Spanish strongman Jose Luis Rubiera of Team RadioShack studies the SRAM catalogue

Here is a collection of photos from Team RadioShack’s first ride camp that took place last week in Tucson, AZ. Lots of good energy as riders, sponsors, media came together for some introductions, presentations, education, and of course, some riding. The weather improved as the week progressed and the camp had the feeling of a family reunion with a lot of old faces.

I was onhand with my camera before Friday’s ride as the team trickled in slowly. Horner was the first guy to show up and signed autographs and talked to the 20+ people waiting to take pics, get autographs, and watch the team roll out.
