Twice a week for the past several years, Paul Camerer has risen long
before sunrise with a dutiful task. He quickly transforms the garage of
his home in Sacramento, Calif., in the Pinkhouse Gym.
After he backs his 1991 Chrysler Salon into the street, Camerer makes certain the garage refrigerator is stocked with replenishment drinks. He also makes sure the clipboard that holds his heart rate statistics is handy.
Several bicycles and various wind trainers stored in the garage are also properly position and are ready for their respective riders.
Fitness posters decorate the Pinkhouse gym/garage walls. The renderings represent some of the artwork of one of his workout partners, Ardis Bow. She's often joined by Sally Edwards, Cheryl Summers and Marsha and Doug Arnold.
The diverse group is diligent and has welcomed the task of motivating Camerer. In return, Camerer motivates the group with his accomplishments and perseverance as one Sacramento's enduring octogenarian athletes.
The most renowned event, the Concours
d'Elegance at Pebble Beach, will again provide the week's concluding
pinnacle highlight Sunday. It's often described as "automotive works of
art on display."
