June Update!

June 5, 2026

Hi Everyone,

The road season is already nearly halfway over! We’re in full swing across Gravel, MTB, Track, and Road disciplines. Thank you to XXX Racing for hosting the Kankakee Krono State Time Trial Championship.

This weekend features two Illinois classics: the Elmhurst Criterium and the Cobb Park Criterium. We’ve also updated the Illinois Cup standings, so be sure to check them out and see how you stack up against your closest competitors.

All 2026 State Championship events have now been selected except for Cyclocross. We’ll begin accepting Cyclocross State Championship bids in July.

We’re also excited to have a Road Race on the calendar: the Boone County Road Race. This event will serve as the State Championship for both Wisconsin and Illinois. There will be separate state championship podiums for Illinois and Wisconsin riders, as well as a combined overall podium in each category.

Finally, our new State Championship jersey design has officially debuted! We’ll open the store once we have enough interest to meet the minimum order quantities.

See you in Elmhurst!
