All campers must have a USA Cycling license. Click here to apply for an annual license. Or purchase a one-day license for each day of camp during registration—cost is $5 per day.

Camp Fee includes unlimited energy drink, unlimited energy gels and bars, handouts, talks, coaching, and full-service SAG.

Hotel rate is based on having a roommate and spending 5 nights—includes continental breakfast buffet each morning.

Flight price is based on roundtrip flight from NYC to the West Coast (prices may vary and please check airline cost for traveling with bike).

Cash (in hand) is a high approximation of money you may spend on lunch, dinner, and snacks over 5 days of riding.

WHERE

The home-base hotel will be located in Alpine, CA or Warrenton, VA, depending on camp date.

Alpine is located 25 miles east of San Diego, CA, and still retains some appearance of an old west town. Alpine, however, is modern and has many services within walking distance for its growing population. The town is located at 1,900 feet elevation, and has many surrounding traffic-free roads, which take in the Southern California coastal range scenery.

Warrenton is located about 50 miles west of Washington, DC and offers the cyclist access to two-lane country roads at the foothills to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Roll through pastures and wine country while tackling some of the East Coast's best climbing.

Lodging in Alpine and Warrenton is centrally located for all campers.

Warrenton: Hampton Inn >>

WHEN

Cyclists will fly into San Diego International Airport/Lindbergh Field to arrive in Alpine or Washington Dulles to arrive Warrenton, VA, ready to meet Sunday at 8pm at the home-base hotel for a precamp talk. (Note: 8pm Wednesday for weekend camps.) Cyclists will be ready to ride at 8am on Monday (or 8am Thursday for weekend camps). Please arrange flights accordingly. Many choose to rent cars for flexibility during the week. Further information about the meeting point will be provided to registered athletes.

Length of camp is determined by dates chosen. Cyclists are welcome and encouraged to fly in earlier to do further riding or vacationing in and around San Diego or Washington, DC.

IN-DEPTH QUALITY TRAINING

This camp will provide in-depth, intensive training sessions through a program designed specifically for road bikers of varying abilities. CCSD Road Training Camp will supply you with the skills and ability to improve your performance on all levels. A sample camp schedule follows:

Sunday: Arrive 8PM for general meeting

Monday: Skills followed by 2 to 3 hour ride with climbing and descending instruction

Tuesday: 5-hour endurance ride, with optional 4-min intervals; Evening power clinic

Wednesday: 6-hour endurance ride to over 6,000 feet elevation

Thursday: Cornering and bumping skills followed by 3-hour endurance ride, with optional 4-min intervals; Evening mechanical clinic

Friday: 5-hour endurance ride, with optional speedwork

*Expect to ride a minimum of 20 hours for the week and to climb a total of +17,000 feet.

EXCELLENT VALUE

This camp will provide high-value, heavy impact training at a competitive cost. In order to keep costs manageable, CCSD will have complementary snacks, energy bars, gels, and drink mix in the SAG vehicle. Cyclists are able to place their own nutrition choices in the SAG vehicle as well. The home-base hotel will provide a continental breakfast and some rooms will have a refrigerator upon request.

Certified coaches will ride with the campers and will be available for Q & A throughout the camp. Riders who can fix minor mechanical problems will be present on many rides. In case of a mechanical failure, campers will be directed or transported to a bike shop after the riding is complete for the day.

ROAD BIKE RENTALS

If you do not wish to ship or bring your bike with you on the plane, CCSD can connect you with local bike shops, which offer rental road bikes at competitive weekly rates. If interested, contact robert@ccsd.com for more information.
