Epic Mountain Bike Camp – Breckenridge, CO
June 27-29, 2013
With the growing popularity of endurance mountain bike events, more and more athletes are gravitating toward the trails. For many athletes, your aerobic fitness is greater than your technical skill or confidence on singletrack. Or perhaps you’re fine with 2-hour loops near town, but not all-day epic rides in remote areas. This camp is designed to prepare you for the physiological, technical, and strategic challenges posed by endurance mountain bike events and competitions.
This camp will be held in Breckenridge, Colorado, one of the top mountain biking destinations in the US. Situated at 8800 feet above sea level and featuring a wide variety of terrains, Breckenridge is the perfect place for the CTS Epic Mountain Bike Camp. This is the home of the six-day Breck Epic Stage Race, the almost-entirely-singletrack Breck 100, and the Firecracker 50. And when you get back into town, Breckenridge is one of the premier resort towns in the Rocky Mountains, packed with award-winning restaurants, shops, and services.
As with all CTS Camps, the Epic Mountain Bike Camp will be more than a series of coach-led group rides. We’ve designed an intensive learning and “dawn-to-dusk” training experience for you. We will be riding long distances on great trails, and stopping to teach you skills that will make you faster, more confident, and more efficient on the trails. We will also shoot and analyze video of your trail riding to help you see and visualize opportunities for improvement.
GI problems are the leading cause of DNFs in ultraendurance racing, so perhaps most important of all, we’re going to work with you on your endurance mountain bike nutrition strategy. How, what, and when you eat during mountain bike stage races and 100-milers has a huge impact on your performance. You not only need a nutrition strategy; you also need to learn how to “go off script” and recover from a nutrition or hydration crisis.
