So every year I've choosen a couple of weekends to make into mini "training" camps.  Last year I did two of these camps in addition to the formal Endurance Sports Camp in Tuscon and my extended camp in Kona. 

What do I love about these mini camps?  They're close to home but not at home, totally focused on training and I believe a great way to hammer in some miles and boost our overall fitness.

So normally I just do these camps alone but this year I decided to see if anyone wanted to join me for one of these camps.  I'm planning my first camp the end of April 4/30 - 5/3 in Hood River, Oregon just 3.5 - 4 hours from Seattle, an hour from Portland.

I've spent lots of time riding in "The Gorge" and love it.  There is some good challenging riding, generally uncrowded roads (both cars and bikes) and good weather. 

This isn't a formal camp. No "pros", big name coaches, or fees hopefully jsut some passionate triathletes who want to spend some time focusing on getting ready for the season and enjoying each others company and learning from one another.  My focus for this weekend will time on the bike with a little running thrown in.  It would be fun to get some open water swimming in but since the columbia will probably only be in the upper 40's I'm not planning on it.

See the Camp page for more details, tentative schedule, dates, accomodation recommendations, and general bike pace guidance (doesn't mean you can't join in if you ride slower or faster).

If you're interested in joining in for all or part of the time get in touch with me.
