Hey champs,

Tomorrow is our team camp. We are so excited to host you all. There are currently 63 registrants. This will be a great weekend!

Please carefully read and understand the following info about the team camp and what to expect:

PARKING: The “base camp” location of our Team Camp is at Endurance Rehab in Mesa AZ. The address is: 3215 S Sossaman Rd, Mesa, AZ 85212. Parking MUST be on the south side of the building in the dirt parking lot. There is only 1 driveway entrance and it is on the North side of the building, so drive in and drive around the back of the building over to the SOUTH SIDE and park in the dirt. This is very important as this facility is shared this weekend with some local soccer clubs, etc.
What to wear: Wear your BAA gear if you have it, t-shirts, kits etc. There are multiple opportunities for us to be on our bikes throughout the various presentations so either bring a change of clothes or stay in your kit all day. Whatever is most comfortable for you.
FREE time: There is free time which has been intentionally built into the schedule. Feel free to go home, meet up with some friends and teammates for a snack or lunch somewhere etc. Sneak in some zoom calls for work or whatever works bets for you. You do not need to hang around Endurance Rehab during the blocks of free time. It is an active rehab facility with patients etc. Let’s not bother them or anyone else please.
SPONSORS: Make sure you take a minute and thank the sponsors who generously are giving up their time this weekend to help us improve our cycling this season.
BE CLEAN: I will have a trash can available for you. Please use it. We want to practice a "no trace” presence when we leave this nice facility. Don’t leave any garbage or personal belongings laying around anywhere.
WATER/SNACKS: Bring water and snacks for your own personal consumption during the day. We will provide dinner on Friday and Saturday, but hydration and snacks are up to you.
