SUMMARY:WCW Bryce Master 19k TT
DESCRIPTION:Race Flyer \nCourse Map \nThe Bryce Master 19k TT (Time Trial)\, sponsored by WCW and hosted by the Wisconsin-Illinois Cycling Association (WIIL Cycle)\, is a fast-paced solo race in Harvard\, IL\, at Milky Way Park (300 Lawrence Rd\, Harvard\, IL 60033). This American Bike Racing (ABR)-sanctioned event starts at 8:30 AM CDT\, with riders launching every minute as part of the Mid America Time Trial Series (MATTS). The 19-kilometer (11.8-mile) course welcomes all levels—juniors\, masters\, and open categories – offering a flat\, open challenge ideal for speed enthusiasts.  WCW brings grassroots passion with medals for the top 5 per category and cash prizes ($30 for fastest overall\, $25 for second\, $20 for third\, plus women’s and juniors’ awards). Register at wiilcycle.org/register for $30 (adults) or $15 (juniors 18 & under) – on-site adds $10\, opening at 7:00 AM. \nThe course is a swift out-and-back\, starting at Milky Way Park’s lot off Lawrence Road. Riders head southwest on Flat Iron Road (road changes its name in Boone County to Angling Road) reaching a 9.7 km turnaround at Mill Road before racing back. It’s nearly flat (<75 ft elevation)\, with smooth pavement cutting through McHenry and Boone Counties’ farmland and prairie\, great for 15 to 30+mph efforts. Open fields offer little wind protection\, but the simplicity keeps focus on power. Open to traffic\, safety is critical – ride right\, use a rear red blinker (highly recommended)\, and follow course marshals. Past results (e.g.\, 2025’s Bryce Master TT) showed a top time of 27:01 – speed rules this Illinois TT. \nBryce Master 19k TT Weather\nLate July/Early August weather in Harvard brings warm\, humid conditions\, with morning temperatures ranging from 70-80°F at the 8:30 AM start – expect a balmy kickoff. Humidity averages 75-85%\, making it sticky and sweat-heavy – bring two bottles for hydration. Winds blow steady at 10-15 mph\, often from the south or southwest\, offering a tailwind one way and a headwind the other—pace with care. There’s a 30-40% chance of scattered showers or thunderstorms\, though early mornings tend to stay dry – check forecasts closer to race day to adjust gear. \nTravel Directions\n\nFrom Milwaukee\, WI (60 miles southwest): Take I-94 W south ~40 miles to I-43 S\, exit at WI-120 S (Exit 36)\, go south 10 miles to IL-173 W\, turn right\, follow 8 miles to Lawrence Rd\, then right to 300 Lawrence Rd (1-1.25 hr drive).\nFrom Kenosha\, WI (35 miles west): Head west on WI-50 W for ~20 miles\, merge onto IL-173 W via US-12\, continue 12 miles\, turn right onto Lawrence Rd to 300 Lawrence Rd (45-55 min drive).\nFrom Madison\, WI (80 miles southeast): Drive east on I-90 E for ~60 miles\, exit at IL-23 S (Exit 36)\, go south 15 miles to IL-173 E\, turn left\, follow 3 miles\, then left onto Lawrence Rd to 300 Lawrence Rd (1.5-1.75 hr drive).\nFrom Chicago\, IL (65 miles northwest): Take I-90 W north ~55 miles\, exit at IL-173 W (Exit 8)\, head west 8 miles\, turn right onto Lawrence Rd to 300 Lawrence Rd (1-1.5 hr drive).\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Rock River Multisport Return to Cherry Valley 20k TT
DESCRIPTION:Race Flyer \nGet ready to race against the clock at the Return to Cherry Valley 20k TT (Time Trial)\, a Midwest cycling highlight hosted by Rock River Multisport under the Wisconsin-Illinois Cycling Association (WIIL Cycle) banner. This American Bicycle Racing (ABR)-sanctioned event takes place at Deer Run Forest Preserve in Cherry Valley\, IL (5691 River Rd\, Cherry Valley\, IL 61016)\, kicking off at 8:00 AM CDT. Part of the Mid America Time Trial Series (MATTS)\, this 20-kilometer (12.4-mile) solo challenge welcomes riders of all levels—juniors\, masters\, and open categories—to test their speed on a flat\, fast course near the scenic Kishwaukee River. Sponsored by Rock River Multisport\, a Stateline-area club passionate about endurance sports\, the event blends grassroots camaraderie with competitive edge\, offering medals (top 5 per category) and cash prizes ($30 for fastest overall\, women\, and juniors). Register online at wiilcycle.org/register for $30 (adults) or $15 (juniors 18 & under)—on-site adds $10\, open 6:30 AM race day. \nThe course is a classic out-and-back\, starting at Deer Run’s main parking lot off River Road. Riders head west along River Rd\, tracing the Kishwaukee River’s south branch\, then turn north onto a quiet stretch of rural pavement (likely Blackhawk Rd or a parallel route)\, hitting the turnaround at 10k before looping back. Expect a mostly flat profile—minimal elevation (~50-75 ft total)—with smooth asphalt and occasional chip-seal patches\, ideal for sustained 25-30 mph efforts. The preserve’s 675.6 acres feature restored prairie and floodplain forest\, offering golden fields and river views\, though the race stays on public roads\, not trails. \nCherry Valley 20k TT Weather\nExpect August’s typical 75-85°F temperatures\, with highs often reaching the low 80s and humidity averaging 70-80%—warm and sticky for the 8:00 AM start. Winds blow steady at 10-15 mph\, often from the south or southwest\, offering a tailwind outbound but a headwind on the return leg—plan your pacing accordingly. Late summer brings a 30-40% chance of scattered showers or thunderstorms\, though mornings are usually clear; check forecasts closer to race day. Hydration is critical—bring extra water for the heat and potential sweat-soaking conditions.\n  \nDirections\nTravel to Deer Run Forest Preserve is straightforward. From Rockford\, IL (10 miles northwest): Take IL-2 S to Cherry Valley\, turn left onto River Rd—look for the preserve entrance on your right after ~2 miles (15-20 min drive). From Chicago\, IL (80 miles southeast): Head west on I-90 W for ~70 miles\, exit at IL-173 W (Rockton Rd)\, go south to IL-2\, then left onto River Rd to 5691 River Rd (1.5-2 hr drive). Public Transit: From Chicago\, take Metra’s UP-NW line to Harvard\, then a rideshare (Uber/Lyft\, ~$30-$40\, 30 min) to Cherry Valley—check schedules\, as rural service is limited. Parking is ample at Deer Run’s lot\, with picnic tables\, a well\, and outhouses nearby—post-race snacks await finishers. Rock River Multisport’s local sponsors (e.g.\, bike shops\, fitness centers) fuel this Illinois cycling event\, making it a must-ride in WIIL Cycle’s slate—join us at wiilcycle.org! \nRegister
