Over the next two months we’ll be talking about mountain bike training and getting in shape for the spring MTB season. Sure, getting in shape for mountain biking can seem boring, painful, and at times, anti-social but the Big Mountain Mountain Bike Training camp offers a nice alternative.

This year’s training camp is being held in late March near sunny Las Vegas and includes training rides at the IMBA Epic Bootleg Canyon trails and on various trails in the world-renowned St. George, UT area. 1996 Olympic mountain biker and 2-time Trans Rockies Challenge winner Andreas Hestler will lead the training camp and will offer tips on nutrition, stage racing, and seasonal periodization, among other topics.

The Big Mountain MTB Training Camp sounds like a great opportunity to build your skills before the season starts while enjoying epic trails and learning from a seasoned pro rider. The cost is about $2,000 USD for the eight day training camp, about what you’d normally pay for a mountain bike holiday in the western US. Boost your MTB skills while enjoying epic trails and western scenery - sounds like a win-win to me!
