October 16, 2006 (Carpentersville, IL.) – The race attracted 126 finishers, an increase of nineteen riders when compared to 2005. Among the competitors was Robbie Ventura, formerly from the USPS Pro Cycling Team.

At race time, the weather was partly cloudy, with no wind and a temperature of mid 40 Fahrenheit.

The Carpenter Park course is flat, non-technical, with a small hill run up and a creek crossing; a perfect venue for the beginner to advance racer.

In the last few weeks, the series added two additional sponsors. Local bike shop, Yojimbo’s Garage of Chicago donated three 2007 Fuji cyclocross framesets for raffle prizes. Each racer is be given one entry into the raffle for every race entered. Racers have multiple opportunities to win the frame set.

Alpha Q has signed on as series sponsor for the Men’s Cat 3 and Women’s Cat 1/2/3 races. Winners of the overall series in these categories will be awarded an Alpha Q CX20 cyclocross.
