Final Call for East Coast Cycling Camp: May 8-12, 2013 in Jefferson, NC

May 8 - 12, 2013 (yes, it's mother's day weekend)

Note - Registration Closes on 4/19/2013

Come join Coach Patrick and a handful of Endurance Nation veterans for four days of amazing cycling. This is a great way to add "far" to your "fast," and will be a great boost to your fitness from the winter. This is a great East Coast option for athletes training for Rev3 Quassy, IM Couer d'Alene, IM Lake Placid, IM Tremblant, IM Whistler or Challenge Penticton. 

WHAT'S NEW FOR 2013: 

  • Single Location -- We found the perfect place, nestled between more open roads and epic climbs than you'd think possible. 
  • Crazy Lodging -- We went all in and locked down some amazing mountain lodging. You'll relax in comfort and local style.
  • Multiple Routes -- The biggest reason for a single basecamp is that you can choose your own ride distance and level of difficulty. There will be suggested itinerary, but you are free to break off and sample different types of terrain based on your season goals, bike fitness and ability to tolerate suffering. 
Here are some route samples: 
  • Mount Mitchell Ride: 103 miles, 10,400 feet of gain. Highest point on the Eastern Seaboard. Map & Details
  • Blue Ridge Brutal Ride: Anywhere from 57 to 100 miles of serious riding! 57 miler; 66 miler, 100 miler.
  • Blood, Sweat and Gears Ride: Here are two options from this epic ride: 50 miler, 100 miler.
  • Flat Out & Back: Okay, not flat but a lighter option for sure! 50 miler

LOGISTICS:

Basecamp is approximately 2 hours from Charlotte Airport in North Carolina; we recommend you plan on arriving by 3pm on the 8th. 

SLOTS: Only 4 Slots Left!

We have a few veterans returning from years past, leaving only a few spots for everyone else. If you are IN or interested we need to know ASAP to plan it out -- Doors close on April 19th! This is still a "young" camp so we want to grow it right…no over-crowding!

PRICE: Just $499 Team, $599 Public for 4 Epic Days!

This camp is open to the public as well as the Team, as a member of TeamEN you save…and the sooner you sign up the more you save. Your camp fee includes lodging, food, and ride support…the only thing missing is a spare pair of legs for days 3 and 4!!!!

  • Who is in so far? Do you really recommend a Road bike? That is time to get comfortable on the Tri bike. You would want participants in before noon and what time out of Charlotte airport?
  • I'm in, driving up from North Alabamer. Taking my road bike as well.
  • CoachP,

    Do you think this will give me another bump in bike fitness for Quassy and IMLP?  I am itching to pull the trigger.

  • @Rob, this would do you right...epic mileage, great transition from AZ camp to your season. Road bike for sure (holiday from tri bike). We can figure out transport, just give me a call: 617 513 3830

  • Rob, after you, the doors might be closed. But we could upgrade the house to add 3 more. But I'd need to know by THIS FRIDAY. image No pressure...

  • I wish ...but no can do this year...dates just don't work.
    Rob - you will enjoy this - great riding - especially for Quassy and IMLP
  • I can only make the Sat - Sun Rides. But, that option is not available. Have fun in the mountains.
  • Is there any objection to me showing up on Sat and Sun to join the group for the ride?
  • @George, no objections at all. Do you want to stay on Friday/Saturday nights with us, if so we'll need to figure that out. Otherwise PM me and we'll sort the rest out!
  • Coach P,

    If there is room I would like to stay with the group.  Otherwise, I have a tent, cot, and sleeping bag and can manage. I will probably stay Sun night as well to get one more day of riding on Monday.

    George
