Gravel Training Camp

Epic rides, technique focused, pro-level support. Gravel at it’s best.

Our Boulder Gravel Camp is a five-day skills intensive designed to challenge and refine your off-road riding abilities on some of Colorado's most stunning gravel and single-track routes. Each day begins with a route briefing and discussion of the technical elements ahead, so we can hit the gravel with a growth mindset and the intention to up-skill without adding risk. Together we will find flow, comfort, and confidence on all gravel surfaces. Each day is fully supported by our mechanic and support vehicle, keeping your hydration and nutrition topped up so you can focus entirely on the ride.

$1,750 per person — accommodation not included.

The camp blends rolling gravel roads, steep climbs, and technical singletrack to refine your skills across the unique challenges of each surface type, gradient, and obstacle. Rides will range from shorter, technique-focused days to a longer endurance day with 1,800ft/6,000ft of climbing, including a long flowing descent home. We'll close the camp with a 'time trial day' on a simulated short race course — a chance to put all your skills together and measure your progress.

Riders will enjoy a group dinner at a favorite Boulder restaurant, daily ride and skills analysis, and expert coaching to improve handling and performance. Safety is our top priority — gravel riding can be unpredictable, and all riders are responsible for their own wellbeing. We'll stop before technical sections to review key handling skills and ensure everyone is prepared for the challenges ahead.
