Rider reviews
This is the camp to springboard you into the big events...La Marmotte, Etape, Maratona OR those closer to home...A week of climbing on great roads in great weather. Vehicle support on each ride and daily input on nutrition/position/pacing/climbing and descending...hands on coaching from Tim Ramsden....Top off the week with a Gran Fondo route of over 160 km & 3500 mtrs of acsent.!! Dont worry a less testing route is also available. The camp is suitable for those wishing to tackle the longer events...or to get a block of training to kick start the Spring racing season, so why not join us in 2022?
