This past week was the first camp for Team Exergy in 2012 in Boise Idaho. This camp is unlike any other camp you may read about on cycling websites. Usually when you think of a pro cycling team camp you think about new gear and lots of riding, but this was the opposite. With many new faces to Team Exergy for 2012 including riders, staff and sponsors, this was the time to meet everyone face to face and build relationships. There was no riding our Felt bikes this week as we had a busy busy schedule to tackle.
To get our first race jitters out of the way we all went Go-karting to see who was ready to go fast. When you get a lot of competitive people together in one place everything turns into a competition. Of course the obvious is the fastest lap time which Ben walked away with very easily, you also get other types of competition. Like who can drift there car the best, or who can beat the manager, or I succeeded at having my front wheel fly off 3 laps into the race and had to change karts.

Then we had a day where we listened to all of our sponsors talk about their product and how it was going to help us succeed in 2012. It was very interesting learning and knowing what products we all will be using so we then can educate others about it.

Then the last day was very serious as we want to gain seconds anyway we can to win races. This sums it up pretty good. Enjoy!

Home for another week until Colorado before I head off to Team Exergy camp in California, where we will get plenty of sunshine and miles in the legs. This week can't go by fast enough as Colorado already has a foot of snow over night and still coming.
Thanks for reading.
