Who is this Person (on the right)?

We ran (or rode) into this person at the Sacramento stage of the Tour of California? Anyone know who this is and what he does now for a living? I'll give you a hint in that he was voted one of the top 50 cyclists of all time....

2007 Victories Continue where 2006 Left Off

Last year, AthletiCamps athletes logged over 45 wins and many podium finishes in bike races around the country. In this young season, we already have put up 6 victories. Congrats to all of our athletes for their hard work, dedication, and believing in this unique and successful program. AthletiCamps not only teaches you how to train and physically takes you to the next level, but also teaches you what it takes and how to win!

Making the Winning Break

We've posted a new article on the website written for AthletiCamps and Pezcycling news. Making the winning break in bike racing can be a very difficult chore. I took a subject with infinite possiblities and condensed it into some major points. Special thanks to my old friend Kevin Metcalfe (picture) and Dan Martin (coached) for helping me out with some good info. Here is the link:

Making the Winning Break

AthletiCamps at the Tour of California

AthletiCamps was involved in this year's Tour of California in a big way. About 2 weeks before the event was to come into Sacramento, I was just planning on going and watching the race. Then, about a week before the race, the Sacramento Bee called to interview me for an article. That started a chain reaction which led me to working for the local KCRA - Channel 3 station by doing live interviews about the race and a 2 hour live webcast with one of their anchors. It was a blast...being right there...interviews great names in cycling. Next year will be even better and we are planning on doing a camp that corresponds with the race.


On another side note, AthletiCamps (Dr. Testa - Director of Coaching) coaches both Levi and Ivan Dominguez...Levi of course, won the overall and Ivan won the last stage.
