Mini-Training Camp

Race season is right around the corner so Mighty decided on a little trip to work on the form. Some teams head south to warmer climes but there is nothing like some of the BC roads to harden you up. We piled into the vehicles and headed a few hours up to Lillooet where there is no such thing as a flat road and the winds test your mental toughness. Throw in a little gravel and snow and the Spring Series suddenly looks like a recovery ride...

The sun was out as we hit the road on day one.

Day two was sunny but about 1.5 hours in the Bridge River valley gets a little shady and as the elevation gained, the white stuff was part of the day.

A little debris on the road doesn't stop any self-respecting CX team.

Quick, somebody teach me how to shoulder a bike.

The climbing kept us warm.

Meat pondering... The first dam and day two turn-aound point is right around the corner.

Earlier in the day two ride. The gravel roads were awesome.

The view we enjoyed for the three days of Nick Berry leading us up all the climbs. But he was also our chef who kept us fueled for more punishment with incredibly tasty and healthy food.

Just a mini-training camp but we are already trying to decide when we are going back. Most likely we will frequent the area a few times this spring/summer as the riding/scenery was incredible. Best part was in three days there were ZERO stop lights...
