Tahoe Camp 2011
This year’s Altitude Camp in Tahoe has been amazing. Really I am blessed with such an amazing group of girls. Not only are they strong and dedicated to the bike and having fun but they are enthusiastic about cooking good food with me and building good team relationships.
We kicked of the trip with an awesome race in Annadel State Park. Making the trek up to Tahoe a well deserved rest. The first week was balanced with 11 hours of riding MTBs, 4 hours of yoga varying from recovery, core work, or flow depending on what we needed after our rides and plenty of good ‘chill time’.
All 5 Girls in a line
Now chill time should be defined as it included everything from the girls bikini sledding, to tons of vegetable chopping, a season of Gilmore Girls, the “regimen”, beach and the Tahoe plung, fireworks, bike cleaning, blue hair dye, and bead making. I am sure there was more, but I think you get the point that this is no group of lazies. 
The second week started with a hot race in Reno at the Peavine Challenge. This week flew by fast with 8 hours on the bike and 3 hours of yoga so far. Tomorrow we will have a much deserved rest day, which will include lots of tire changing, beach and swimming, massages, yoga, and preparing for the last half of the trip. With great anticipation for Downieville and Nationals still ahead.
