Announcing Summer MTB Camp 2011.
Cedar mtn area Forest, NC. June 6-11
Sunday - Saturday (Sunday Check-in available 5pm)
Ages 15-19.
The "older camp" is set up more as a training camp where riders will do a lot of riding and training during the week. Attendees prefer this format rather than our previous usacycling format of classroom heavy learning. The fitness gains from this week of training will carry you to new levels.
This is a CycleYouth based team camp that is open to any racer or mtb'er able to ride with the group. Most are fast Sport level racers. Rides will range from 2 to 3 hours long and some days will have two-a-dayers where we ride in the morning and also the afternoon. On the long days we will offer shorter options for any not feeling up to the task, and may opt for a longer ride depending on the group. The area's Forest are a beautiful riding location nestled in the Blue ridge mountains. The area is hilly and mountainous, so we will be riding rolling terrain one day and mountainous the next.
Skills are hands on at the cabin or on the trails while instruction is a laid-back conversation style. For those interested we will offer a more structured discussion on training. We will skip the science and go directly to what matters in training. We will cover skills as in the past but more emphasis will be on training.
We will discuss proper bike care and go over basic bike maintain and repair. Riders will learn the basics of the training method and begin to understand the intricacies of race preparation, execution, nutrition and how training works. Campers will enjoy the good life with excellent trails and rides led by local resident Cory Rimmer and other camp staff.
This camp was formerly part of the USA Cycling camp system, but has removed itself to better serve the needs of MTB athletes better. This camp will be the same successful format developed for that camp, just with more appropriate goals. This camp can still serve as a qualifier for the USAC camp.
Food and lodging included. Campers only need towels and [some will need] linens for bedding (or sleeping bag). Early arrival, and transportation from Atlanta can be arranged.
Cost $650 *** $599 if we hit registration of at least 6 paid (refunds can be given, paypal fees additional).
Includes meals, lodging and transportation during the camp.
