The 3rd annual Run Forest Run 10k, 5k and kid’s fun run will be held Saturday October 24th at the Oakhurst Forest Preserve. In only 3 years this run has gone for a small church event to a professional timed race that supports local charities.

Yes Joe B. got some more press. He really is an inspiration to us all.

Anyone interested in helping organize an Endure It Team for Road, Crit, TT's and Cross Racing for 2010. Call Ron Good at 630-774-8745
I can see us mopping up in local TT's with so many great Triathletes! Remember there are plenty of age group, category as well as women's races and TT's every weekend starting in late March and running into September. Then its CycleCross! That may be one of the hottest new sports around and the local scene is big. Lets talk about it.

Last Day and All Work and No Play!

Ok so we didnt start until 10 am but it was almost all Day. Four Ibuprofen a couple cups of Joe and were all good.

Wait until you see the cool kits Endure It is bringing in for Spring/Summer. Capo Forma has Some great new fabrics and colors. it also looks like they have solved the dreaded rubber bands on the legs. As you can see above they clearly outdo themselves every year.

Here I pirated a VeloNews Review of the Giro Ionis Helmet that launched last year. Is it expensive, maybe, but what is more important than your Noggin'? Alright Dean, maybe thats number one, then noggin' second!

The new ProLight Helmet from Giro. This is postioned as the lightest helmet made. Very unique system with out the patented Roc Loc, it has a self adjusting webbing strap in the back and a three position temperal adjustment for a solid fit. it really feels like your wearing nothing. On your head I mean.

New Tri Bars from Easton. The rep really didnt have his S%$# together but you get the idea. full Adjustability.

We have some great video from Saris Cycleops, 2XU as well as Easton, Bell, Giro that i will upload in another post.

So stay tuned the foolishness is not over yet!
