Final Preparations

We are in final week leading up to IronCamp West Coast, and I am getting fired up. Looks like we will be fielding a smaller squad than anticipated, but it's all good as we have some serious learning to do for version 2.0 next year...and beyond. This is our first point-to-point camp, and it brings with it a whole host of new challenges.

While all the logistical stuff is daunting, it's the actual riding that I am most fired up about. Six days and over 450 miles of some of the best roads that CA has to offer. Having been locked up on my trainer every winter for the last five years, this is going to be sooooooooo welcome.

The goal of the camp was to (A) do cool sh$t and (B) build some serious fitness. I think we can safely say that (A) has been taken care of...now all we have to do is get to work on Part B. Noticeable changes with this camp include little to no running, and definitely no swimming. All cycling. All the time. I won't even be bringing my tri bike...I am a full-on roadie for this trip.

The group converges on San Francisco on the 18th...and then we are underway. Stay tuned for more details and daily updates!!!
