Description:

Welcome to the North Georgia-North Carolina cycling camp. We are back for the 6th year in a row on this epic waterfall-mountains camp with some of the most challenging climbs in the southwestern United States! This years camp will be hosted in a serene wilderness area near Aska, GA. Riders will be able to detach from everyday life and enjoy an action packed cycling adventure training camp and get off the grid for a week. This cycling camp will feature riding in the beautiful Northern Georgia and North Carolina-Tennessee Appalachian Mountains. Riders will get to tour and train on some epic climbs featuring water falls, quiet back country roads, mountain overlooks, and a few gravel roads. With an experienced ride leader and navigator, these rides will not only be a great training opportunity, but a fun adventure tour as well. Experienced tour guides will take care of lodging, dining, safe roads to ride on, special sights to see, cool towns to visit, and more.
