September 02, 2026  /  Race Director

Hard to believe it but this week is our final week at the track for the 2026 season! We finally have a year without a make-up State Championship tonight!! (The International Omnium was rained out and is the only race we do not make up)

Of course we will be having our annual BBQ featuring our champion grill master, Aram!

Special thanks go out to our racers' families, friends, and fans, our USA Cycling officials, the Illinois Cycling Association, the Northbrook Park District, and our local photographers Matthew Reschke aka the Beard and Bokeh and Greg Metzler, as well as new addition Zach Slavens aka PBC photos, who have gone above and beyond to provide us amazing action shots all summer!

And of course thanks to you, our racers! We wouldn't have the great program we do without you!

And stay tuned for the date for our annual banquet!

Hope to see you at the track!

Week 16: Madison State Championships sponsored by Evanston Bicycle Club

August 24, 2026  /  Race Director

EVANSTON BICYCLE CLUB

The People: The Evanston Bike Club was formed with 30 members in 1971 under the sponsorship of Evanston’s Recreation Department.  Today we have more than 500 members who live in Evanston (35%), Chicago (20%), Wilmette (10+%), Skokie (5+%), Glenview (5+%) and other places (20+%).  Our membership is about evenly split between men and women.  What hasn’t changed since 1971 is EBC’s focus on safe, recreational cycling for adults.  Fun. Friendship. Fitness.  And, OK, Food.

The Rides: We have rides every day leaving from Evanston or Wilmette week in and week out.  Our official “season” runs from April through October, but the hardier among us ride year round when weather permits. From time to time on weekends, rides may start at “remote” locations such as in the northern suburbs or southern Wisconsin. We offer rides in a broad range of paces and distances. Some of us cycle leisurely to an interesting site or restaurant; some of us cycle to achieve speed or endurance goals; some of us do both. The vast majority of our cycling miles are ridden on roads, though some of our rides may include bike paths or trails.  We generally follow a “no drop” policy except on the very fastest of our rides. There are also opportunities for multi-day destination rides with EBC.  In recent years, we’ve offered summer rides in Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan and winter rides in Arizona, California, Texas and Florida.

Sharing and Caring: EBC has been the organizer of the North Shore Century ride since 1984.  It is our pride and joy.  It is entirely produced by 100+ club member volunteers.  We welcome about 2,000 riders each year and are delighted to see their joy in the journey cycling through the northern suburbs and up to Kenosha. The 2026 Northshore Century will take place on Sunday, September 20th. For more info and to register, go to www.northshorecentury.org

CHICAGO JUNIORS CYCLING CLUB
MISSION: The Chicago Juniors Cycling Club is dedicated to introducing young riders to bicycle racing. We offer training opportunities to help our riders learn new skills, to prepare for races and events, and to have fun! The team strives to provide a welcoming environment for both new and experienced riders, as they prepare to race in the junior categories (ages 8-18) of USACycling. Our goal is to create a life-long love for cycling, whatever discipline it may be, and for kids to spend time exercising outside in a healthy manner. We judge success more from kids choosing to participate, and not quit, than from counting the number of races won.


HISTORY: Founded in 2011, the Chicago Juniors Cycling Club came together when Pony Shop owner Lou Kuhn asked Paul Swinand if he was interested in organizing a juniors team to participate in the Chicago Cyclocross Cup.  Since that time, the team has grown from a small group of friends and their kids, to young riders and families from around the Chicago area and multiple disciplines. The team’s roster averages about 30-40 riders and many Ponies first get involved through the summer beginner programs at the Northbrook Velodrome.

THE PONY SHOP: Established in 1969, The Pony Shop has been serving Evanston cyclists for more than five decades. We’re a locally owned, independent bike shop built on honest service, quality bikes, and a deep love of riding. Owner Lou Kuhn took over the shop in 2004, carrying forward its legacy while modernizing it for today’s riders. A lifelong cyclist and hands-on mechanic, Lou leads a team that treats every bike—and every customer—with care, precision, and respect. From daily commuters to performance road and mountain riders, we’re here to keep you rolling with expert service, trusted brands, and no-nonsense advice. The Pony Shop isn’t just where you buy a bike—it’s where you take care of it.

Week 11: Keirin State Championships s/b George Garner Cyclery Track te

July 19, 2026  /  Race Director

For George Garner, growing up during the Great Depression in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California with his three siblings, held no hint of his future lifelong obsession with all things bicycle. However, from 1939 on he raced bikes around dirt tracks and over the Hollywood hills, losing his front teeth and breaking a few bones along the way. George served with the Marine Corps in World War II and witnessed the landing on Iwo Jima and the occupation of Nagasaki. George's love of the bicycle continued into adulthood when he opened his first bike store in 1947. In 1953, George and his friends helped build the Encino Velodrome in Encino California, nearly overturning a steamroller on themselves in the process. George's relationship with the great Schwinn Bicycle Company grew and in 1965 he moved to Northbrook, IL. Sales awards from Schwinn weren't enough. George built his family like his business, with love and dedication, profiting in the form of three sons and five grandchildren. 


George never forgot his first love, the bicycle, spending hours and quite a few dollars supporting another area velodrome, this time in Northbrook, as well as winning many more accolades along the way. Before Father Time took away his ability to pedal, George spent every morning riding a Schwinn Airdyne to the tune of thousands of miles. And for those reading this who never had the chance to know George, you just might learn what really made him tick, by getting outside and riding a bike.

