Join us for 4-days of gravel camp meets bike mechanic school in beautiful Tucson, AZ. This women’s only camp creates a safe space for you to learn, ride, and connect with other rad women!
You’ll split your days between learning bike mechanic skills (on your own bike) and mixed surface riding with coached sessions. This all-inclusive trip is limited to 24 guests.
We'll be staying at Solana Spanish Villas, a charming mini resort in Tucson's tranquil Tanque Verde valley. Situated on a sprawling 5.7-acre private estate, the resort-style property is the perfect location for camp - with close proximity to popular cyclist routes, scenic walking paths, and a spacious 44-foot swimming pool and a private pickleball court.
Depending on the package you select, you will be staying in a unique villa, charming casita, or a luxury glamping wagon!
Please note: All prices are USD
