Day 3 for our camp has become a day for descending skills. While the “A” group grinds westward, up and over the Santa Monica mountains again, the “B” group heads inland to the “Seven Minute Climb” in Calabasas. There we do three descending sessions on a 2 mile gentle downhill with a steadily steepening grade and an increasingly technical  layout. Tim Johnson and Sir Brad  delivered a master class in descending skills. With each successive run the group went a bit better and a bit faster. Both Tim and Brad were stellar instructors. I led the second and third runs and started to actually pedal out of the turns on the third. Sensing a figure on my wheel I figured I either had a) a brilliant student or b) a bad-ass former Tour de France champion. Turned out to be the latter.  He came around like a locomotive but I managed to jump on. The power of that man proved almost seismic. Such a thrill.
