2009 Austin Training Camp

SEVEN DAYS OF CYCLING SEASON PREPARATION

AND TEXAS HOSPITALITY!

An open, interactive bicycle training camp

and Texas culture mini-vacation for adult cyclists.

One of the most enjoyable parts of riding a bicycle, is enjoying the open air, nice weather and scenery of the open road. Unfortunately in the Midwest we have something called winter, which can make us forget the joy of bike riding. February is a time that find dedicated cyclists doing almost anything but riding outside.

At Smart Cycling Bike Shop we have a way of temporarily defeating the winter. It is our annual Austin, Texas training camp. A chance to get away from the cold of winter and remember the fun of riding your bike.

Our training camp takes the riders on a variety of open roads with challenging terrain and nice views. The Texas countryside provides a beautiful backdrop for full days of enjoyable riding.

The weather is usually between 60 and 70 degrees. Not too hot and not too cool. It is a very pleasant change from the usual 20 degrees of the Chicagoland area.

Annual Weather Conditions for Austin, Texas Average Temperature for February/March: 55/61 degrees

Average Rainfall for February/March: 2.1/1.5 Inches

Warm weather and good roads seem to make every cyclist happy. We plan a daily routine of interesting riding with the added benefit of good company.

Here part of the 2008 training camp crew are getting ready to hit the road for a day's ride. The hill country in the Austin area is a nice change of pace from the flat roads of metropolitan Illinois.

The 2009 Smart Cycling Bike Shop training camp in Austin, Texas is in the finishing stages of planning. If you are interested in getting away from the cold and boredom of winter, join us for a week of fun in Texas. This is not a 'hammer-fest' training camp where riders work themselves to exhaustion every day. While we do provide a challenge to our riders, we do so on a level equal to each rider's abilities.

We also take advantage of the wonderful hospitality of the people and city of Austin, Texas. At the end of each day's riding we relax at one of Austin's many restaurants, clubs or points of interest. The food, music and entertainment of the area is famous for variety and fun. The city itself is filled with history and stories that make the camp more than just a week of bike rides.

If you are interested in being part of the 2009 Smart Cycling Bike Shop training camp, e-mail or call us today. we will be happy to answer any questions you have and send you complete information when the plans are complete.
