Honorary lap at the Northbrook Velodrome
The Northbrook Cycle Committee has invited us to their bicycle races this evening. We are told that they will honor us with a plaque and a lap around the track before the pro races. And we thought our fifteen minutes of fame were over!
The Northbrook (IL) Star has an article today describing our trip. Also, check out the Daily Herald.
(Late update: races were cancelled due to rain. Our honorary lap was rescheduled to the evening of August 21st.)
