May 17, 2013 (Boulder, CO) – Located at an elevation of 8,300 ft. above picturesque Nederland, CO., Colorado Cycling Camp offers experienced bike racers, juniors, and casual yet serious riders an opportunity to benefit from high altitude training.

At the Colorado Cycling Camp, participants not only reap the advantages of physiological adaptations, but for those unfamiliar with mountain riding, it’s an opportunity to learn techniques for ascending and descending at high rates of speed, high speed cornering, and hone one’s skills for both road and dirt riding.

Participants can train at over 12,000 ft. and race at any number of road, mountain or cyclocross events at lower altitudes in and around the Denver metro locale, including Boulder and Golden, often rubbing elbows with any number of pros who train or live in the area.

The area offers some notable climbs including Sugarloaf and Flagstaff Mountains, Sunshine and Lefthand Canyons, Lee Hill and Magnolia Roads, plus Rocky Mountain National Park, to name just some.

Training on these famed climbs improves confidence, while sleeping at this altitude benefits the body’s oxygen carrying capacity, thus assisting with cardiovascular improvements. It can also increase one’s maximum oxygen consumption for energy or VO2 Max, therefore helping to improve endurance and performance.

To accommodate those with a passion toward road, mountain and cyclocross riding, the camp is open from May through January.  Registrants may enjoy a Sunday through Friday session, or opt for a personalized, flexible plan priced on daily rate.  The first session begins June 16,2013, christening a beautiful new mountain residence with all the conveniences and comfort of home. Lodging, meals and guided routes are provided. Visit coloradocyclingcamp.com for more information.
