Laura Brown – “The Mammoth training camp was great. We had generous accommodations while we were Mammoth as we were staying in very nice ski chalets. There were lots of roads we were able to chose from to ride on, and we did lots of climbing. One of our longer rides we drove 20min north and rode up Tioga Pass, which took us into Yosemite National Park. This was a highlight of the trip! the road was amazing, and unlike anything I have ever ridden. I am hoping we can have more training camps there in the future”
