Cycling BC in Tucson AZ!

Made my transfer from the National team camp down here, to the Cycling BC provincial team camp. First was far from good, as it was very shitty out, haven't ridden in the rain for ages. And the teams moron leader(myself..) got everyone lost...Other than that the last few days have been just exquisite, big words from a cyclist, I know. Day 2 was a long one for some, group a rode 165 km with a 40 min team time trial at tempo, I myself was sick, and chose to sit behind group b and do nothing but ride easy! The riders then rode over Gates Pass on the way home, with the lovely slope at some points hitting 16%, some thought that was tough, ridiculous I know. Day 3 was the famous Mt Lemon climb, 25 miles of about 5-6%, around 2 hours of steady climbing, a dream climb for riders like Erik Mulder, pushing 210 lbs of man-ness up that so called climb. Today was an easy day, which consisted of a 2 hour ride to the coffee shop and back, but the interesting part of the ride was our one and half hour sit down at the coffee shop located right beside the University of Arizona, and did we see some talent there! Cyclists I mean of course... Pretty excited for another week and half of tearing it up, heading out to shred the mtb tomorrow with fellow Canadian espoir Cody Canning. Big shout out to the people making the this camp possible, Haywood Capital Markets and Adera Group.
