The 2025 season is fast approaching! The final NCC Meeting is set to take place this Thursday May 1st at 6 pm (to allow the NCC time following the meeting to clean and organize the chalet).
Our final meeting is open to the public and will take place in the chalet at the velodrome.
1479 Maple Ave, Northbrook IL
As we wrap up preparations for the 2025 season, we want to share with you a few exciting updates!
Our weekly newsletters will begin next week!
Brief Updates
—
Early Racing Number Pick-Up & Opening Night Pre-Reg + BIKE SWAP!
Make Opening Night easier on yourself and the NCC by registering and pickup up your racing number early on Monday May 12th! The NCC will be at the track from 6 to 8 pm. The Monday night clinic will take place as scheduled.
This year we are also hosting a bike swap. Have things you want to sell or are you looking for some new gear? Come by and see what is available!
We encourage everyone to renew your USA Cycling license now if it has expired or is close to expiring. Additionally, now that USA Cycling is doing a rolling renewal, your license may expire in the middle of the season. Renewing the day of a race or right before registering is difficult for our registration program to capture as USAC does not update their rider database in real time. Please help us out and try to renew your license before it expires! Log on to your USAC account to renew now or check when your USAC license expires.
