Mind Matters 1 Day DIRT Training Camp: Sydney, March 2, 2024.

  • Peats Ridge 780 Peats Ridge Rd Peats Ridge, NSW, 2250 Australia (map)

Matters Athlete Coaching Sydney Gravel Training Camp will take riders on a 1 day, 152km journey traveling in a loop adjacent to the NSW central coast featuring 2 big climbs and of course 2 amazing descents!

Mind Matters will be supporting riders as they experience some of the best gravel and sealed roads the Sydney region has to offer. Different to previous Mind Matters Training Camps, this edition will have a specific focus on handling your bike whilst atop gravel/ dirt. Riders will be challenged of course in a physical sense, but also in a skills sense as we cover what makes a strong, stable and confident rider atop more precarious terrain.

More than just a tour, Mind Matters training camps offer a learning experience for your cycling. With tips and tricks of the trade shared along the way to not just challenge you but also inspire you to get as much out of rides such as this and your sport as possible. Head Coach Justin Maddog Morris and Associate Coach Imogen Smith will be there to help riders develop such skills whilst we ride.

The small group format allows riders to have one on one time with the coaches and encourages camaraderie & friendship within the group.
