Powerade/IF took the top 5 places at the 2nd Spoke-n-Sport series criterium on Thursday evening May 14th.
Situated at a industrial park on the north edge of Sioux Falls, the .70 mile course features 3 corners and a big curve. It's slightly downhill after the first and second corners into a curving stretch that kicks up a bit to the third corner and gradually inclines through the start/finish strait. The weather served up a 10mph north wind, clouding up skies and a temp around 60 degrees.
