Mind Matters 1 Day Gravel Climbing Training Camp: NW Sydney, January 12, 2025
SUNDAY 12 JANUARY, 2025.
Mind Matters Athlete Coaching Sydney Gravel Training Camp will take riders on a 1 day, 137km journey traveling in a loop in the NSW lower Blue Mountains featuring 2 big dirt climbs and 2 amazing dirt descents, plus a good dose of climbing and descending on sealed roads also.
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 Angus Calder will be there to help riders develop such skills whilst we ride. With both coaches having extensive experience in gravel and road racing including completions of the famous Unbound Gravel, you are guaranteed a day of learning and stories..
The small group format (maximum 14 riders) allows riders to have one on one time with the coaches and encourages camaraderie & friendship within the group.
