I thought that the camp was very good and meet all exspectations and much more. The camp was very tough for the J19 which i thought was good to find our limits in cycling which will be very helpful for us to be able to train at our limits to improve further.

The organisation of the camp was very good and having the radios and bob in the van behind us was good to make sure we were safe when doing efforts.

One thing that i would have liked to do more of would be some cornering practice and some skill work to help when being pushed around in races, so i would be able to hold my ground in racing.
Overall the camp was a great experience and was a good lead up to mersey valley.

The reason i came to the camp was for an opportunity to climb the moutntians meet new people and get in some good training

The camp was probly even better than I thought because I meet new people, made new friends and had lots of fun and also heard really insirational speachs.

The food was amazing really good lots of choose and really nice

I thought the food was great and dont think i have anything to add

I really enjoyed the camp because I love to cycle and its even more fun with friends and new friends. I loved that we were able to cycle in the mountains. the food was great and I couldnt get enough of it.

The river walking was really fun as well and the evening lectures which i thought would be boring turned out to be really interesting and inspiring. The only thing i disliked about the camp was me putting my hand in the wheel but that was my fault and you’ve got to learn somehow – so oh well.

But yes, overall it was a great camp and probably the best camp I’ve ever been on. thank you to bob, helen, bec and the other adults that help made it so good (and looked after me after the wheel incident)

The camp was organised really well. We were always doing somthing and it was well supervised and looked after

The rooms were really good i liked that we had a big tv beds and bathroom was good too.

The atmosphere was really good everyone was really nice

The afternoon activities were really fun and I like the river stuff

The facilities were really good the bike shed seemed very secure and the pool was nice (although it was cold) and overall lots of good things.

What was the main reason you decided to attend our KCC camp?

To get a challenging 5 days training in the mountains to hopefully improve my stamina up hills before Mersey valley

Did the camp meet your expectations? Please explain.

Yes it did, as I expected the camp involved plenty of hills and intensity training which has prepared me better than if I was training in Ballarat for Mersey Valley

Was the food of a good standard and was there enough variety?

Yes the food was prepared very well and to a very high standard and lots of variety which meant we were able to eat lots of food before the next days training without getting sick of it.

Could you write a brief paragraph explaining what you liked/disliked about the camp?

The camp was very helpful to all aspect of my riding. I thought it was good that as we were able to rest and recover in the afternoons after riding long km instead of do core. Also when riding I thought it was good to do group efforts as well as individual efforts. This made us aware of our team mates around us which I believe bonded us together better. I also found having the radios in our ear very helpful and made me feel safer on the bike. The only problem with this is you can’t always understand what you are staying for example when you were trying to give me a bottle. Apart from that the camp was run extremely professionally and I got a lot out of it. THANKYOU

Enjoyed the challenge of riding with the U19 boys. I found having the radios was really good. I think it allowed us to train hard and safe by receiving instructions whilst riding. I liked having my own room. It allowed me to fully relax after the rides and also catch up on a bit of work. I would be happy to pay extra to guarantee my own room for future camps. This would probably appeal to other masters riders.

The camp was extremely well organised.  I enjoyed the fact that the groups of riders were of like ability.  I was worried that I would be left for dead and was really surprised that I was able to keep up with the groups that I rode with (other than the hill climb!)  I thought it was great that we all got together (when possible) for recovery and also the evening sessions.  I loved the twister!!

I know that most of the other riders now a lot about racing with others but because I am so new to it, it would be great to have a session (at night) about road racing and tactics.  When you should stay with the pack, when you should break away or try to take off.

It was great to have feedback on things while riding such as you telling me about dropping my heels.  Things like that were great!

What was the main reason you decided to attend our KCC camp?

Invited by Bob and Helen, great opportunity for hill training leading up to Baw Baw and Mersey Valley.

Opportunity to train with other cyclists of similar and better ability.

Did the camp meet your expectations?  Please explain.

The Camp met and exceeded expectations, well organised, great accommodation, everyone got along well. Training was harder than

I would have done at home on my own. Pushed me to my limits and beyond.

Was the food of a good standard and was there enough variety? OOOHH Yeah  – Definitely was !

Are there food suggestions you have that you would like on the next camp?

More of exactly the same please.

Could you write a brief paragraph explaining what you liked/disliked about the camp?

Can really only explain it with one word, GREAT! There was nothing that I disliked, it was a great experience, the coaching was

great, the company was great. The weather was perfect for riding and the combination of distance and hills made for some

tired legs. Chasing Nick and Trent gave me great determination and put the best week of training in that I have had . The core and recovery were hard but fun.

