LSC Training Camp - Day 1 on the books

A nice sized group of 19 for Day 1. We took in the famed climbs of Money Creek and the Houston switchbacks. 6 riders opted for the 80 mile route, with the rest pounding out a century, including Jordan.

On the climbs, it was all about Goblirsh and Atherton, with Clark, Thorlson, and Olson on their heels. The big surprize was Jordan, who was right up near the front on every climb. He said his HR his 200 on the Houston switchbacks.

On the sprints, Jimmer had an edge in knowing where all the signs were. Even with a heads-up warning, Frye was only able to manage a single sprint, along with his standard fare of 2nd places.

Alex Atherton gets big props for serving up homemade Lasagna. Go big or go home. No Simeks this year.

The bike and body weigh off occured post dinner. Scott Olson edged out Macy with his superlight Time rig. Kermish's Cervelo R3 would be a contender, but he needs to swap out the powertap wheels for the Zipps to be in contention.

Olson's Time Machine w/SRAM red and Ksyrium ES's - 15.25lbs as ridden
Macy's Specialized Tarmac w/DA and HED Ardennes - 15.78lbs as ridden

Cowan easily took the heaviest bike with his Redline cross bike. Thorlson was a close second with his Steel Croll beast.

Cowan's Redline - 20.41lbs as ridden
Thorlson's Croll - 19.97lbs as ridden

As expected, Jordan easily took the lightest rider on Day 1, with Atherton 2nd, and no one else even close.

Jordan - 117.8lbs
Atherton - 132.4lbs

We had 3 clydesdales in the group. Jimmer, Kaeferlein, and Cowan broke the 200lbs barrier. We'll leave it at that.
