The March meeting was a big one!
First off, the ICA board would like to thank Kai Luan of Indigo Cycling Chicago for his service over the last two years as Secretary and then Vice President. Kai has some exciting things happening ahead and made the decision not to run again. We’re grateful for the time, effort, and energy he put into the ICA, and we wish him the very best!
We’re also excited to announce that Lena Mitsuuchi has been elected as the new Vice President of the ICA board. Lena is a staple in the off-road and cyclocross racing community and races with 606 Racing.
“I want to serve on the Illinois Cycling Association board because I know I’m not the only one whose life has been wildly transformed by this sport. Somewhere out there is a person who needs exactly what cycling gave me. I want to help build and protect that access for them.”
We’re really looking forward to seeing what Lena will bring to cyclists across Illinois.
The ICA is proud to announce that the Edwardsville Rotary Criterium has been selected as the 2026 Illinois State Criterium Championship. The race will take place August 15th in Edwardsville, featuring its famous night race format and giant purses.

For 2026, the ICA board has decided that only Categories 1, 2, and 3 will be eligible for State Championship consideration. This decision was made for several reasons and reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen participation and competition at the highest levels.
Juniors and Masters categories will remain unchanged.
Mountain bike and Gravel categories will be decided at a later date.
The 2026 Illinois State Championship Jersey has been updated — and we can’t wait to share it with you. Stay tuned for the official reveal soon!
Hi Everyone,
While we may have missed hosting board elections in January, we’re making it right and holding them now.
With two-year terms in place, the positions of Vice President and Treasurer are up for election.
Kai has served as our VP for the past year but was originally elected as Secretary two years ago, so his term is now complete. Kai does not plan to run again but is willing to remain in the VP role if no other candidates step forward.
Brenda — everyone’s favorite race personality and the tireless manager of all things USAC judges and referees at our events — is also up for re-election as Treasurer.
If you’re interested in running for either position, please reach out via social media, email, text, or however you prefer. Include:

What you believe could be improved or prioritized
Submissions deadline will be our next meeting on March 11, and voting will take place during the following week. If only one candidate runs for a position, the board will vote, with the President serving as the tiebreaker if needed.
Looking forward to seeing new faces step up — and as always, see you at the races.
