Training Camp
Our custom Training Camps help cyclists achieve specific training goals with personal training plans and hand-picked routes. Before, during and after the camp you will work with your coach to ensure you are meeting your goals and make any necessary adjustments along the way.
California and Oregon are two of the most beautiful places in the world to ride and are great for cycle training with California the preferred option for early- or late-season training. We use the latest technology – including power meters – to help your coach accurately assess your progress and give nightly feedback. This is just one of the reasons that National Geographic Adventure Magazine named this camp one of their “25 Best New Trips of 2009”.
What’s Included
Before You Travel
A month or so before arriving at camp, you talk with your coach – typically by phone – to assess your current fitness level and discuss your training goals. Based on this consultation, your coach designs a training program – typically 5 to 7 days.
When You Arrive
At the start of the trip, you meet with your coach and review the training plan, who will review each day’s routes to help you explain how the rides fit your training plan. Before you start riding, your coach may have suggestions about your bike set-up, and can also advise on nutrition, bike handling, psychology and other aspects of performance.
Most attendees will bring their own bicycle, however, we also rent premium Cyfac road bikes.
During Camp
Power meters are a great way for your coach to monitor your performance. These advanced training tools measure speed, cadence, and, most importantly, power output. There are several models to choose from and we can help you choose the best one to match your needs and cycling style.
After biking in the day, most riders choose to have nightly or bi-nightly consults with the coach by phone or email. Based on what your coach observes, your training plan may be updated. Most riders also enjoy a post-ride massage.
After Camp
After the camp is over, the coach will assess your actual performance against your objectives and make suggestions for future training.
