Spring Training Camp – Brevard, NC

March 25-30, 2013

Every spring, the mountains of western North Carolina attract cyclists from all over the East Coast for the training benefits found here. Join us for a camp designed for intermediate to advanced riders who are looking to jumpstart their spring training. This camp focuses on endurance training with a power meter – longer rides at moderate, steady intensities – under the guidance of our experienced coaching staff.

Whether you’ve attended cycling training camps in the past or always done your spring training solo, if you’re seeking the next level of training, then this is the camp for you. This Spring Training camp is perfect for intermediate and advanced enthusiasts, and amateur racers. During this four-day camp we will challenge you with long rides through moderate to difficult, and always beautiful, terrain. We will outfit you with a Powertap power meter for the camp, and conduct power file download/ review sessions with coaches. (If you have your own power meter, please bring it with you.)

Brevard is a small town located in Western North Carolina, nestled between the Pisgah National Forest and the DuPont State Forest of the Appalachian Mountains. Known as the “land of waterfalls”, Brevard is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Brevard is not only famous for its abundant outdoor activities, but also plays host to a vibrant downtown scene with art galleries, terrific restaurants, theatre, the Brevard Music Center, and Brevard College.

The weather during March can vary from 30-60 degrees, and the occasional frosty and rainy day should be expected. Please come prepared to ride in all weather conditions.
