The Death Valley Supper Camp has been rescheduled to the last week of
February. A full week of bicycling in a generally warm, dry, and rather
exotic location.
Death Valley has many miles of
gently rolling terrain on the valley floor, and a number of good
climbs to the east and west, all perfect for catching up on those
miles you?ve postponed all winter. We also hope to explore some
areas via hikes and mountain bikes, and are thinking about taking a
day to visit The Racetrack, located in the remote northwest area of
the park.
In addition, Furnace Creek Ranch has a non-chlorinated swimming pool,
available on a somewhat limited basis, which might be a great place
to relax and cross train before or after riding. There will be a
number of nighttime activities to choose from, the first and foremost
being discussions of the next day?s options. There will be
Ranger talks, Scrabble, Go, or simply relaxing.
The riding should be excellent. We plan to average about 50 miles
daily, although multiple options are available for those wishing for
more or less miles. The average high for this time of year is 72 and
the average low 46.
We call it ?Supper Camp? because our cook focuses on providing the
most nutritious and delicious dinners possible. Light breakfasts
(with Peets coffee) and lunches are also included. It will be up to
you to ride enough miles to not gain weight!
Death
Valley Century and Double Century. This year our camp coincides with
these events on March 4th. We know that there are some
riders might be interested and able to structure their week of
cycling around these separate events.
