Cyclo-cross specialist Corey Coogan-Cisek is in her sixth season of racing full time in Belgium and will be blogging about her experiences as an American immersed in the heart of the 'cross scene. A former cross-country ski racer who competed in the trials for the 2006 Winter Olympics, Coogan-Cisek first raced mountain bikes before falling for 'cross and, each winter, leaves the comfort of home in Minnesota for Belgium where she competes in the World Cup and Superprestige series.
