Subaru Celebrity Challenge! It's the Chicago Fire Department vs. the Chicago Police Department This Weekend at the Subaru Chicago Bike Show
March 23, 2004

From ABD Press Release

Athletes By Design (ABD) presents this event in connection with their Indoor Time Trials Event.

A new special attraction will be held Saturday at the Subaru Chicago Bike Show at Navy Pier. "Chicago's Bravest" takes on "Chicago's Finest" for a team test of speed and stamina on a simulated course featuring no wind, hills, snow or traffic.

Five members from each the Fire and Police Departments will compete for a ten-minute period to claim a $1,000 donation sponsored by Subaru to benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation made in their department's honor.

The inaugural event will begin at 1 p.m., and will run in conjunction with ABD's Indoor Time Trial Series Race #5, where cyclists of all abilities can test their talent on a 10km course.

"We're thrilled to have the support of both the Chicago Fire and Police Departments in this friendly competition to help promote cycling while benefiting Lance Armstrong's Cancer Foundation", stated event organizer and ABD Club Member Lori Miller. "We applaud the efforts of these great sports who donated their time and pedal power, literally sweating for a cause."

Come down and cheer on your favorite team, as each member's mileage counts towards the team total. If you'd like to participate in a time trial yourself, call Mike Ebert at 630- 890-6767 to obtain a slot, or you can simply stop by the ABD Booth area to test a simulated course without competitive pressure.
