Mt. Mitchell Recon Camp – Brevard, NC
April 17-19, 2013
Mt. Mitchell and its summit has been a long time feather in the cap of cyclists in the Southeast and around the country. Its slopes are long and deceptively challenging to all. At this specialty camp you will be treated to a fully supported reconnaissance ride of Mt Mitchell and the roads leading toward it.
The camp will be based out of our Brevard NC training center and have daily shuttles to the starts of the riding sessions. 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. You’ll learn key techniques that help riders of all sizes and shapes excel when the road tips toward the sky. And since what goes up must come down, we will also help you develop the confidence and skills you need to descend quickly, safely, and efficiently.
Our two and a half day Mt Mitchell Recon Camp welcome riders of intermediate and advanced fitness and skill abilities. We highly recommend that your bicycle be equipped with compact gearing, or at least a 12-27 cassette for the terrain encountered at this camp.
Brevard, North Carolina is one of the top vacation destinations on the East Coast, and for good reason. Situated just east of the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and adjacent to the Pisgah National Forest, Brevard is the gateway to thousands of acres of outdoor playground. And with a wide variety of restaurants, fine hotels, and cultural and natural sights and events throughout the year, Brevard is a great place to come for a weekend, a week, or the rest of your life.
Further, Asheville is just a stone’s throw away. Known for its beautiful mountains, abundant outdoor activities and rich local history Asheville has been named One of the Top Ten Outdoor Towns (Outside Magazine, 2002) and one of the 10 Great Adventure towns in 2004 (National Geographic Adventure)..
Temperatures in April can vary from 50-70 degrees at mid-day, and spring rains are likely. Please come prepared to ride in all weather conditions.
