Spring Training Camp – Santa Ynez, CA

March 18-23, 2013

Continuing the long tradition of spring camps in the Santa Ynez valley, CTS is excited to offer a Spring Training Camp based out of our regional training center in Santa Ynez, CA. Come join us for a week of riding designed to jump-start your 2013 cycling season.

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.

Now taking reservations! Call for details: 866-355-0645
