Last night, we met up with the Hagen's to watch the Uptown Minneapolis Criterium, part of the Nature Valley Grand Prix. We spotted Floyd "Roid" Landis in the race and somehow I got a close-up shot of him speeding by.
The criterium is new this year in the Uptown area. Last year it was in Downtown Minneapolis (and we were there with Hagen's and Ani- who was barely 2 weeks old!). Starting and finishing at 31st Street and Hennepin, the 1-kilometer course featured long straightaways and tight turns that provided ridiculous speeds in the high 30-mph range, and the potential for crashes and wipeouts, though we personally did not witness any.
