We're at camp now, which is a lot of riding, but that doesn't mean that we don't have time to think about our fellow "camp" mates--the Navigators Insurance team. Here, we set the record straight about the men's and women's pro riders.

Myth 10: The Navigators follow strict diets.

Fact: When the cookie bell rings at 5:30 pm, the lead-out to the cookie plate is on.

Myth 9: Women own more clothes than men.

Fact: Not when it comes to cycling apparel; the men get three times as many kits as the women.

Myth 8: Only women use depilatory (hair-removal) creams.

Fact: Some men say they never need to shave their faces anymore.

Myth 7: Men's teams are older and more experienced than women's teams.

Fact: The Navigator men seem to have an average age of about 20, whereas the Lipton squad has an average age of 30.

Myth 6: The majority of men's training consists of chasing women.

Fact: We spend just as much time profiling their squad to see who would be dateable.

Myth 5: Most professional male cyclists are eligible bachelors.

Fact: As part of our due diligence, we found that the majority of the Navigators have someone special at home.

Myth 4: When the going gets tough and the weather gets sour, women are the only ones who resort to the trainer.

Fact: The men are right there with us.

Myth 3: Team directors that continue to train are just as strong as pro riders.

Fact: After hour two, they are holding on to the car. After hour three, they are cramping and getting into the car. Then 10K from the finish, some directors hop out of the car to race for the finish. (“Beam(on) me up Scotty!”)

Myth 2: Mechanics and souigners have it made at team camp.

Fact: By the end of camp, 80 bikes have been built, more than 1,500 bottles have been filled, over 400 massages have been given, and truckloads of handmade sandwiches and energy bars have been eaten. Thanks to all of the Lipton and Navigators staff that makes our lives more enjoyable.

And now for the Number-One Myth about TEAm Camp: Pro cyclists go to warm destinations for winter training camp

Fact: High altitude training and snow is where it's at.
