 CTS Santa Ynez is pleased to announce the Women’s Spring Training Camp, which be held at the same time as the open Santa Ynez Spring Training Camp. If you’ve ever wanted to attend an instructional cycling camp but prefer the camaraderie of an “all woman” learning environment, then this is YOUR camp!
What makes the Women’s Camp unique?
The women’s camp will feature friendly rides that incorporate instruction but not necessarily structured interval workouts. Off the bike we’ll have a schedule of additional social, training, and educational experiences. And as you ride with out top female coach(es), you’ll accomplish the following:
- Improved bike handling skills-including safe and efficient starting and braking techniques, balance through track standing and “slow” riding as well as basic/advanced skills in cornering.
- Safe and “energy sparing” group riding skills through drafting and various forms of pace-lining
- Improved confidence, riding efficiency and enjoyment by learning and practicing the finer points of climbing and descending techniques
- Better eating habits on and off the bike to enhance cycling performance and recovery specific to women including weight management tips
- Better understanding of the role that macro and micronutrients (carbs, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals) play specific to women’s metabolism
- How to keep your bike clean and fast as well as quickly changing a front and rear flat
So whether you’re a beginner or intermediate female cyclist, you’ll find what you’re looking for with this camp to become a more knowledgeable and proficient cyclist.
Location:
This camp will be run out of the CTS-Santa Ynez regional training center. This camp includes a heavy focus on early spring training rides and concludes with the challenging ‘Stinger’ ride.
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.
