Camp...

After a sweet few weeks soaking up the NZ summer I was SFO bound for team training camp starting on the 16^th of feb.

Camp was cool, getting to know the girls, sponsors and some sweet rides.

Our first ride was out of the beautifull Mill valley and up Mt Tama, such a cool ride with AMAZING views, it's one of those rides that should def be on the to do list!

The weather was awesome and super warm for the first day buuuuut

Next up we had rain and freezing temps! So much so it snowed up on Skyline…which doesn’t happen very often in Sunny Cali, but still... a lot warmer than it has been in Europe for sure!

On Thursday we started our ride at Stanford with the Canary foundation and rode part of the canary challenge loop. For those who don’t know who/ what the Canary foundation are, the are researching and developing was for early detection and invention of cancer. Such a good foundation. Get behind them, and enter the Canary challenge which takes in the amazing riding that Nor Cal had to offer in September.

Up next was team time trial and lead out training on Canada road… hopefully we have this dialed in for our fist TTT coming up! After this was a sweet nutrition talk from Dr. Stacy Sims from OSMO nutrition – I now know 100% more about pre, during and post work out nutrition now – and I think a lot of people will agree OSMO defiantly have the best nutrition products on the market.

Was and awesome week spent with the team, and on Saturday night/ Sunday morn (12.45am) 6 of us flew to El Salvador!

So far all is going well here, had a nice wee soul soothing spin around the cost this AM followed by lunch and a couple of pool/beach swims here….

Not a bad place to end a ride ;)

Stay tuned for more updates to come!
