CTS Camps?

[susan.wells]

I have attended three camps. Two of their standard women's specific (one was the beginner and the other not) training camps. Additionally I attended a private weekend camp for a friend and I (same type of service but no sales pitch). Anniebikes' description is accurate - both pros and cons. Tips and techniques were the best thing for me. My descending skills improved dramatically (although I will always be a chicken at speeds over 40 mph careening down a mountain). The camaraderie that developed among the women was a pleasant surprise. I would do it again just for that. I still exchange email with a few of the other ladies.

Anniebikes ... reading your blog concerning your husband's tour. I did the GAP & C&O in 2007. I start Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway on Sunday.

ETA: I actually forgot ... My avatar is a cropped photo from the private camp. If you look ever so closely you can see that I am riding while touching the rear tire of my partner's bike with my front tire. Her tire is red. Hence my somewhat strained looking position. You practice bumping skills and how to react without (hopefully) going down!
