Training Camp Approaching

Four day Training Camp is 24 hours away so things are pretty busy in the Gooch/Thomas household. Training Camp #1 was amazing with soloists Jacobson, Philbrick, Marquez and Carrol, Team Tartan crew chief Ben Larson, two-person Candy Ass Llamas, California Double Century competitor extraordinnare Andreas Schultz and Seattle Randonneur Peter Beeson, II filling our roster to capacity. Fixed Gear competitor John Spurgeon happened to be training on course over the weekend as well – this guy is FAST which left our soloists glad he has his own division. For some excellent training camp reports please check out the blogs of Philbrick, Llamas and Spurgeon.
