Calgary, Alberta

Saturday-Sunday, July 10-11

Year after year, our Calgary camp has proven to be one of the most popular on the schedule. The area has a super enthusiast and active population, the camps benefits from solid on-site support, and the word of mouth that's stemmed from learning all kinds of mountain bike skills has been simply amazing.

Thanks to our new summer date, we have a ton of great riding options available to us. This year the skill sessions will be held at the Banded Peak School in Bragg Creek, giving us access to a wider variety of technical cross-country and freeride trails than ever before.

The cross country trails on our list include Riverview, Pneuma, Moose Packers – Ridgeback and Powder Face – Prairie Link. The downhill focused trails include Brakeless, Toothless, Race of Spades, T-Dub, Jean Guy on the Rocks and Billy Dog.

Thanks to the Moose Mountain Bike Trail Society (MMBTS) and the Calgary Mountain Bike Alliance (CBMA), the Moose Mountain trails have all received a makeover since last summer. The downhill trails include new faster, flowier sections with new jumps and new technical trail features. On the cross- country front, two new trails (Pneuma and Ridegback) have just had their finishing touches applied. The participants at this camp will be some of the first riders to enjoy these redesigned and new cut trails.

It doesn't stop there either! In true Albertan style, a number of local businesses have stepped forward to support the weekend. These include our host shop, Ridley's Cycle, two of our favorite pre and post ride Bragg Creek restaurants -- Mountain Bistro and Pizza and the Boardwalk Café & Wine Bar, and Kim McNeil Yoga. Trust us, after practicing bike skills all day Saturday, this rejuvenating Iyengar inspired stretching will really hit the spot.

Get ready for the best Calgary camp yet!
