Team Picture

Kits!!

This past weekend Jan.14-15 Th!nkFinance Cycling Team met at Possum Kingdom Lake, TX for a training camp. We were very lucky to have near perfect weather!!  After a 6.5 hr drive I arrived at team-mate Alex Gibson's condo, several of the Elite Team were there already having come down earlier.
 I was stoked to receive my bag full of team kits etc... Thanks Alex for doing so much in getting everything ready.
Saturday morning after a restless night I woke up feeling half-sick! I manged to hold down some food and after some deliberating I decided to go ahead and ride, that's what I came to do right??
We had a group of 17 including the women's team. After about 4.5 hrs we got back to the cabins and then several of us headed back out to get some more miles in... I ended up with 98 miles so it wasn't too bad for me not feeling very good!!
Saturday evening we all gathered together for dinner and then afterwards we worked on our racing schedule for '12. Exciting!!!
Sunday I woke up feeling almost 100%, we had another beautiful day albeit a very windy one!! We lost some of our number so we didn't have quite as big a group. Some of us chose a longer route than the rest of the team so we manged 82 miles. After some solid climbing and some race simulation provided by Todd Farrell my legs were pretty tired!!

Caleb Fuchs: Our strong-man!

All in all a very good weekend, thanks to everybody who helped make this possible..... Now looking forward to our first race on the 21st in Copperas Cove, TX. Stay tuned...
