Splish, Splash They Needed To Take a Bath or a Bit of Dirty Fun at Cyclocross Camp

Junior Cyclocross Camp was an absolute blast! We did lots of different kinds of skills building and some fun mock races, but here's what the kids will remember the most: The mud pit...

What kid could resist mud?

As you can see, just about EVERYBODY (including the coaches), loved the mud!

They worked on other useful stuff like how to transition into gravel without crashing your bike. It sounds easy, but it is not. Gravel often wins.

The food was wonderful and plentiful. The catering company was able to handle every special diet and make everyone feel like they were pros.

It was great to have some of the group from Fort Collins come and play with us.

This one ended up on Facebook.

Ellie makes this look easy.

Another part of the fun is making new friends and strengthening bonds.

Okay, so this does not look so bad. I might let him in the house this way.

But wait, just look at that butt. Everyone ended up looking this way, or worse. Most of the kids had to "practice" falling in the mud. I ended up washing about 60 uniforms on Saturday night. The kids were thankful for that little service and they were ready to race the next day.
