[Ed Rudolph Velodrome (Northbrook, IL) - General Email List] Ed Rudolph Communique: Madison, Race Schedule, Results, and more

[imelda at northbrookvelodrome.org]

Dear Riders,

We have been busy compiling all the statistics and we invite you to  
visit http://www.northbrookvelodrome.org/schedule to keep abreast of  
the upcoming races.  In addition, don't forget to check out the  
results, ROTY, Women's Participation and Garner Cup standings because  
the various spots are changing like musical chairs.  Check it out at  
http://www.northbrookvelodrome.org/results

Please note that the PRO/1/2 Madison will be held this week. Since we  
do not have the Madison jerseys, teams will be able to compete using  
their regular team jerseys. However, only one team per jersey design  
will be allowed.  For example, if Turin or Alberto's would like to  
field multiple teams, each team will need to use a different iteration  
of the club's jersey - no more than one team with the same design

Please note that registration opens at 5:30 p.m. and closes at 6:30  
p.m. Racing begins at 6:45 p.m.  We request that you adjust your  
schedules accordingly.
