Team Ontario California Traning Camp – Arrival and Day 1

Arrival Day by Annie Foreman-Mackey
It was an early morning for the group of cyclists who gathered at Toronto’s Pearson Airport to catch their Sunday flight to California. Introductions were made and friends were reunited. Many travelers noted having a sleepless night in anticipation of this trip! Excluding the brief moment of worry when the flight downgraded to a smaller plane and left the possibility of Cayley and Mitch taking a later flight, the group stayed together and the trip was rather uneventful.

Over 130 women took part in the 2012 Womens Weekend (Feb 4th and 5th, 2012) presented by Joyride 150 Bikepark and the OCA. The weekend targeted women from Ontario who wanted to ride in a fun and relaxed environment.
And fun is what was had by all. The weekend started with some fantastic coach introductions and also a tour of the facility by resident Womens Head Coach, Shannon Bentley. The camp had a number of stations for the ladies to hone in some skills and learn some new techniques, even a station to work on changing a flat tire.. courtesy of Jeff Faulds at Norco bikes.
