The only thing negative I will say is that if you truly are a beginner (ie: just started riding) and you are not fit, that the hills out there are tough. I only managed them by slow cadence/slow speed. But there were 4 or 5 girls in the camp who were really powerful riders and the hills seemed easy for them.

The good news is that the coach/student ratio is so good that you always have a coach riding very close to you and talking you through gearing, handling, etc.

If you aren't pretty fit, be prepared to sweat. Don't get me wrong -- I would do it again next week if I had the chance!
