"Come ride on the roads of Clermont with other women and enjoy the unparalleled camp experience!"-- Julie McKenzie
It's often stated by attendees at PCG Camps that the "brochure" can't even come close to describing the value that is attained. But let's try anyway! There's WKO analysis and season preparation by the master himself. There's daily rides where skills like sprinting, counter-steering, descending(!) and pacelining are taught and practiced. There's on-the-road race scenarios where teams battle it out for all the glory. There's 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!
The goal of this cycling camp is to focus on improving your ride skills and techniques, as well as, group riding techniques and strategies. You will learn the basics of training with power and surplus HR and perceived exertion training. Athletes from all over the world descend upon the beautiful rolling terrain of Clermont, FL throughout the year. Clermont is the perfect place for a cycling camp with awesome hill training opportunities, quiet country roads, proximity to the National Training Center and home to Peaks Coaching Group Female Coach Julie McKenzie. Receive daily on-the-road coaching from our coaches and team, as well as, post-ride power analysis and training that will help set you up for the season right!

Like many campers, Esther truly had a transformative experience at our last Fall Foliage Power Camp. Read what she had to say!
Jam-packed, fun-filled 4 days of learning new cycling skills with Peaks Coaching Group at the Women’s Camp in FL! Bumping, cornering, pacelining, power testing (1, 5 and 20 min), hill climbing, yoga, oh my! We had gals from 9 different States ranging in ages from 14 to 70! A very skilled (and fast!) crew! Highly recommend it if you want to improve your cycling skills in a supportive, fun and sunny environment! Special thanks to coach Julie McKenzie and Hunter! 🚴🏼♀️🌴🦩☀️😎

“When I came to camp, I had never used a Garmin or a heart rate monitor, a cadence sensor, or a power meter. My average on a "good" ride was in the mid 15 range, my average cadence at camp was in the upper 60 to low 70 range and I climbed like a slug :) I don't expect miracles because I am a 57 year old woman who never did anything athletic until the age of 49 when I began cycling..but felt like I should have been getting better, since I had been riding for 8 years.
I came back from camp, bought a Garmin 1000,and started doing climbing, sprint, and cadence drills. I guess I worked the cadence the most, but I found that in just consciously keeping my cadence between 85-95, my climbing also got better. I am not, and probably never will be, a great climber but I am SO much better than I used to be. I'm never the first to the top (in a group) but I'm also not the LAST! "

“The brochure can't even begin to describe the value of these camps. Hunter starts talking and instructing when we first arrive and doesn't stop until everyone leaves. I thought there would be much more down time like other camps--but thankfully there is not as long as Hunter is talking!”

JulieMCKENZIE
Peaks Coaching Group Elite Coach
I’m passionate about the growth of the Sport of Cycling, particularly in the areas of Women and Masters. While being strong and able to go fast is helpful, skills are key -- for a competitive advantage as well as for the Peloton’s safety. I frequently lead women’s clinics and skill rides, and am certified to teach the USA Cycling Beginner Racer Program.
Standing on the podium is awesome, but not the only way to measure success. Maybe you don’t necessarily want to race, but to perform your best in a cycling event. Did you set and meet, better yet – exceed challenging, yet achievable goals? Were you able to balance ‘life’ with ‘training and competing'? Did you view that little overuse injury as a setback, or as an opportunity? Are your nutrition, strength, mobility and recovery routines dialed in?
That’s where having a coach is so valuable; my job is to really get to know you, help you plan and manage your training in a structured way while ensuring you stay healthy and keep it moving forward
Experience an unparalleled coaching experience in gorgeous Clermont, FL. And learn a thing or two about power.
HunterALLEN
President and CEO
Legendary cycling coach, co-author of Training and Racing with a Power Meter
and Cutting-Edge Cycling, co-developer of TrainingPeaks, WKO+ software, and founder of Peaks Coaching Group.
Widely known as one of the top experts in the world in coaching endurance athletes using power meters, Hunter Allen's goal has always been to teach athletes how to maximize their training and racing potential through professional analysis of their power data. This goes hand in hand with his philosophy that a power meter helps athletes discover their true strengths and weaknesses, quantitatively assess their training improvements, and refine and maximize the focus of their training.
As a coach, Hunter makes sure to look at each athlete as a whole person. He excels at designing custom programs designed to maximize each rider's potential. He believes we are human beings working closely with other human beings, and it's important to him to work hard to find your strengths and weaknesses and to help you improve your skills, then develop a realistic plan that works for life. It is important that a coach learn as much as he can about you as an athlete and as a person in order to better develop a plan for success. He has now coached over 400 athletes and still learns something new from each one.
