Fall Mileage Camp-Santa Ynez

2009 Header

 
Fall Mileage Camp – Santa Ynez, CA
 

October 17-20, 2012

Jumpstart your 2013 riding season and add a one-of-a-kind conclusion on 2012 with our annual Fall Mileage Camp.  This camp capitalizes on the excellent late season cycling on California’s Central Coast and concludes with the challenging Santa Barbara Century.

The cycling around our new Santa Ynez facility is described by Chris Carmichael as “spectacular” and “some of the best riding in North America.”  Fall is a great time to explore this region as the weather is still warm and the vineyards start to show fall colors.  Come join us for 3 days of riding through the challenging and amazing scenery of Central California wine country.

This camp is your chance to establish a base of endurance miles for your 2013 season with large volume rides under the watchful eye of CTS coaches.  Nestled in a valley between the Santa Ynez mountains outside Santa Barbara and mountains of the Los Padres National Forest, this camp includes sessions of cycling skill refinement and a CTS Field Test.  And while we’ll teach you key techniques for proper climbing and descending, the main focus will be long endurance rides that incorporate group riding skills and pacelines.  This camp includes the use of a powertap powermeter and daily review of powermeter data with the coaching staff to help you refine your correct training ranges for the upcoming season. 

Our three day Fall Training Camp welcome riders of ALL LEVELS, from beginners to advanced. We highly recommend that your bicycle be equipped with a 12-27 cassette, and/or a compact crankset, for this camp.

The weather during this time of year can vary from 50-90 degrees (ave high 81, ave low 53).   Be sure to come prepared for all weather conditions.
