Day 1
Team camp is based out of Washington, VA this year with guys showing up Thursday night and Friday morning for the first day. Beautiful sun and temps floating around 60 degrees made for a great first day. We rode up and over the mountain to Luray where we set up some TTT efforts. At approximately 15 minutes each we got some serious high intensity work in before rolling back over the mountain and home for a solid 4.5 hours.
Day 2
Day 2 saw a big ride with 5 climbs across the Shenandoah Valley. We enjoyed some awesome views and great roads. It rained overnight but stayed dry for the first half of our ride before rain came down over the middle 2 climbs. As we rolled across the valley we came across a concrete culvert that was flooded immediately follow a hard right turn, with no time to stop we blew right through it. So much for staying dry. I only wish someone had a video, somehow no one went down.
Dinner was served up by R, long time Kelly club and race team member who's house we were staying at. Hard to beat a big meal of chicken, sausage, pasta, garlic bread, and salad after a long ride. Murray and R are taking care of us real well at camp. It's been awesome.

Day 3
The final day brought an earlier start and shorter ride to get everyone home. While it was supposed to be an easy two hours followed by lead out practice or TTT practice the nasty wind and punchy rollers made it anything but. Still the lead out practice went well and we're pumped to practice it in a real race soon.
That wrapped up a great weekend of riding and getting to know the guys. Should be a great year!
