Luna Mtn Bike Camp July 2010

Wow what a great weekend! Met some cool choices, rode some wicked terrain, learned lots of new skills, reinvigorated my training, wow!

Day One:
Back to the basics with body positioning on the bike, work in the terrain park, get used to working the bike.
The afternoon ride was cut short by an injury, but managed to ride things like Ziggy's and The Noodle.

Day Two:
Started the day off with some trail running, working on technique for hill running, both up and down. Did this session on the XTerra trail.
Next we hopped on our bikes for some drills and transition practice, then off to Quarry Lake for a site review. On the way back to the Nordic Centre we sessioned on a steep grassy hill and learned how to so a drop. Wow!! I made it!
For the afternoon we split up and I followed superstar Tony Smith thru one lap of the XTerra full distance course. It's tough, technical, nary stuff, with things like The Laundry Chutes, The Coal Chutes, and The Georgetown Climb. Ne lap took us 90min! I may need to downgrade to the short course, but that decision can be made another time. I loved the route, I can ride most of it, but it will take me some time!

Overall, a good format, great instructors, great time on the trails, very relevant to the rave in August. Bring it on!
