It's highly front loaded due to the impact of TOAD and Superweek and the "New as yet named after Superweek TOAD run stage race in Illinois". Illinois racing as far as local promotions is essentially done as soon as June rolls around. Kind of pathetic actually.

Once August rolls around everyone is on cross it seems. Kelli said the following in our meeting the other night, "nothing says 'cyclocross' like 'August 1st'." Just the way it is now. Now with it this way you have local clubs having to beat each other up for dates in April and May. This will continue as long as cross is so popular and ToAD and SW keep getting traffic.
