2007 Cycle-Smart Northfield Cyclo-Cross Camp
Cycle-Smart is proud to present the 7th annual Northfield Cyclo-Cross
Camp, taking place September 7-9, 2007 in Northfield, Massachusetts.
The camp's unique attraction lies in its beautiful setting,
fun atmosphere, and mix of skill levels and personalities. Not to mention
the opportunity to learn and practice skills with some of the best 'cross
racers in New England. "Adam Myerson passed along one tip
about 'cross starts that was worth the entire price of camp alone! No
matter what level racer you are, camp will fit into your agenda."
(Chris Mayhew, multiple time camp participant)
Cycle-Smart coaches will provide hands-on instruction in technique for
cyclo-cross, with an aim towards a 1:5 coach:rider ratio. Full vegetarian
meals and lodging will be provided.
New this year is an additional coaching session on Sunday. We've found
every year that we simply couldn't get everything covered in the time
allotted. Rather than lose the entire day to racing on Sunday, we've opted
for another day of instruction, and our own small training race.
The camp is open to riders of all ability levels, although everyone must
have a USCF or NORBA license. Unlicensed riders can purchase a license
at the camp for an additional charge.
'Cross Camp Level 4 Training Program
For camp participants, Cycle-Smart is offering a special Level
4, 3-month training program at a discounted price of $125. This individualized
training program is aimed to take the hands on technique-focused coaching
from camp and add training-forcused coaching to take you through the Fall
'cross season.
