2011 Southside Sprint - Balance Cycling

7-24-2011 - New Criterium race for the city of Minneapolis, Mn. One of the last crits of the year before cyclo-cross takes hold of the area. Balance Cycling showed up with numbers today to partake in an excellently run venue with an excellently selected course.

Hats off to the organizers for an awesome maiden voyage, and to the racers that showed up and gave it their all. No accidents in the 3/4's that I'm aware of.

Having team-mates to for support really helps you to push past what is possible in your mind. I still watch this video from time to time in disbelief, as it was above and beyond what I normally can accomplish. Hoping that training in the off-season makes it just a little easier for next year :).

Brandon and Ben. I pulled off to the outside which was where they were over-taking me. Not much room between me and the curb :)

I was at the races yesterday a spectator and saw your camera on your helmet and immediately thought I hope he puts that on YouTube. Very cool thanks for posting I will be riding in the next CAT 5 I can find and this perspective give me a better understanding of what to expect. I love that I can see you speed and heart rate what’s the other number? Again thanks for posting!!!
