Climbing Camp – Santa Ynez, CA
June 12-15, 2013
CTS is proud to continue the tradition of our popular Climbing Camps at our newest location in the beautiful Santa Ynez valley. The cycling around our new facility is described by Chris Carmichael as “spectacular” and “some of the best riding in North America.” Come join us for 3 days of riding through the challenging and amazing scenery of Central California wine country.
Nearly every cyclist we work with wants to improve his or her ability to ride uphill, and this three-and-a-half day camp is just what you need. Nestled in a valley between the coastal mountains outside Santa Barbara and mountains of the Los Padres National Forest, this camp will teach you key techniques that help riders of all sizes and shapes excel when the road tips toward the sky. Our objective on the final day will be to ascend the grades of Mt Figueroa, at 10 mile climb that challenges even the world’s best cyclists. And since what goes up must come down, we’ll also help you develop the confidence and skills you need to descend quickly, safely, and efficiently. Camps include a CTS Field Test and subsequent review of test data with the coaching staff to determine your most efficient climbing pace.
Our three-and-a half day Climbing Camps welcome riders of ALL LEVELS, from beginners to advanced. We highly recommend that your bicycle be equipped with a 12-28 cassette, and/or a compact crankset, for this camp.
The weather during this time of year can vary from 45-80 degrees (ave high 70, ave low 40). Be sure to come prepared for all weather conditions.
