Midwest Treffen 15 Weekend Schedule
Below is our outline for our full weekend of events. Make sure to arrive early, so you don't miss your chance to register, you never know when you'll get a flat, run into Chicago traffic, or be taken the long way by your GPS. So don't end up parked in the spectator lot!
