Upper Arlington High School Team Development Camp

Had a great time this past weekend with the Upper Arlington High School Cycling Team at their Development Camp at Deer Creek State Park. We arrived on Friday and were treated to a meal cooked by the team with the help of a dietician guided shopping trip to Whole Foods the night before. On Saturday we spent a few hours in a large parking lot near the lake working on riding skills drills like cornering and riding slowly through intricate courses requiring accurate bike handling skills. I the afternoon we hit the road for single and double pace line skills with a little junior varsity vs varsity team time trial back to the cottages. On Sunday we spent some time working bumping drills in the outfield of a baseball diamond and then onto the road to work on bridging the gap. We then divided into two groups for more team time trialling back to the cottages. In the afternoon we worked on sprinting drills. We had about 16 riders and a rotation of parents providing support on the road with lead and follow vehicles and with breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. Hope to be a prt of this again in the future.
