The 2023 Tucson Spring Training Camp is tailored for intermediate and advanced cyclists and will feature high mileage training over a variety of terrain. From the imposing figure of Mt. Lemmon to the sprawls of Saguaro Cacti, expect to be treated to incredible views all week. Tucson is a world-class training destination with cool mornings and moderate afternoon temperatures over the winter months. Many professional cyclists come here to train this time of year, so don’t be surprised to see some flying by us while out on the road!

This year's camp will feature professional mechanic support and training file analysis with a CTS coach. We will meet each day in the CTS conference room for training presentations, and data recall.
