Training Camp 2006 Day 1

Today we kicked off the 2006 spring training camp. John, Chase and I are taking residence down town at friends place because the dorms are closed for the week. You don't know what you got till it's gone, and it may sound silly but having to buy, cook, and clean to eat is a pain especially when you're used to the all you can eat cafeteria. Today's ride was over fours and around seventy miles. We headed south because there was a 20mph gusting easterly wind that just wouldn't give up. We did the usual route south to Hwy 10 and then took some never seen before roads down and around hwy 121 to loop back. Today's ride had at least a dozen climbs around 200 feet which keep you humble, especially this time of year.

In other news I made a trip to NMU this past weekend to visit an old high school friend. I have never been to Marguette before but I was glad I made the drive. On the way through Ironwood I had to laugh because the snow banks were over 10 feet high, I guess I can't complain about a little sand on the roads in Eau Claire. I went to a car show in the biggest wooden dome in the world. I think my favorite car was the Solstice.

We'll keep you posted as the rides and action unfold!
