SUMMARY:SKR Kankakee 20k TT
DESCRIPTION:Race Flyer \nThe Kankakee 20k TT (Time Trial) rolls is a cornerstone of Illinois cycling\, sponsored by Stray Kats Racing in the heart of Kankakee County. This solo race against the clock pits riders against a flat\, fast 20-kilometer course along the Kankakee River – a perfect stage for triathletes\, road racers\, and first-timers alike to test their speed and stamina. Known as “The Race of Truth\,” time trials strip cycling to its core: you\, your bike\, and pure effort – no drafting\, no pack tactics\, just power versus time. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or dipping into competitive cycling\, the Kankakee 20k TT offers a welcoming\, grassroots vibe amid Illinois’ wide-open prairie. \nThe Course: Flat\, Fast\, and Midwest-Fresh\nThe Kankakee 20k TT course is a classic out-and-back\, starting and near Splash Valley WaterPark. Riders head east on River Road\, then loop back after 10k—mostly flat with a slight rise over the I-57 overpass. Asphalt and chip-seal surfaces are in good shape\, offering smooth rolling despite rural charm. Expect: \n\nTerrain: Flat (0-1% grades)\, minimal elevation (~50 ft)—ideal for 25-30 mph efforts.\nScenery: Golden fields\, the Kankakee River’s edge\, and occasional barns—pure Midwest vistas.\nConditions: May brings 60-75°F temps\, 60-70% humidity\, and 10-15 mph winds—tailwind out\, headwind back (or vice versa).\n\nOpen to traffic\, the course demands caution—ride right\, use a rear red blinker (highly recommended)\, and watch intersections (marshals assist). It’s less technical than Wisconsin’s hilly TTs\, making it a speed lover’s dream and a forgiving intro for newbies. Strava data from past years shows top riders averaging 26-28 mph—can you beat it? \nWhy Ride the Kankakee 20k TT?\nThis TT isn’t just another race—it’s a Midwest cycling rite. Here’s why it belongs on this year’s calendar: \n\nSolo Glory: No pack to chase—just your power against the clock\, a true test of fitness.\nAccessibility: The Road Bike category levels the field—ride what you’ve got\, no TT bike required.\nCommunity Vibe: WIIL Cycle’s grassroots spirit shines—post-race chats at Splash Valley unite riders of all stripes.\nStrategic Edge: For triathletes or road racers\, it’s a pacing and aero lab—skills that carry to bigger events.\n\nKankakee’s Cycling Legacy\nKankakee County has quietly grown into an Illinois cycling hub\, with the 20k TT building on events like the Two Rivers Century. Its flat roads—once farm paths—now host speed demons and endurance riders alike. WIIL Cycle tapped this vibe\, making the Kankakee 20k a staple since its grassroots debut. Local lore ties it to the river’s flow—steady\, strong\, and unyielding—mirroring the TT’s solo ethos. Past winners averaged 27 mph\, but every finisher adds to the story. \n9 am start\, with one minute intervals. Day of event opens 8 am. \nKankakee 20k TT Entry Fees\n\nAdults $30\nJuniors 18 & under $15\n2nd race $10\nABR membership required: purchase one day $10 ($5 for Junior) or Annual $30\, ($10 for Junior)\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:[Coming Soon] 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
