I was terrified about this camp. I was intimidated, worried I would hold everyone up, and concerned because biking has always been my weak sport. I had no reason to be worried. I was 100% supported. There was a big range of abilities at the camp, so no one was left behind. I left camp with renewed confidence, new climbing and descending skills, and a lot of new friends.
My experience at Special Blend Gravel was incredible. I’ve been riding gravel for a long time; what’s so special about this camp are the people, so many wonderful women who enjoy riding their bikes! The coaches are so knowledgeable and incredibly supportive, and the gravel roads and scenery were spectacular. I left camp feeling more confident and made a lot of new friends. I’ll definitely be back!
I don't often get the chance to ride with people, so cycling with other women and coaches for three days while developing our bike handling skills was exciting to me. That's what ultimately led me to decide, "I'm going to try this. This sounds fun." And it was SO much fun!
