Aevolo’s team camp, based in Las Vegas, was all the aforementioned and more, including an impromptu visit to the Palazzo to see the Rolling Stones exhibit and a stroll down Fremont Street. It’s difficult to imagine how we fit it all into just three days in late January.

In those three days, the team effortlessly meshed together as one. The returning riders welcomed our five newest additions into the fold like long lost friends.

“Bringing in five new riders when your total roster is twelve strong is a pretty big portion,” returning rider Michael Hernandez said. “[Mike] Creed and the Aevolo staff did an excellent job making camp not as much about the training, but about learning how and where the new guys fit in. Between go-karting (which is always a blast) and group prepared dinners, the new guys really got to feel out each of the returning guys’ personalities and vice-versa. Knowing a teammate’s limits is important to me because it makes it much easier to give everything for a guy you to actually enjoy hanging around.”
