Glancing back at Mallorca

Our first camp in Mallorca, Spain has come and gone and we already decided after the first day of being there that this will be an annual trip for us . Mallorca is incredible! Here are a few of our favorite photo’s from camp.

The city of Palma is a hot spot for vacationers from all over the world. We didn't spend much time in the city but it didn't take long to see why people come here.

This was our first real ride for the week and it set the tone for the rest of camp

Mallorca is a large island off the coast of Spain in the Mediteranean. It’s surprising with its diverse vegetation, terrain and culture. Everyday you have an option to go flat, rolling, hilly or climbing. During each ride the flora can change from an arid desert feel to green-richly soiled farm pastures to a forrest with pine trees and ferns all in a matter of a few miles.

Riding in Europe can be over stimulating because everywhere you look you see sights like this

Nearly every ride we did in Mallorca had at least one cafe stop. It didn't matter what town we were riding through, as long as we rode to the center of town (look for a big cathedral) we found good coffee.

Our Mallorca Cycling House was very nice. With 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms it was spacious and comfortable.

Many of the roads were lines with century old rock walls

Nice descent, hard climb. The Sa Callobra ride was a beast.

Ken was the go-to guy in Mallorca. Logistics, ride routes, mechanical support and most importantly having his amazing family around to help out gave a real Spanish family feel at camp.

Our Chef was incredible! Born and raised on the island and owning one of the nicest restaraunts in Mallorca, he was an instant hit at the house.

We enjoyed lunch and dinner (and wine) on the outside patio.

Owen enjoying the European riding...tough day in the office.

We promise this is not staged. Picture perfect.

All in all we had a great time in Spain. Thanks to those riders who joined us for our first Mallorca camp! We had an unforgettable time with you. Many more photos and stories to come.

Dates for Mallorca 2012 are coming soon…

Hammer Time, Fiesta Night

We just finished up an amazing week with the crew from Hammer Nutrition. Hammer brought down 13 campers from all over the country to ride in Tucson’s mid-70′s temperatures, learn about nutrition and proper fueling, and to have a good time.

Owen, Brian and the group riding towards Gates Pass

Brian Frank (proprietor of Hammer Nutrition) and Steve Born (fueling guru) made the trip from Whitefish, MT. Hammer Camp head coach, Jim Bruskewitz made the trek from Madison, WI. All in all, it was a great crew at the house!

The support car kept a close eye on the group

The fiesta night at Hammer Camp is always a highlight

Andy and Alison Schultz made a guest celebrity appearance!

Lots of smiles on the last day of camp

Our next camp is a full on triathlon camp. We'll see how Red Danger holds up against some of the worlds fastest bikes...

Casual Friday

Here at The Cycling House, we know how exciting it is when the last day of the week rolls around and you can finally skip the suit and tie and slip into the clothes that you want to wear. This Friday forego the cycling kit or hawaiian shirt and sport one of the new TCH t-shirts.  Choose from the trendy new off-center cactus-rider combo or the retro Endless Summer shirt here.  Below are some folks that love casual Friday.

The Endless Summer for Riders

Andy Schultz of the Kenda-Felt Team tried to take out a tree with his head at the Firecracker 50. We are pretty sure the tree is slowly dying. This didn't stop Andy from casually enjoying the post race festivities in his TCH shirt.

Although Moab, UT had the upper hand on Anya for a split second, she still smiles in her TCH shirt.
