Join us for the Chicago Cyclocross Cup Race #11, the Melas CX – Basin Racin’ in Mount Prospect. Bring the family. Higher Gear will be there with a tent, light mechanical support, food, cowbell, music and more. Chicago Chiropractic & Sports Medicine will join us too, providing treatments to racers and spectators.

Gearheads should ensure they register as a Higher Gear – Gear Head Cyclocross Racing team member by selecting club number 11520. You need to get an annual pass so that your points are added to our team points; day passes don’t count. As a reminder, the 4A and 4B categories are good races for people new to the sport. The junior category is also appropriate for the younger riders.

Register online at BikeReg.com by Friday, November 16th. (If spots are still available, registration will re-open 7:30am race day.)

Dr. Jon Sebby, DC, ART Provider, and Paul Matthews, Certified Rolfer, will be providing Active Release Technique and Rolfing treatments (deep-tissue bodywork) at the AHFD SuperCross event. Stop by the Chicago Chiropractic & Sports Medicine tent to receive your complimentary treatment and to grab a water bottle and Rolfing coupon. Treatments are available to both racers and spectators.
