We will be based out of Xantusia – home base of Slowtwitch.com, which is in the hamlet of Valyermo, California, and is described as an “endurance sports playground.”  It sits at 4200 feet above sea level in the zone where the Mojave Desert transitions to alpine vegetation.  Your rides and runs throughout the week can take you up to 8000 feet cycling and 9500 feet on running trails. Our home base is 20 minutes from “civilization” and the roads from the end of the driveway are smooth and vacant.  Within six or seven minutes of leaving the property you have options of cycling rolling foothills, twisty ascents and running trails in any direction.Our home base accommodations are at a bed and breakfast which is situated on 13 acres and offers a Jacuzzi, full bike repair shop and bike fit studio.  Coach Al will be offering 30 minute express road or tri bike fits to anyone at the camp who is interested and will be doing a full bike fit demo at some point during the week.
