Join us for a Gravel Skills camp you won't forget! Epic climbs, beautiful views, screaming descents, and camaraderie of the coolest gravel cyclists in the southeast.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Conasauga district of the Chattahoochee National Forest during our intermediate skills camp, scheduled for September 27th-29th.  

This camp is a MUST HAVE for anyone who regularly rides in areas with a lot of climbing and descending or who likes to race on gravel in the mountains. Knowing how to approach killer climbs and navigate speedy descents will make a huge difference come race day!

(Don’t trust me; check out what our previous camp attendees had to say on Google.)

With Mulberry Gap as our base camp, a hot meal and shower await you after each ride, followed by an evening of community building and relaxation.

This is an all-inclusive camp, bring your bike, and your sense of adventure. We will take care of the rest!

Camp Includes:

- Two nights in a shared cabin or campsite at Mulberry Gap
- Full day of instruction by professional cycling coach Scott Moore of Smoother Cycling
- Group ride and skills practice
- All meals provided by Mulberry Gap (efforts are made that dietary restrictions will be accommodated)
- Nightly community activities
- Prizes and swag
- Snacks and hydration

Note: If you choose to stay in a campsite, you must provide your own tent and camping gear. Campsite allows for parking vans or car camping. Electricity will be available at the site.
