Red Bull, Paint, Tools
What's goin on my internet friends? Once again, Tink here to keep you in the know on all things University of Minnesota Cycling Team news.
Last Monday Paul Stewart and I (Andrew Rosch) participated in Red Bull Ride The Sky. We raced with 50 other mountain bikers through the St. Paul skyway and railed corners on carpet, tile, and marble. Paul landed 13th, and I sandbagged for 41st. It was a blast, and a big thanks goes out to Buck and Red bull for putting on a totally sweet event. check out these links:

Secondly, the team did a little community service Saturday when we painted the kitchen and office of the Continental Hotel in downtown Mpls. The Continental is just one property of The Central Community Housing Trust's many metro area locations. Their work is an important part of providing Minnesotans with affordable housing, and we had a great time helping them give the place a facelift.
Finally, the team bought a whole bunch of tools and supplies for outfitting our sweet bike trailer this week. Mostly things from Park, we're fully stocked to handle any race-day disasters that might arrive. Party on, Wayne.
