Sat

6:45am crit experience.  More racing tips and fast twitch training – meet at the coffee van at 6:45am for approx 60km and back in the park by 9am.   There will be an option to do a steadier ride of approx 55km as well with Rod as ride captain.

Sun

6:15am start at the coffee van.  There will be two rides – faster ride will be going to Waterfall and back through the National Park with options to practise for the hillclimb TT – 105kms.  There will be a steadier ride as well going through the Park.

Easter

As usual, Steam will be going down to Jindabyne again for their Easter training camp involving some riding, lots of drinking and mysterious disappearing Easter Eggs.  Also a chance to train for the upcoming racing season and to do some hills. And the famous cook-off competition will be on again with esteemed chefs attempting to out do the other teams on a nightly basis.

Thanks to Kerry and Anthony Freeman, we once again have use of the Piste Haus (spelling differs by the end of the weekend) and depending on numbers can book the apartments over the road.    This weekend has been enjoyed by all in previous years.  Please let Anna or Daniele know if you are interested in coming on ciclismo@tpg.com.au so we can organise the weekend.   

Port Long Course Tri

Good luck to all heading to Port Macquarie for Sunday's race. STEAM members could score a couple more Australian Championships.
