Bobby is not at the team camp in Spain, opting to remain in Reno with his family until the training camp in California on January 31. The motivation level has been high since the training camp in Norway. Bobby says …
I have been up here in Reno since Dec 17th and will continue to train here until our first training camp in Southern California on Jan 31st. There is a camp going on right now in Mallorca, Spain for many of my teammates, but I elected to stay here at altitude with my family as long as I can and skip the camp. All of the travel and time away from the family before the season even starts just to do a 10 day camp wasn’t worth it for me and thankfully Bjarne and the other directors agreed with me. Of course, our Team CSC camps are great training, but at my age, I just don’t deal with jet-lag the way I used to!
This is Bobby’s program for the first half of the season:
- Tour of California
- Paris-Nice
- Criterium International
- Pays Basque
- Tour of Georgia
- 33 day break to train at altitude
- CSC Invitational
- Lancaster
- Reading
- Philly
- Tour de Swiss
- and then hopefully the TOUR
Bobby said “I really like my schedule, but we will tweak it here and there if we need to. Of course I would love to do the Olympics again in 2008, but that will come naturally if I race as well as I would like. After the month of July, we will come up with a program for the rest of the year.”
