Corey Coogan Cisek clicked in to the road bike to race in the popular Southside Sprints in Minneapolis. Corey reports:

"I did the "Southside Sprint" crit in S. MPLS and it was a blast.  It took place in a nice little neighborhood and there were a ton of spectators.  It was a good technical course with one small hill.  Most exciting, I stayed with the pack or 123 ladies the entire race, which was a huge achievement for me.  Historically, I have struggled with the speed if the course does not have a reasonable sized hill.  We will be at Elk River this coming weekend."

Its great to see team riders keeping active regardless the activity. Thanks to all for waving the flag for team Maplelag/Paramount Sports/Hollywood and skinnyski.com
