SUMMARY:SKR Dr Craig Schultz Memorial 20k-40k TT
DESCRIPTION:Race Flyer \nThe Dr Craig Schultz Memorial 20k-40k TT (Time Trial)\, sponsored by Stray Kats Racing and hosted by the Wisconsin-Illinois Cycling Association (WIIL Cycle)\, is a heartfelt tribute race in Cordova\, IL\, starting at the Cordova Township Civic Center (910 3rd Ave S\, Cordova\, IL 61242). This American Bicycle Racing (ABR)-sanctioned event begins at 9:01 AM CDT\, with riders launching every minute as part of the Mid America Time Trial Series (MATTS). Offering 20 km (12.4 miles) for juniors and 70+ masters or 40 km (24.8 miles) for others\, this flat\, fast course welcomes all levels—juniors\, masters\, and open categories—honoring Dr. Schultz\, a cyclist and physician killed in 2008. Stray Kats Racing\, a southern Wisconsin grassroots crew\, awards trophies to the top 3 overall and MATTS medallions for category winners (e.g.\, Seniors\, Masters\, Recumbents). Register at wiilcycle.org/register for $30 (adults) or $15 (juniors) – on-site adds $10\, opening at 7:45 AM. Post-race\, gather in the air-conditioned Civic Center for awards and snacks\, a standout among Illinois cycling events. \nThe course is a dead-flat out-and-back\, starting at the Civic Center off IL-84. Riders head north along IL-84\, tracing the Mississippi River\, with one turn onto a rural stretch (e.g.\, 150th Ave N)\, hitting a 10 km (20k) or 20 km (40k) turnaround in the road before racing back. Elevation is minimal (<50 ft)\, with smooth pavement through Cordova’s open farmland – perfect for 25-30 mph efforts. Wind exposure is high\, with little cover from cornfields\, demanding focus on pacing. Open to traffic\, safety is critical – ride right\, use a rear red blinker (highly recommended)\, and follow marshals. Course records (40k: Jeff Otto\, 52:01 @ 28.67 mph; Leigh Thompson\, 58:26 @ 25.24 mph) set the bar—test your speed on this Midwest classic. \nDr Craig Schultz Memorial 20k-40k TT Weather\nMid-July weather in Cordova brings hot\, humid conditions\, with morning temperatures ranging from 75-85°F at the 9:01 AM start – expect a sweaty\, intense ride. Humidity averages 80-90%\, amplifying the heat—bring two bottles per rider for hydration. Winds blow at 8-12 mph\, often from the south or southwest\, offering a tailwind one way and headwind the other – pace wisely. There’s a 30-40% chance of scattered showers or thunderstorms\, though mornings often hold clear – check forecasts closer to race day for gear adjustments. \nTravel Directions\n\nFrom Milwaukee\, WI (160 miles southwest): Take I-94 W south ~80 miles to I-294 S\, go south 20 miles to I-88 W\, follow 50 miles to IL-78 N (Exit 44)\, head north 15 miles to IL-84 N\, then 10 miles to 910 3rd Ave S (2.5-3 hr drive).\nFrom Madison\, WI (140 miles southeast): Drive south on I-90 E ~80 miles to I-39 S\, take I-88 W 40 miles to IL-78 N (Exit 44)\, go north 15 miles to IL-84 N\, then 10 miles to 910 3rd Ave S (2.25-2.5 hr drive).\nFrom Chicago\, IL (110 miles southwest): Take I-88 W ~90 miles to IL-78 N (Exit 44)\, head north 15 miles to IL-84 N\, then 10 miles to 910 3rd Ave S (2-2.25 hr drive).\n\nRegister \nCheck out our recommendations on where to stay\, eat and visit in Moline\, IL.
