Testimonials from Camp Participants .

"The SSC GA Climbing Camp was one of the most challenging things I have done on the bike and the most rewarding. I am not a climber in any shape or form but was able to learn a lot and find my own wins within the camp. The tips on nutrition, hydration, recovery, and climbing were awesome. Simon and his team are top notch!"

Rob Marchello

"This was not only a training camp but I really got to experience a great cycling vacation. I was catered to as if I were a pro athlete. Simon and the other coaches were very knowledgeable, experienced and professional. This is a must do if you like cycling."

Scott Elkin

"Really enjoyed and benefited greatly from the 6 Gap Cycling Camp. The camp was well organized and well supported. Simon, Scotty, and Gary were ever present to help and provide guidance and the riding was outstanding - lots of great climbs and beautiful countryside. The group attending the camp was fun - I really enjoyed the off bike dinners with the group. I'm already organizing my calendar to return next season! THANKS"

Chuck Harris

"This was the first camp I have ever attended and it was fantastic. From the time of arrival to the very end there was constant opportunity to improve. From pre-ride nutrition to post-ride recovery and all the riding in between I truly know I have improved! Can't wait for the next one."

Adrian Besancon
