like a really rocking event out there! Garage to garage whooping... Bike friendliness everywhere.

Last year... When it was cool? The marshalls even let me run both courses!!!!... Yeah... me and typhoid skippy!.. It was fantastic!!!

Bored? Go hop the metra this weekend and walk a yard to the winfield crits. It is bike-tastic

Events can be listed by anyone, so if you know of a great event that isn't getting hyped up here - then it's up to you to post it.

Do you have a link for the Winfield crits?

I try to reach out to race/ride organizers to post their events on here but I can't reach them all.

If it's not on here, feel free to tell them to post, or you can post and send them the link after you create the event.

We help get the word out about all different types of cycling events in the region and I'd love help spread the word about Winfield Crits too!

it's in my wheelhouse... i dropped the ball on representing... was not kvetching... any more than usual.... y'see....

Personally? I posted that because I thot it quite righteous that our thousands and thousands of brother and sister members give more weight to attainable and entertaining social cycling. Events like the FFR, CTTC, C-CM/C-CM North, Bike the Drive, outreach like the Naked Jewish-Muslim Bike Ride (please laugh) and of course the frisky Midnight Marauders (etc ad nauseum) get more props than ultra-organized bike jockery?... Not that there is anything wrong with that! Wow! Those tire tracks say a lot and I was thinking that is pretty sweet.

Pedal on... beloved.... mambohead out!
