Every Pedal Stroke Brings Stunning Views of Pisgah National Forest and the Pristine Blue Ridge Parkway
It’s hard to break away for longer cycling camps sometimes. But we all need a long weekend away to pretend like it’s our job to ride our bike, and get a concentrated dose of training and coaching.
Our Brevard Cycling Camp is just that. Spend 3 days on your bike focusing on endurance miles and refining your group riding skills alongside our team of coaches in one of the best kept secrets on the East Coast. Every mile will bring beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains as we roll along quiet country roads through fertile green valleys. At camp you will be treated like a professional cyclist in every way: professional mechanical support, individual power file analysis with our coaches, and catered meals created specifically with your training in mind.
You’ll also have the opportunity to test your legs at the White Squirrel Cycling Classic.

If your bike arrives in a cardboard bike box we will be able to build your bike, however, we will only pack bikes in a dedicated bike carrier/hard case you provide.
