Day 2 of our training weekend is always the one that tests more than just the legs. There were 13 brave riders, (Alex, Dave S, Warren, Phil, Abdean, Jim B, Jennifer, Sue L, Jimmy, Dave C, Dan B, Nick and Brent), that launched from the hotel at approximately 09:00 hrs. Again, the weather was near ideal with sunshine and low, (but chilly) winds. Each year two groups are formed to follow varied length routes. This year 6 riders, (Warren, Abdean, Jennifer, Dan B, Nick & Brent), took an extended route out to Starbuck for a few extra miles. As you can see from the elevation gain not only did the group get in some good saddle time we also took on some climbing challenges, all with great success! I was extremely proud of the entire team as we all worked in further developing both our physical and mental toughness. Just what we need in the early season. The other 7 riders also got a great ride in at approximately 84 miles and once again, (thankfully), no mechanicals, no injuries! Great day on the bike and an outstanding time of socializing over dinner that followed. (Oh yes, can't forget the awesome "pre-func")
