PCP Race Team – Training Camp Highlights

The PCP Race Team had an awesome week-end in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida at the Mission Inn Resort. Where the hell is Howey-in-the-Hills? About 20 miles from Clermont off of the Florida Turnpike. The Mission Inn is a very impressive resort with 2 golf courses, several restaurants, pool, spa, tennis courts, fitness center, meeting rooms… you name it. You can check it out at www.missioninnresort.com. The team had a great stay and we plan on returning next year.

Adam Baskin of CatOne Fitness offered his coaching and tour guide services to us all week-end. The camp started at 2 pm on Friday with a 40 miler to get the legs going a little bit. Adam suggested a local Thai restaurant for the Team Dinner. It was definitely a dining experience that none of us will ever forget.  If you’re in the area, just look up Thai and Friends and ask for Otto! Saturday was jam packed with a 50 mile team ride that included Sugar Loaf Mountain and Buck Hills best climbs and some crit practice at a local undeveloped subdivision.  Once we made it back to the resort and had lunch, we had a Q&A session with Adam where we learned ALOT about our training and the things that we need to correct this season. Then it was off to the crit course again for some cone drills, bike handling exercises and cornering work. The last team exercise for the day was a 20 minute core workout that I put the guys through…lots of work to be done in that area. Our week-end ended on Sunday with another 40 miler before we packed up and headed back home. It was a very good week-end…… we learned alot, we laughed alot and we rode alot….all the things a team training camp should be. Look for good things from the PCP Race Team this season.
