June 17, 2009 -The Hill is Back!!!
Due to overwhelming demand, it's been decided to include the Marquette Mountain hill in the race and NOT to neutralize it. We apologize if the change back doesn't sit well but from everything we've heard and it's been pretty strong voices, we need to keep the hill.
May 26, 2009 - Massages at SBF
We have two wondeful certified massage therapists (who are also members of the Marquette Mountain Ski Patrol) coming down to help all of you crazy bikers!

Natalie Rossow will also be available on Saturday for the Road Race, time and location to be announced. All massages are $10 for 10 minutes.
May 26, 2009 - Pavement
Road Racer, GREAT NEWS! MDOT is replacing the pavement from the southside of MQT to the crossroads intersection. This construction will be completed by the day of the State Championship Road Race (pause to wipe sweat from brow and calm your breathing).
May 26, 2009 - Jim's Tuesday Evening Musings
1. There is a friendlier Mountain Chase course coming your way.

May 26, 2009 - CRITERIUM RIDERS- PAY ATTENTION TO THIS!!!
Race order and start times are different than previous years. Please be sure to closely read the SBF Race Bible so that you do not miss your event! If you absolutely cannot wait for the much anticipated bible to come out, and feel like a little kid on Christmas morning in regards to this information, please e-mail jillgrundstrom@freichevy.com and she will let you know your event time.
May 26, 2009 - Kids at the Superior Bike Fest
The Marquette Arts and Culture Center, headed by Nikke Nason, will be downtown on Friday at The Commons hosting activities for kids! If you are a racer or spectator with children (or young at heart yourself,) please be sure to stop down. You may even see Jim and Donn making chalk drawings on the bare ice rink . . . definitely a sight to behold!
May 26, 2009 - New Sponsors
Hi Everyone! Be sure to check out the Sponors and Preferred Restaurants pages weekly to catch our new additions. Elizabeth's Chophouse (located right on Front Street) has recently come on board, along with our favorite Italian place, the Casa Calabria, the Northland Pub at The Landmark, Uprfont and Company (our gracious Friday evening awards host), and the fastest and tastiest sandwich this side of Lake Superior, Jimmy John's.
