For those in the Chicagoland area, the NRC makes its way into the Midwest with the Alexian Brothers International Cycling Classic Tour of Elk Grove. How's that for a mouthful? Many of the top continental professionals will be in the area for the two day event. Spectators and riders alike will be treated to the debut of the blue rainbow colored jersey of the current "B" World Champion, Toyota-United's Ivan Stevic.
Elk Grove was the first crit that I participated in so it holds a special place in my heart, and in my legs. I can still feel the pain from the fast pace and technical course. It was also my first DNF as I was blown out the back instantly. Needless to say, I learned many lessons about proper positioning in the field and even at the line.As always, check into Truesport.com for results and/or photos for any of the races listed below.

I would like to provide you, the reader, with some alternatives to these competitive events or in case the weather is less than desirable, but I am actually going to refrain. The calendar has flipped over to August, and this month is for riding. So go out and ride!
