Team Camp

On my last day of Aussie warm weather, Amber and I enjoyed an easy spin around town and talked of our time in Australia and forward to the future of 2012 and what it holds in store for racing.

I took a couple of parting shots from an awesome coffee shop that was a staple in my riding schedule. Then the rest of the pictures started when I landed in Pescadero, CA.

We started team camp on Friday morning with visits to Specialized(bikes/helmets/shoes) and then on to Voler(team clothing). We stayed in San Luis Obispo for a couple of days for sponsor rides before heading further south to Carpinteria, CA where will be staying for the rest of camp time.

Getting to know the girls, sponsor commitments and comfy with each other is what it is all about. We are enjoying the riding, the warm weather and the beach, it's a great start to the season! Enjoy the pictures!

  1. It'll be exciting following you and Jenn-Purr and the rest of the team this season! BTW, I usually ordered the flat-whites, too, and then load them with a couple of sachets of raw sugar!!
