The Original "My First Road Bike" Camps Let us help welcome you to the sport! May 30, 31 & June 1, 2008 July 11, 12 & 13, 2008

This camp is designed for those who are either recently converted to riding a road bike or those who have some experience and are looking for a structured approach to learning the skills that will make cycling that much more enjoyable. Participants should bring a road bike (with drop bars) and have a basic fitness level that allows them to enjoy rides of 35+ miles over varying terrain.

Attendees will arrive in Northampton on Thursday evening, May 29 or July 10, and depart on the afternoon of Sunday, June 1 or July 13, 2008. The camp includes accommodations at The Hotel Northampton or The Valley Inn & Suites (formerly the Best Western Northampton), a hearty breakfast and lunch Friday through Sunday, as well as written materials to support the coaching.

We covered about 300 miles out near Roanoke and Lexington, Virginia and it was hilly! I enjoyed the rides so much because of the climbing and descending techniques you taught me last summer at "My First Road Bike Camp." . . .Thanks for all the great teaching!"

• "I feel like I learned so much in just 3 short days. Excellent coach - Excellent hotel - Excellent riding - Excellent Camp!"
