2020 Epic Camps Are Now Live
2020 Epic Camps are Here!
After much planning, cycling and thinking (not in that order), we are pleased to announce the epic cycling camps for next year. Each one has its unique character, and in true Endurance Nation style -- they are all suitably fun and epic.
Check them out below and make your camp deposit soon...there are limited spaces available. We'll have forum threads for each where you can ask questions and see the rosters, but if time is of the essence you can set up a camp call here.
3rd Annnual Mallorca Cycling Camp
Saturday April 18 to Saturday April 25, 2020
The classic camp is back. This camp is the perfect mix of fun, accessible roads and great riding. Big climbs are interspersed with flatter days, mountains with villages. And every ride finishes with social time, story-telling and picture-sharing.
Five days of riding - with one rest day - led by our close friends at Mallorca Cycling Tours means that there are several guided rides each day. You can go short/flat, medium/rolling or long/hilly...your choice, every day.
2020 will see us return to the point-to-point ride from Andratx through to Pollença, the marquee ride of our week.
- Ability: Intermediate to Advanced; note e-bikes are optional if you ask early enough.
- Spouse/Family? Absolutely. The island is accessible and great to explore.
- Cost: Starting at €2199 for double occupancy, single is an additional €500.
- Includes: 7 nights Lodging, Airport Transfer, Breakfast, Dinner, 2 Camp Dinners, Swag, Guides and SAG
- Not Included: Airfare, Lunches, Rental Bikes, Beer & Wine

10th Annual Epic Blue Ridge Thru Camp
Saturday May 16th to Saturday May 23rd
Our tenth year in the Blue Ridge Mountains simply had to be more than "just another" weekend riding the best terrain the East Coast has to offer...and we've done it! Thanks to our friends at Black Bear Adventures, we have created an epic point-to-point adventure. Starting on Skyline Drive, we'll ride to the Southern Terminus: 6 Days, 578 Miles, and 55,000+ ft of elevation.
Six days of riding with one day of travel/logistics on either end. There are only 16 slots available for this camp, as it is a logistical challenge to relocate every single day. We have up to two vans at our disposal, with Guides and Mechanical Support. After your breakfast, you'll ride to lunch, then ride on to our next hotel just in time to shower for dinner. Literally every step of the way is taken care of so you can focus exclusively on enjoying every breathtaking mile of America's most scenic and accessible mountain range.
- Ability: Advanced to Expert.
- Spouse/Family? No thank you. Campers only.
- Cost: Starting at $3200 for double occupancy, single is an additional $750.
- Includes: 7 Nights Lodging, Breakfast & Dinner, Lunch on the Road, Swag, Guides and SAG
- Not Included: Airfare, Airport Transfer, Bike Shipping, Beer & Wine

wow
I just emailed to inquire. :) Oh my goodness!
I want in! Email and cash coming!

Unless I win the lottery, I'll only be able to do Mallorca OR France, not both.
It's hard to put money down on something so early (even if an Ironman), when I don't even know what I'll be picking for big training goals next year on my run to Leadville MTB.
email response sounds promising!
"Hi Tom!
I’ve got you in the list. Stand by for more info...
Tailwinds,
EB"
I wonder if @Coach Patrick is going to require a certified FT test :)
@Scott Alexander , @Coach Patrick said on coach call that deposit would be refundable for a few months if that helps.

That's right! France is now on a waitlist. Mallorca is 1/2 way sold out and the Blue Ridge Epic is filling up fast. 2020 Camps are where the party is...
