#crosscamp prologue

Just got back from the 11th Annual Cycle-Smart Massachusetts Cyclo-Cross Camp this past weekend. It was to a combined weekend of celebrating her birthday and getting some skill coaching in.


I was sworn to secrecy on her birthday and for once managed to keep my trap shut!


Arrived in Northampton / Hadley MA at 3:30 am, unpacked the car and collapsed into bed waking up at about 8:30 am. I was looking around for a do not disturb sign but couldn't find one, so I went back to bed only to have them come in the room at about 10 am and us explaining that we got in late and we were sleeping in and didn't need any cleaning that day.


We were both starving and in need of caffeine and we somehow stumbled into Bruegger's Bagel in Hadley, MA. I had a life giving Smoked Salmon and Aly had a PB and J with some coffee and we sat outside. This became our morning routine over the course of the camp, although not at the same location.


After, that we decided to go for a ride and we decided go for a spin for a couple of hours. We didn't know the area so we went on the Norwottuck Rail Trail which was right behind our hotel and went back an forth on the trail a couple of times and got the cobwebs out.


Then we got some lunch, did some shopping, back to the hotel and went out for dinner and went to the camp registration which was at a coffee place, but he had just closed and cleaned the espresso machine so no joy on some espresso.


We signed up, headed back to hotel and got stuff ready for the morning.
