The NO PHONE ZONE!





I am now a huge fan of Oprah. Her "NO PHONE ZONE" campaign is something I think all cyclists can get behind. Stop texting and driving, and stop talking and driving! Just drive.


We put ourselves at risk every time we mount a b

If you ride your bike on the Millennium Trail in Lake County, IL then chances are good that you know the intersection at Fair Field Road and Route 176.





What you may not know is the Lake County Department of Transportation (LCDOT) is hosting a public meeting to dis

New Veloist Jersey

We've redesigned our jersey and made a first order for a group that expressed interest. There are still some left.

If you're interested in buying one leave me a message here and tell me your size. If we have one you can purchase it for $65. If we don't have your size I will keep your name until our next order.

The new jerseys are made by Champion-Systems--full zip, three rear pockets and fit very much like the Voler sizes.

If you want one, just let me know and we'll see if we can get you look… Continue

Veltec Magazine online

So I was just surfing around and found this online magazine published by a distributor called Veltec. I think they're a Dutch company with some offices here in the US.

If you click on the image it will open another page full screen allowing you to flip the pages of the magazine. This is the '09 book, I guess I found it kinda late huh. Let me know if anyone sees the 2010 version. enjoy.

To answer your question...I mostly spin at the gym:) I saw your sign at Lindenhurst Health and Fitness Center for group riding. I normally do 2-3 triathlons a summer, with my longest distance being the Olympic. I do have a race bike, but haven't used it much except for during races because I have never had a group to bike with. I have only been in Illinois for 3 years and when I looked for biking groups...they have always been too far of a drive from home, so I thought I'd look into your group.

Fairly long time with GTE but we think of that as a Vanity Club, idiots who get up way too early. VQ, but not in the last couple years. Really looking forward to this.

Thanks Mike. The cold contest made what can be a difficult commute easier. Great contest and a great site. I'll remind my riding friends (again) that they should join The Veloist.
