This is my current dillemma -- I'm riding to Evanston on Sunday to race. I can't carry an extra set of wheels with me. Do I race on my chewed up training tires or do I ride my race wheels to Evanston and risk my racing tires on all the broken glass between Logan Square and Evanston? Or do I just get new training tires and use those? This is taking way too much thought.

I wonder who is driving the tent up? Maybe a bunch of us can leave our racing wheels with that person?

Good idea -- my race is really late in the day, though.

User your race wheels and ride the Red Line up to Howard, then jump on the Purple line and get off at Davis.

Superweek has neutral support with Zipp pit wheels.

The El will take almost an hour just to Howard unless they've done a ton of work on the slow zones this summer.

Use an old innertube to tie your race wheels together into a sling that you can throw over your shoulder. It's much more comfortable if you take the skewers out and point the cassette away from your body.

Heh, I'll bet it is. But how does it work with a messenger bag?

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys!
