Announcing The Team First Bench Inaugural Training Camp.

Have you always wanted to attend a bike camp for a week but that pesky career or whiny family got in the way?   Well this year we have a solution – Team First Bench Training Camp.  One week of riding the entire lakefront every day, M-F at a nice easy base-building pace with a long ride or Saturday. That should give you about 250 miles in week one and barely make you late for work – what a deal. Here are the details:

•  starting Monday April 23, we’ll meet every day that week at 5:30 a.m. at the bench and ride the entire lakefront path
• we’ll head north to start
• turn around at Hollywood and head south to 71st
• turn around and head home
• we’ll top off the week by joining the triple X ride on Saturday. It meets at Wicker Park and turns around at Highland Park for just under 50 miles with options to go further
• sunrise April 23 is at 5:57 so you won’t have to ride in the dark – much. There are only a few dark spots on the path but get some lights.
