All-Inclusive Spring Training Camp – Santa Ynez, CA
 

March 4-9, 2013

Continuing the long tradition of our Buellton training camps, CTS is excited to offer a flagship Spring Training Camp with a twist from our regional training center in Santa Ynez, CA.  You will be treated like a professional cyclist in every way from daily massages, to professional mechanical support, to individual power file analysis with our coaches. 

Our All-Inclusive Spring Training Camp will be run out of the CTS-Santa Ynez regional training center, and lodging/meals will be across the street at the Santa Ynez Inn and local restaurants.  This camp includes a heavy focus on early spring training rides and concludes with the challenging Solvang Century.   

This camp is open to riders of all levels. Rides carry you through some of the Santa Ynez Valley’s finest roads, described by Chris Carmichael as “spectacular” and “some of the best riding in North America.”  You will pass through rolling terrain, along streams, through vineyards and horse farms, and conclude the week by participating in the Solvang Century. 

Santa Ynez is a small town located in Santa Barbara County, near the Los Padres National Forest and just inland from the coast of the Pacific Ocean.  Quiet roads and beautiful scenery await the cyclist who is ready to get back out on the bike for the 2013 season. The area is not only famous for its abundant riding routes, but is well known for great restaurants, galleries, country inns and exceptional wine tasting rooms.

The weather during March can vary from 50-80 degrees with the occasional spring rain shower.  Please come prepared to ride in all weather conditions.
