St. George Team Camp

Team Excelerator continues to gear up for the 2010 season.  We held a team training camp at the end of February down in St. George.  It was a great chance for the new team to get together and get to know each other as well as get some good early season miles on the legs.  The biggest thing I noticed at the camp was just how cool everyone seems to be on TE.  We have put together a great group of riders.  I also took note that our new recruits are very strong riders and will definitely make some noise this year.  Guys like Ferrall Spackman, Darren Goff, Trent Olson and Aaron Thomas.  These guys are FAST!

The camp started with a afternoon 45 miler that saw Aaron hit the tarmac after a cleat failed.  A seasoned ski patroler, he's a tough dude.  After a quick bike adjustment and cleat replacement, he was back on it for Saturday's long ride. 

After a lively pizza dinner we sat around and got to know each other and planned out the year's races.  You'll find our full squad at the East Canyon Road Race, Bear Lake Classic, Little Mountain Road Race, Chalk Creek Road Race and the Harvest Moon Criterium.  You'll also find TE riders at the weekly crits, Tour of Park City, local charity tours like Little Red Riding Hood and of course LOTOJA.  Not to forget our marquee event, the 2nd Annual Powder Mountain Hillclimb on June 12th!

On Saturday, we set out on the Zion's Century.  It was cold, but the rain stayed away for the suraton of the ride.  We all got in some great miles and had a great time.  We topped off the weekend with a great dinner at the Bent Spoon then headed back home in the pouring rain.

2010 is shaping up to be the best yet for TE.  See you on the road!
