This Ain't Chicago... So You Can't Vote Early & Often
Due to technical difficulties, the ballot for board member voting has been delayed. But stay tune and be sure to vote when you get the chance. This is your club, have a say in it!
Thursday Nite Fat Bike (All Bikes Welcome, Really)
As of writing, I do not have any information about this Thursday, April 2nd. I assume there will be a ride, but starting place has yet to be determined. I am sure Butch or Dan Getzen should have the details later this week. They usually post on FaceBook on the TREADHEADCYCLING page.
Seems a Bit Early, But...
This Saturday, April 4th, XXX Racing-Athletico once again hosts the Alderman James Cappleman 46th Ward Lincoln Park Criterium in Chicago's Lincoln Park just north of Montrose Harbor.

Reminders:
Spring Social
Mark your calendar for April 24th, Next Door Pub at 5:30. Beer, soft drinks, pizza... I encourage you to invite someone new to join you. Or maybe someone who rode with us in the past, but for whatever reason has not been active in the club. Start organizing some informal rides, get the bikes out and knock off the dust and rust, and buddy up to enjoy some spring time riding. Hope to see you there.
Feed The Meters
As of April 1st, Lake Geneva will be ticketing cars parked without feeding the meters. I'd rather see you spend your money on bike paraphenalia than fines, so just a friendly reminder.
Mount Borah Kits Are Still at RRB for You To Try On
We will be doing subsequent orders, but you really want to be sure to get in on the first go-around. These are going to look great! The Final Proof for the look should be out later this week.
Cycling Tip
Something to think about, but here is a recent article from RoadBikeRider.com that talks about how Team Sky put their man in Yellow in the Tour de France, not once, but with two different riders.
