3 weeks from Climbing Camp

that sounds like hell.  Have fun :P

Just finished my climbing camp in North Georgia. 4 days riding the fun parts of the old Tour de Georgia. Day one-only about 44 miles about 4300 ft of climbing.
Day two-82 miles over 9300 ft of climbing, brutal day, cold rain the last 20 miles. Not fun descending 4 mile descents in slick roads, really made me appreciate the pros.
Day 3-62 miles, only about 7000 ft of climbing but it did include Brasstown. The 2.5 climb up Brasstown gains about 1300 ft. and was brutal, proud to say I didn't have to stop, but was crawling at about 4 miles per hour. Great weather.
Day 4 short recovery day-I needed the recovery. Nice 25 mile day with "only" 1700 ft of climbing. Overall over 200 miles, almost none of it flat. Most of the climbs ranged from 6-8 percent. A couple really stuck out however the before mentioned Brasstown of course and Hog Pen. Hog Pen was relentless and steep over a 10% grade for miles and miles.
I learned a lot from the pros that ran the camp. And learned that I can handle steeper, longer climbs than I thought I could. The next local RR with a little climbing is something to look forward to now.

The owner of the company is a former pro named Simon Kessler. Raced in the 90's also has a Cat 1 domestic guy, one of the top guys from Florida to help him out. They also supplied a masseuse and had rider support for gels, energy bars and drinks on the rides.

I attended a camp in February run by our provincial team coach. It was a women's provincial team camp. There was lot of support too. No masseuse, but we had bottles hanging out of the support vehicle as well as clothing etc. in the support vehicle and radios that told us the route to follow and what drills we should be doing at that time. It was awesome. I had so much fun and learned a lot in 4 days, so I bet yours was great too.

The camp I went to was stationed in Dahlonega, Ga.

Beautiful Country.
