Ontario Cycling is conducting a Winter Endurance Camp Call for Interest. The camp will provide 7-10 days of early-season base miles under the support and direction of certified coaches and experienced ride leaders. The camp will take place in mid to late February [i.e. Feb. 12-24] in a North American warm weather location.
