    Default Mathiessen Mountain Madness June 2nd...you going?

    June 2nd (rescheduled date)

    Mathiessen Mountain Madness

    Mathiessen State Park, Oglesby, IL

    Hosted by the Illinois Valley Cycling Association (IVCA)



    I'm going...not sure if I'll drive up Sat and "tent camp" to check out the trail or just drive up early Sunday morn. Is anyone else going? Maybe we could car-pool?

    Going if it's not rescheduled again. I'll wait until the last minute to register, though.

    I signed up... in the hopes that the races doesn't get cancelled. Also, USA Cycling is bleeding me dry with another surcharge - this time $3.30 from $2.70 at BP. Plus a $5 non-USAC license fee for the first time? I bought a IVCA membership, too, because it's definitely worth the $10 to support them.

    Experiencing the world through second hand information isn’t enough. If we want authenticity we have to initiate it. We will never know our full potential unless we push ourselves to find it.

    Just as we finished marking the course we got hit with a short but intense downpour, so we've made a very difficult decision to reschedule. We feel this decision is best for the trails and rider safety. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
    Thanks

    Not yet. It'll take a few days for them to get a new date, since no one ever plans for a second rain date.