Week 9: Junior Invitational Points Race s/b Garner Northbrook Bicycle Club

The 14th Annual 30 Lap Junior Invitational Points Race features a variety of prizes, including $1000 payout spread across the entire field, and primes and is open to all juniors (cat 1-5) with track racing experience.

This race has become a staple of the Northbrook Thursday Night Racing calendar in large part due to the continued support of Tim Harrison and Kenny Labbe, as well as all of our juniors, their parents, friends, and fans. Thank you very much!

*Depending on turnout, the junior categories may be further split into 9-12, 13-14, and 15-18 fields. 

The podium, featuring all juniors, will follow the Masters race in session 3. 

The Garner Northbrook Bicycle Club shares a passion for all facets of cycling. For many years the Club hosted the Friday Night Velodrome Development Series. Our members continue to volunteer at various events, including the Chicago Cyclocross Cup Series events, Wheeling Heritage Park CX, now the George Garner Memorial CX.

The group leaves at 7 am sharp every Sunday from the George Garner Cyclery: Northbrook location at 1111 Waukegan Road. Ride is year round dependent on weather.

Week 8: Women's Night featuring the Tremelling/Panveno/Kron Memorial Points Race

June 30, 2026  /  Race Director

Amy Tremelling was a lifelong cyclist. Amy started cycling in the stock bike program in Kenosha, and she graduated to Kenosha’s Tuesday Night USCF races. She competed in all national track cycling events from 1991 to 2002. Amy competed and placed well in the 1995 Olympic Festival. Amy also competed internationally in the Netherlands International Track Cup Race, where she took the silver medal in the Points Race. In 2000, Amy rode professionally for the Trek Regional Road Team, and in 2001 and 2002, she rode for Trek Plus Women’s Road Race Team. Amy’s last women’s pro race was the Tour of Kentucky where she won the Pro/1 women’s race.

Franco Panveno was a wonderful ambassador for the sport of track racing and for those of us who race in Northbrook. His welcoming demeanor shined on every group and across every team at the track. His friendship extended to many of the racers who call the Ed Rudolph Velodrome their home track and he was loved by us all. Out of respect and love for him, #97 has been permanently retired.

Marianne Kron was a supporter of track racing at Northbrook since the early 1970s and has won numerous state, national, and world masters titles. In addition to collecting her share of trophies, Kron inspired countless Chicago-area women to get into racing. “I once gave Marianne a ‘Paving the Way’ award at a women's dinner,” Francine Haas said. “As a cyclist, she has paved the way for other women to compete. She's earned many accolades in cycling, but she also encourages younger women to get out there and compete and to follow in her footsteps,and beyond! There are no excuses with Marianne and that's the way it should be.” Still passionate about track racing, our recent racers would know Marianne as a frequent Thursday Night spectator often sitting in turn one with other local legends.

Week 7: Keirin Night sponsored by Garner Cyclery

June 24, 2026  /  Race Director

If you are looking for experience in the cycling industry, we just can’t be beat. George Garner has been a part of the cycling industry since 1947 when he opened his first bike shop in southern California. He quickly became one of the nation’s top bike dealers and was recognized as such by the Schwinn bicycle company. So much so that they asked him to come on as a consultant who would be responsible for shaping their dealer network. In 1964 we opened our first location in Illinois, the model store in Northbrook. We’ve been in Libertyville since 1977, and Lake Zurich since 1980.

We can put you on the right bike for your purposes. We are a full service bike shop, and carry everything you need to make the most of your cycling experience. Our salespeople are not commissioned. We will sell you only what you need and make suggestions based on your criteria not ours.

Every new bike from George Garner Cyclery is assembled by full-time, experienced, professional mechanics. George Garner Cyclery has some of the most experienced people in the industry. Some of our mechanics have over 30 years of bike knowledge.

Week 6: Mosora Memorial Points Races s/b Bouledogue Tout Noir

June 17, 2026  /  Race Director

Thursday night’s program is in memory of local legend Chris Mosora whom the world lost in 2020. Chris was well known throughout the Chicagoland area as an accomplished track and road racer and was never one to turn down any race, especially those with “individual” and “time trial” in the title. Indeed, Chris was known to show up to road time trials with a fixed gear bike, both baffling and garnering awe from his competitors. On any given Thursday night, Chris could be found at the velodrome, likely at the pointy end of the field and launching seemingly endless attacks, which was his style. He also was known for tinkering with his position and gear, and we’d like to think he pioneered the extreme shallow drop bars which are prevalent today. Chris was always in the mix in the Category 1/2 Rider of the Year competition, handily winning the competition in 2010. He achieved local legend status when he won the 2010 Roger DeLanghe Trophy Race against a stacked field of strong local and regional racers, previous champions, and even an Olympian.

Off the bike, Chris was soft-spoken with a witty and dry sense of humor that always would leave a smile on your face. Chris was an admitted audiophile and a jazz lover, who took tremendous pride in his home's sound system. He was a person who always had something wise to say, and when he gave advice, you listened. Chris and his wife, Stacy, relocated to Tucson, where they continued their tradition of spreading love and happiness via the bicycle with their coaching business, On The Box Coaching.
