The camp will be an opportunity to meet other riders, build cohesiveness across teams and help promote safe racing through education. The camp will offer something for racers of all categories and will focus on further developing racing skills, confidence, race strategy and how to win a race through team work.

For the second year, the camp will be lead by Tom Schuler who has been a team director or manager of several professional teams for the past 20 years, including Team Saturn (1991 and 2003) and Team Type 1 (2008-2009). Tom also represented the United States at the 1976 and 1980 Summer Olympics and was one of the original seven members of the 7-Eleven Cycling Team. He won the USPRO National Road Race in 1987 and the US Pro Criterium in 1981. Tom's sports management company, Team Sports Inc. is based in Wauwatosa.

Schuler explains the importance of the camp as follows:  “Strategy and race-day tactics play an important role and the Extreme Racing Clinic really focuses on these subtle elements. We practice then review different techniques and methods of maximizing one's efforts by recreating racing scenarios. Practice, review, repeat is our motto."

Robbie Ventura will also be co-leading the camp on Friday.  Robbie raced professionally for 11 years with his last four years being on Lance Armstrong's US Postal squad. Robbie was a criterium specialist and amassed over 70 victories over his 12 year pro career. Robbie currently owns Vision Quest Coaching and is helping athletes of all levels reach their goals.

“The art of learning to position oneself in a peloton in field sprints is of utmost importance in racing success. Learning how to corner fast and effectively can be a bigger determiner in racing success then absolute power numbers. Everyone will learn how to draft effectively, rotate both single line and double and get the most out of the work of others. At this clinic, we will teach everyone the tricks needed to hold and take a wheel. These are all skills that turn the good biker into a great one.” 

The camp will be generously sponsored by a number of supportive companies, including CycleOps Power, Planet Bike, Hammer Nutrition, SunRingle, Tifosi, Tour of America's Dairyland, Cycling Form and Fitness and Bontrager. There will be plenty of door prizes and product samples for riders.
