North Iowa Spin, helped by countless volunteers, hosted another successful Bicycle, Blues & BBQ event downtown and around Clear Lake Saturday and Sunday. Rides were competitive, as well as fun, as evidenced by the kids free race.  Congratulations to Clear Lake’s own Tyler Curtis, who won the Men’s Pro 1/2 Criterium State Championship.
