Prairie Cycle Club – Bicycle Club for Champaign County, Illinois

A few extra chances to get out and ride -

THursday -- the all member welcome ride at the Assembly Hall parking lot, 6:15 p.m. -- First and Saint Mary's, NorthWest Corner. An easy cruise or you & your buddies can take off! I'll need to practice making smoothies for the Fourth of July Parade, so hang around if you get back before I do.

Friday, July 3 -- this is "the holiday" for so many people that we'll do the "Ride around the twin cities" starting at the corner of Neil and Curtis - what once was "Pages for All Ages" and near Body and Sole. 8:00 a.m. -- Here's a link to the map & I'll try to print some out & bring them so you can do your own thing. Going all the way around is close to 50 miles; there are many chances to cut in and make it shorter.

Saturday, July 4 -- being a holiday, it's technically "show and go" but I'll be out at Meadowbrook at 8:00 to lead the Saturday Saunter and we'll get back in time for festivities and parades. I've been told to don facial hair and red lipstick with blue eyelines to salute Lincoln and the red, white and blue... I dunno about that...

The Verizon Wireless Cycling Team and Wild Card Cycling are proud to bring an exciting weekend of national caliber racing to the streets of Champaign, IL. Saturday course is the classic 1 kilometer flat Downtown Champaign Criterium course last used in 1999. 4 corners, wide roads with a mild chicane on the back stretch. Sunday course is a .8 mile 4 corner crit on wide roads with small elevation change on the back stretch.
