Winter Break Club Cycling Training

The annual cycling team winter training camp was held at a club members' house.  Team members who came to camp were: Cory Scott, Adam Harris, Greg Grosicki, Joseph O'Brien Applegate, Emily Anthony, Wilson Hale, and Ryan Burbey.  The Team rode every day, as weather or sub-30 degree temps didn't dissuade us.  Every member rode at least 350 miles this past week, with the maximum being 490 (Cory Scott).  It was a great time for getting base miles, improving bike handling skills, learning rules of the road, etc.  Other activities included splurging at a buffet restaurant one night, attending a maintenance clinic given by the local bike shop (Shenandoah Bicycle Co.), and frequenting thrift stores and discount grocery stores. 

Highlights: The entire team summited Reddish Knob, the highest point in the Shenandoah Valley with after a six mile climb.  A few members were able to do multiple hundred-mile days.  Camp was structured to allow the members to ride as little or as much as they were comfortable with. Another great winter training camp!
