Spain Power Camp & European Vacation

March 13th – 19th

Our first Spain camp went so well last year that we are returning to the beautiful terrain and warm winter climate of Gerona Spain again in 2006!

Train in the same area as the leading European and European-based American Professionals such as Michael Creed, George Hincapie, Tom Danielson and Freddie Rodriguez!

Work on those winter base miles on European roads and receive valuable training advice under the supervision of USAC Expert Coach and Cat 1/Elite rider. This camp offers training opportunities in the mountains, the rolling coastal roads on the Mediterranean, and the flatter terrain around Gerona to challenge any of our cyclists.

This camp offers training opportunities in the mountains, the rolling coastal roads on the Mediterranean, and the flatter terrain around Gerona to challenge any of our cyclists. It will cater to the fast touring to intermediate riders and racers with medium to long distance rides of 50-80 miles done mostly at endurance & tempo pace. The faster riding will be done in segments, which will allow everyone to work at their own level to develop their skills and fitness. There will be lots of climbing so be prepared to work while enjoying some of the most beautiful riding in the world.

This camp will cover the following topics:
Climbing and Descending Techniques, Base-Building endurance work, Pedaling Technique and Analysis, Pace-Lining, Pre-Race Routine, Yoga & Flexibility Training for Cyclists, Mental Training Techniques, Training with Power and much more!!!
