Cranksgiving Chicago '08


Cranksgiving Chicago is back!! It's probably one of the most fun races of the year. Here's how Brean describes it: "If you're not familiar with this race, it takes place the weekend before Thanksgiving. There's no registration fee, but you're going to need to bring cash with you, because the checkpoints are all grocery stores. At these grocery stores, you're going to have to leave your bike outside, run in, and purchase a specified food item. A bag & a lock is absolutely essential! Once you've collected all of the food items and have finished the race, we do a group ride to drop off all of our donations. Keep all of your receipts, because I'm going to check them to make sure you made it to each of the checkpoints." The shenanigans inside the grocery stores are legendary, as people try to cut in line ahead of the other racers. Do not miss this race!
