SUMMARY:[Coming Soon] ABR Illinois TT Championship 20-30k
DESCRIPTION:Race Flyer \nThe Illinois TT Championship 20-30k\, sponsored by American Bicycle Racing (ABR) and hosted by the Wisconsin-Illinois Cycling Association (WIIL Cycle)\, is a premier solo race in Garden Prairie\, IL\, starting at the SESI High Road Therapeutic School parking lot (7133 Garden Prairie Rd\, Garden Prairie\, IL 61038). This ABR-sanctioned event\, a crown jewel of the Mid America Time Trial Series (MATTS)\, begins at 9:01 AM CDT\, with riders launching every minute to compete for state titles. Offering 20 km (12.4 miles) for juniors and masters 70+ or 30 km (18.6 miles) for others\, this flat-to-rolling course draws top talent across all levels—juniors\, masters\, and open categories. ABR\, dedicated to promoting cycling (ambikerace.com)\, awards Illinois Championship jerseys to category winners\, plus cash prizes ($40 for fastest overall\, $30 for second\, $20 for third\, across men\, women\, and juniors). Register at wiilcycle.org/register for $35 (adults) or $20 (juniors)—on-site adds $10\, opening at 7:30 AM. Post-race\, celebrate with awards and snacks\, a standout among Illinois cycling events. \nThe course is a fast out-and-back\, starting just south of US-20 on Garden Prairie Rd. Riders head south\, navigating a relatively flat route with a few rollers (elevation ~100-150 ft total)\, hitting a 10 km (20k) or 15 km (30k) turnaround before racing back. Smooth pavement winds through Boone County’s rural farmland\, ideal for 25-30 mph efforts\, though open fields amplify wind exposure. Roads are open to traffic—ride right\, use a rear red blinker (highly recommended)\, and heed marshals; warm-ups are restricted to north of US-20 for safety. Past Garden Prairie TTs show top 30k times around 40-45 minutes—bring your speed to claim an Illinois TT title. \nIllinois TT Championship 20-30k Weather\nMid-June weather in Garden Prairie offers warm\, pleasant conditions\, with morning temperatures ranging from 65-75°F at the 9:01 AM start—comfortable yet warming quickly. Humidity averages 65-75%\, adding a slight stickiness—bring a bottle or two for hydration. Winds blow at 8-12 mph\, often from the south or southeast\, providing a tailwind one way and headwind the other—pace strategically. There’s a 25-35% chance of light showers\, though mid-June mornings are typically dry—check forecasts closer to race day for gear tweaks. \nTravel Directions\n\nFrom Milwaukee\, WI (70 miles southwest): Take I-94 W south ~40 miles to I-43 S\, exit at WI-120 S (Exit 36)\, go south 15 miles to US-20 W\, turn right\, follow 12 miles to Garden Prairie Rd\, turn right to 7133 Garden Prairie Rd (1.25-1.5 hr drive).\nFrom Madison\, WI (90 miles southeast): Drive east on I-90 E ~70 miles\, exit at IL-23 S (Exit 36)\, go south 10 miles to US-20 E\, turn left\, follow 8 miles to Garden Prairie Rd\, turn left to 7133 Garden Prairie Rd (1.5-1.75 hr drive).\nFrom Chicago\, IL (60 miles northwest): Take I-90 W ~50 miles\, exit at Genoa Rd (Exit 25)\, go north 5 miles to US-20 W\, turn right\, follow 5 miles to Garden Prairie Rd\, turn right to 7133 Garden Prairie Rd (1-1.25 hr drive).\n\nRegister
