Garming team camp day 5 and 6…
Going to do the double whammy recap of yesterday and whats happening today. Yesterday we got out for a great hike in during the brisk morning and actually climb through the cold fog to a sunny warm summit of a local climb. Then after a quick lunch it was media interviews, Svein was much more busy the me in this department, followed by head shots and a photo shoot for 2XU where Dan Martin and myself got to hang out in tights pretending to be getting a relax on, chatting and sipping coffee on the couch, hahaha, good fun. From there it was a quick gym session, a visit with the team chiro to sort out some issues and dinner at another fine Boulder establishment. This dinner was somewhat different from the rest as the riders provided some of the entertainment of the night by signing a song for the staff, with our mechanic Damo on the electric guitar, Wiggins on lead vocals, which was fitting as he really looks the part of a British rocker, and the rest of the team filling in the chorus. We definitely won’t be up for any awards in the music world but we were at least very entertaining I would have to say. On to today, after breakfast a few of us went to the gym with team trainer Adrie Van Diemen for a quick demo on weight training before quickly hustling back to get out for a short rider and a meeting about our new anti doping program, which will have it’s full details released some time next week. We were then treated to a nice lunch by the boys from Cliff who are releasing some cool new products and making other’s packaging more convenient to use. From there it was off the Boulder theater for a quick walk through of tonight team launch events and just now finished cramming my bike bag with great products from our sponsor, gotta love that schwag. Now it’s time to get ready for the last big hurrah of the camp which is the team presentation where is should be a full house and a good time, as it always is when Dave Toll is on the microphone.
Just watched the Garmin presentation video on Velonews; makes me proud to see you guys up there. 2009 is going to be a great season for Canadian cyclists.
Hey Christian! You’re makin’ your home town proud! Way to go…hope you’re still having fun at it!
