Team Avanti Training Update
Team-Avantiplus Training Camp # 1
We all met at Charles house on Saturday. After a weigh-in, we departed to practice Stage 1 of the Tour of Northland to Dargaville. Already we discovered this training was worthwhile to check out the changes to the course for 2010. Charles set a cracking pace up the Paparoa hill but we all agreed it would be even faster on race day. After that we TTT’d to Dargaville along the flat section of the course. We were met by Hitomi, the newest member of our Team who drove over with our gear and stayed to follow us up to Opononi with the car on Sunday.
Saturday night Tim showed us how much pasta he can eat, about as much as the rest of us combined!
Stage 2 Sunday morning. Beautiful weather and a good tailwind. Charles continued to show his good form up the 1st major hill at Kaihu. We continued to ride hard until the end and it was great practice for the Tour. Then we all jumped in the Hokianga Harbour to cool off.
Training Camp #2 next weekend where we will ride Russell to Whangarei with Tim H and Nic, our Auckland team members.
