Lake Martin Training Camp
23rd November 2009 by brtoone
Thanks to one of our new co-title sponsors for 2010, Dan Taylor at Infinity Med-I-Spa hosted us for a laid back fall mini training camp at his house on Lake Martin. Absolutely beautiful base location for three great rides. Thanks Dan!!! Check out the photos and details below.

A few people were able to take off work early on Friday and head on down. With crazy Friday traffic so close to Thanksgiving holidays, the guys only had time to do a short 55km ride before sunset.

This was our big ride day with a 75 mile ride around Lake Martin on tap. We kept the pace moderate throughout the ride except for two designated attack zones near the end of the ride where we split up into two teams and practiced team tactics for winning the attack zone sprints. Team “One” came out on top for both attack zones. Check out the topocreator.com map of the ride:

We woke up to a wet cold morning with a strong wind coming off the lake – but nothing was going to keep us from having another amazing ride. Dan picked out some great roads (Tallapoosa County 20 is awesome) and even though it misted a bit we were able to get in some good pacelining and echelon practice. Also, we revisited the same two attack zones for Team “Two” to try and rework its strategy to come out victorious for the attack zones. But alas, Team “One” still had it worked out to come out on top for both attack zones — all in the name of good fun, practice, learning, and hard training.
