Are you ready to get dirty on America's oldest gravel?
Let's do it!
Whether you're racing Unbound, SBT GRVL, unPAved, Croatan 150 or a host of other great rides, this camp is for you.
The goal of this amazing gravel camp is to focus on improving your gravel skills and technique as well as race tactics and strategy--while accurately developing your power profile in WKO! The beautiful Appalachian Mountains are the perfect place for a gravel cycling camp with awesome climbing opportunities, quiet country roads for race scenarios--and it’s the hometown for the Peaks Coaching Group Headquarters!
The "brochure" can't even come close to describing all that happens at a PCG Gravel Camp. But let's try anyway! There's WKO analysis and season preparation by the master himself. There are daily rides where skills like sprinting, counter-steering, descending(!) and pace lining are taught and practiced on gravel roads. There's on-the-dirt-road race scenarios where teams battle it out for all the glory. There're stories from Hunter's many, many years in the industry and as a professional cyclist. There's SAG support, amazing A, B and C Road Groups for different levels, massages, yoga, stretching, on-staff bike mechanics, incredible food, bike fits, rider video analysis... There's just so much!

OZIER
Peaks Coaching Group Elite Coach
Each athlete is an individual with varying abilities, skills, capabilities, qualities and un-tapped potential. Most athletes have undiscovered potential that is not realized until they have an unbiased, outside view of their talents. It is the 1 and 2% differences that add up to a wealth of improvements for the athlete. I look at each person, learn their talents and their limiters. Each person is a unique work in progress. It is an artform to learn and develop a personalized training structure, so the athlete grows into a well-rounded rider with an array of skills and abilities. Communicating with each other is a critical part of the success. I am an open book of experience, knowledge, and feedback. Sharing what I have experienced
and been educated with over the last 30 years, then seeing an athlete reach a new milestone with a smile on their face is what it is all about.
Whether it is Road Racing, Gravel Racing, Mountain Biking, Gran Fondos, or Zwift, Paul has the passion and experience to help you succeed with your goals.
Experience an unparalleled coaching experience on the gorgeous gravel roads of Appalachia. And learn a thing or two about power.
