Gone to Road camp






We loaded the truck and took Nate to the USAC Jr Regional Development road camp in LaCrosse this morning. Nate went to the camp last year and did well there and asked to go again so we said sure. There is a lot of riding in the bluffs along the Mississippi River and some good classes where they go over proper training, bike handling, bike maintenance, nutrition for racers and many other things. So in all hope that Nate has a good time and gets to meet other racers form the Midwest. It looks like a great group of coaches and staff so he should be well taken care of.

We left early this morning to get there by noon thinking that check in was at noon. We get there and no one was around and we wonder what is up? Nate looks at the paper work and tells us that check in is at 4pm. Well we figure lets go to the river and walk around. We see that there is a boat ride at 1:30 so we go and pay to hold our seats and run and grab some lunch and get back for a nice 2 hour ride on the river. It was perfect as then we went and got some ice cream and then went and checked Nate in. It looks like it is going to be a good group of riders there and he should have a good time. Then it was drive home and now relax after the 6 plus hours on the road. Jess is going to be spoiled this week as the only child as that hasn't happened in a long time. Maddie called from Mexico the other day and said she is having a blast and loves it there. I have to say thanks to the neighbors for taking her along on their family vacation for a month there. Well I need more ice cream. Later..
