June 13th

Team Veloz is a cycling team based in Chicago that was founded in 2018. Local racer Jafet Torres and his wife Raquel Bagdocimo rallied friends and teammates to create a team dedicated to creating a space for other Latino cyclists in Chicago. Team Veloz values teamwork, good sportsmanship, and representation for all cyclists of color. Team Veloz is sponsored by the Bike Lane which has been a staple in the Chicago community for years. Our members race in all disciplines including track, road, and cyclocross.

We appreciate all the support from our fellow cycling community and the chance to sponsor a night at Northbrook Velodrome.

Hello and happy racing! A mentor once advised me that the way to really expand one’s practice in fulfilling ways is to stay in touch with one’s community. I’m pleased to be back in the track cycling community after such a long hiatus and happy to be supporting the velodrome and all of its dedicated volunteers in the process!

Perkins Law Office is comprised of me, Jeff Perkins, an attorney who is licensed in Iowa and Illinois. I focus on estate planning and administration, elder law, wills, trusts, and probate. After spending a few years in a wide range of legal fields, I was drawn to working directly with people who value the role an attorney plays in their own life as well as the lives of their loved ones. I’ve found purpose in being accessible to people who wish to plan their affairs or need to navigate all the processes involved after losing a loved one.

It isn’t an easy subject to discuss, but please know I’m happy to help if you have any questions or needs on the topic. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the track!

Sincerely,

Jeff Perkins
