What is the Bright Boot Camp About?

The Bright Boot Camp is structured around either the serious recreational rider or club racing rider who is looking for a challenging four days of riding. The Camp is focused on helping improve your fitness and general wellbeing as a cyclist. In the evenings we provide informative lectures on improving cycling performance. We regularly have riders going up a racing grade after the camp. We also have riders use the camp as training for their mid year European cycling trip or for the Tour of Bright.

Is there a difference between the Nov and Feb camps?
The Melbourne Cup weekend Camp does have a focus towards final preparation for the Tour of Bright race which is run in the area four weekends later. However, we ensure that this doesn't deviate from the serious recreational rider's enjoyment of the camp. It’s also a cooler time of the year than the Feb camp. The Feb camp is still as tough and usually the weather is a little hotter. Also the lectures change from camp to camp.

Who attends the camp?
Riders that attend the Camp are keen races or serious recreational cyclists that may have ridden rides like "Around the bay in a day", "The Alpine Classic" or the "Great Victorian bike ride" and are looking for the next big event. This is not to say that people that haven't ridden these events can't come to the camp. We get a good cross section of abilities and cater for them accordingly. Riders or groups of riders can also attend the camp and provide their own accommodation if they choose. We have people from all-around Australia and New Zealand attend the camp.

How hard is it? This is four big days of riding through some of the largest accessible climbs to cyclists in Australia. You do need to have a good cycling base before coming to this camp. For some, the weekend is filled with just four things; riding, attending the seminars, eating and sleeping. We do have shorter versions of the rides for those that want to take it a little easier or don't meet the fitness requirements to climb to the top of Hotham and Falls Creek.

Do you have on road support? Yes, we provide comprehensive on road assistance to all riders in the form of support vehicles and support riders that perform "domestique" duties.
