Training Camp #1 Summary
Training camp was a success! The weather was perfect (dry) and the roads were quiet. Friday: the whole team went on a 3.5 hour group ride, and stopped at the Quarry (Largest open granite quarry in the US). Going back up to the parkway, we climbed up Orchard Gap to the parkway. Nic's mother and grandmother were nice enough to cook us dinner, consisting of Taco soup, salad and cornbread.
Saturday, the team split into two groups, one riding 70 miles around the parkway, the other riding to Pilot mountain and back.

Sunday brought some rain in the morning, so Nic, Will and Hannah took a 11 mile hike, while Matt, Evan, Sam and John rode the "Extreme banjo route" consisting of about 20% gravel roads, and about 30-35% of the route being uphill. Flat sections were hard to find on this ~40 mile route.
Thanks to Nic and his family for the dinner and a place to stay in the mountains!
Training Camp #1
The first NCSU Training Camp of the year will take place during thanksgiving break from friday to sunday. Contact Nic, the VP of Tarmac, for more info at nbreeves@ncsu.edu.
