MACDC CAMP WEEKEND - Time to shop

Morgan, Alicia, Ethan and I went to Sam's Club to buy food for the Mid - Atlantic Cycling Development Camp. We are planning on feeding about 60 cyclists for most of the weekend.

We filled the entire truck bed with food. Morgan had to make some additional trips to the store for some items they we overlooked. We had to take 2 cars to camp because we had 3 bikes, our gear for the weekend, Katie(the dog) and all the food. We went through 10 pounds of bacon along with almost 10 pounds of pancake mix at Saturday morning's breakfast. For Saturday's dinner we went through 12 pounds of pasta and 2 Large bags of meatballs.

Here is a picture of what some of the food we bought.

Velo Bella Mid-Atlantic Retreat Weekend

We started our weekend with our awesome bike Mechanic checking out everyone's bike before our ride through the battlefield. It was a bit chilly, but the sun was out and it made it at least feel a bit warmer. Our Saturday ride we went for 15.3 miles. It was a really fun ride. Next stop, off to some wineries.

Day one of my training adventure!

I finally decided to get a coach and actually train for races instead of just being on my bike during the races. What a novel idea!

Last year was less than stellar, but I did get alot of experience(in being last)as well as just doing the whole race thing. This will be my third year racing. I would not say I have been racing seriously or anything. I just went out and did it and hoped to finish and have fun while doing it.
