I decided to head down to the Soldier Field Cycling Series last week. It was a combination of my regular babysitter cancelling so I couldn't do my regular Wed ride, the availablity of last minute child care (thank you Barry!!) and wanting to see what all the fun I'd been hearing about all summer was about. I had heard that all year there had been large crowds, but it was pouring rain that day so it scared away a lot of participants and spectators and the podium girls and guys I had heard about. When we were racing the rain stopped so we just had lots of puddles to deal with.
I highly reccomend this series for people that work or live in the city and want to get some crit riding in. For a parking lot course it was pretty fun! Nice place to practice high speed cornering. The women's field was combined and small, only 6 of us, but I was super impressed with the other riders, especially the Track Cat Rosette! Great job out there. The event was very well run and lots of fun!
