Description

  2021 Cheaha Challenge Gran Fondo/Ultra Climb & Descend Camp

Q: Ever hesitated in participating in an ‘epic climb’ event because you weren’t sure you could do it?                                                                                                                Q: Do you shy away from descents because you’re not sure you can handle the high speeds and sharp turns?                                                                                              Q: Do you already have the ability and strength to climb and descend with confidence and think you don’t need (or want) any more tips?                                                    Q: Are you somewhere in between a ‘newbie’ and a seasoned cyclist?

In other words, the Cheaha Climbing Camp can benefit ANY cyclist.   ‘Coach’ Robert will share Climbing and Descending skills and drills in this 3-day Camp, that will empower you to climb and descend beyond your current capabilities and comfort zone.

ABOUT YOUR COACH:  ’Coach’ Robert Wilhite, started MyCycleCoach.com in 2005.  Racing motorcycles at speeds of 200mph, an expert in biomechanics, and his natural-born teacher personality, makes Coach Robert the most unique cycling coach you’ll ever meet.  His 255,000 miles ridden (and still counting) on a road bike, including 4 years racing, certainly helps, too.  Click HERE to Learn More
