Loon State Training Camp

Man, what a great group of riders and what a wonderful place to ride!

Loon State Cyclists Racing Club runs a 4 day training camp in Whalen, MN with great roads and climbs in a glorious network of valleys and ridges.

I was able to spend Thursday and Friday riding with the group (25+). Friday was cold and rainy. We rolled in to Subway for lunch (which is a very cool site when 25 riders decend out of the weather). Huge thanks to everyone who worked to plan the camp and Jim Cullen for leading the rides and John Rotach for blessing us with his outstanding dinner preparations!
