Today we rode Mt. Lemmon and there is still quite a bit of snow up there. It’s melting pretty fast and most of the recreational snow goers have moved on. Some leaving their toys behind. Brendan scored big this afternoon by finding a sweet neon green sled in the middle of the road.
He snagged it off the pavement mid-interval while holding 350 watts on his Powertap SL. We now have a good activity while waiting to regroup at 8000 feet on the top of Lemmon.
We are in the last couple of days of the February Hammer Camp and things are running smoothly. We had 19 riders summit Mt. Lemmon today which made for a total ride time of 5.5 hours. The Cycling House PowerTap Demo units are in use and the Hammer Campers are becoming well versed on how to fuel properly on and off the bike. Brian Frank and Jim Bruskewitz are endlessly fielding nutrition and training questions. It’s awesome to have such a wealth of knowledge around at all times.
Sam and Andy Schultz are cooking for 25 people and putting out the top notch meals they are known for. They’re also training 6+ hours a day which makes for some busy days at The Cycling House.
Jen Luebke and Brendan Halpin are running the rides and logistics for this camp. Taking athletes swimming, hiking, running and guiding all of the rides has been on their to-do list everyday. Jen and Brendan are putting in the big days of training for the upcoming Ironman in St. George. They are rocking both work at The Cycling House and work on the training side of things.