Were you happy with the:

• Camp organisation – Yes
• Accommodation – Yes definitely
• Camp atmosphere- Yes, very friendly (especially given that I am from outside the Kelly Gang)
• Afternoon activities – Yes, when we actually got back in time to do them
• General facilities  – Great
• Coaching and support provided – Yes, very much so ( Thanks to Bob and the lesson with Coke ! )

What was the main reason you decided to attend our KCC camp?
Complete some awesome training, ride with other people, and gain skills.

Did the camp meet your expectations?  Please explain.

Hell yes!!! Great organsiation, people, support, accommodation, food, scenery and location.

Was the food of a good standard and was there enough variety? Definitely.

Are there food suggestions you have that you would like on the next camp?

I would add porridge at brekkie and yoghurt after dinner (to help with digestion, sweet cravings etc!).

Could you write a brief paragraph explaining what you liked/disliked about the camp?

It was great getting to know the KCC gang and building us up as a team. I loved the longer cycling rides, and am looking forward to completing some mountains before the end of 2012 🙂

What was the main reason you decided to attend our KCC camp?

To improve my cycling and get a solid training block in. I love Bright and it is so nice to get away to the area. Great to spend time training with others and focusing on cycling for the week without other distractions.

Did the camp meet your expectations? Please explain.

The camp exceeded my expectations. It was great to get some very solid training in and have the support of coaches and other athletes.

Was the food of a good standard and was there enough variety?

This was one of the best parts about the camp! It makes such a difference not to have to worry about preparing meals after a hard day of training. The choice was plentiful, there were lots of healthy options and it tasted great.

Are there food suggestions you have that you would like on the next camp?

It was pretty awesome and can’t think of anything else to improve on.

Could you write a brief paragraph explaining what you liked/disliked about the camp?

I really enjoyed the Tuesday that I spent training with the guys.  It was a particularly solid day for me, but it felt rewarding to get a hard training day in. Maybe next time I will actually be able to back it up the next day!  The whole camp was unbelievably good value for money. I am surprised that it was so cheap given everything that was provided.

Were you happy with the:

Camp organisation – Very well organised. Thanks for the packing list Helen! It was made very clear what the expectations were for the athletes on the camp and consequently everyone was really well behaved (especially the little munchkins!).

· Accommodation – The location of the accommodation was perfect and the food was awesome. It was nice to have the pool and river for recovery and the room to store the bikes. It was good that all of the bedrooms, dining area and meeting room facilities were all in the one building. The staff at the accommodation were all friendly and helpful.

· Camp atmosphere – There was a great mix of athletes which created a well balanced atmosphere. It was nice to see the old and young, males and females and the paralympians all training together and getting along well together. An inclusive culture was established early in the camp which made it enjoyable for everyone. I think that everyone was particularly supportive and encouraging of each other.

· Afternoon activities – It was fun to have a play in the river. I think many of the athletes got a lot out of Carols speach as well. There was a good mix of organised activities as well as some down time when I was really stuffed!

· General facilities – The facilities at the accommodation very suitable for the camp.  The rooms were clean and adequate.

· Coaching and support provided – I really enjoyed training with the radios and having a support vehicle nearby with supplies.  Thank you both so much for the hours you spent in the car following the athletes (even when a particular athlete was going at snail pace up Hotham!).

Thanks so much from running such a productive and successful camp.  All of the other athletes I have spoken to absolutely loved it as well. Can’t wait until the next camp in September.

My only request for the next camp is to ensure the weather is a perfect as it was this week!

What was the main reason you decided to attend our KCC camp?

To help me improve with the training that we did but mostly learn.

Did the camp meet your expectations?

Please explain. Yes is certainly did, it showed me a level of training that i had not experienced before.

Was the food of a good standard and was there enough variety?

Yes the food was good, just i could not eat much because my stomach was unsettled from the diarrhoea that i had.

Are there food suggestions you have that you would like on the next camp?

Not particularly, maybe have some bread or something out during the afternoon just encase you have got hungry during the afternoon.

Could you write a brief paragraph explaining what you liked/disliked about the camp?

I liked the training (even though it was hard!!) because i will benefit from it in the long run. It was also fun and great just to get to know the other riders better as i do not see them as often as the other guys who live in the city. Carols speech was also a highlight for me as it really does put everything into perspective, what she has had to go through. But the best thing was probably all the things that i learnt and how hard training really needs to be.

And if i didn’t tell you before i like to thank Bob,yourself and Bec for putting on the camp, it was a great experience.
