Training Camp 2011

The past couple of years, a winter training camp has been an easy proposition since I was teaching and had about a month (paid) off of work. Since I’m working a job with a more “traditional” schedule, I hadn’t put much thought into trying to take a few days to dig myself into a bit of a training hole at the cabin. However, I’d stayed in touch with Nate (aka “Gorgeous” from the Shenandoah 100), and he asked if I’d be interested in showing him and some friends around the Syllamo trails for a day or two.

Hell yeah, I’d love to! Who are your friends?

Sue Haywood and her husband boyfriend.

Holy isht, Sue Haywood? She’s like, a total badass!

I was excited to hear that. Then, I got kinda nervous. It’s going to be a kinda nuts to play tour guide to someone who is such an awesome bike racer. Yes, I’m somewhat starstruck. It should be a good time, though. The rock gardens should be scared.

So, I took a couple of days off of work, and, since I don’t normally work weekends or wednesdays, will haveĀ  a nice little 5-day brick for some trail riding. Maybe I’ll finally learn how to ride wet rocks…

  1. Critique Sue on her riding as much as possible. She really needs the help. Tell her I said to ease up on the brakes a little.

  2. Tim is actually Sue’s bf, not hubby, but its all just titles and formalities anyway. We are stoked and let us not forget Collin, who will probably pushing the pace on his fixie, and leaving a wake of destruction in the form of broken hearts. Too bad you cant jump on board for the rest of the tour. See you soon
