June 24th – June 27th, 2011
Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to cycle on some of the most beautiful and traffic free roads in and around Mammoth Lakes. Mark your calendars. Registration opens January 6th, 2011.
Each day riders will cycle distances ranging from 30 – 60 miles. All rides include vehicle support. We will follow our entire ride, providing basic bike maintenance, food storage, and clothing caddy. You can always cut a ride short and jump in the support vehicle or add some more miles on your own once the ride ends.
Check out the comments from a few of last year’s participants.

In total, we rode about 165 miles over some of the most scenic and cycling friendly roads that California has to offer. Next year we will be at it again. This is what some participants had to say about their experience.
“I learned more in three days of riding at the Mammoth cycling camp than I would have in three months of riding at home. The scenery was amazing and the roads were smooth and safe, but most of all it was the support of the group that inspired me to push harder on a bike than I ever had before – and allowed me to actually enjoy it. The well-designed routes and the support vehicle made it possible for riders of all levels to safely challenge themselves at their own pace. I knew only a couple other participants prior to arrival, but Joby instilled such a mood of camaraderie and inclusiveness that attendees from all walks of life were soon one big family. I came for the biking, but the trail runs, group dinners, and evening hot tub sessions were great fun as well. I will definitely be back next year.” - Matt
“I had the privilege of attending the 1st Annual Team FC’s Mammoth Cycling trip. Coach Joby and his wife Mia spent many hours planning and organizing this trip, and it showed! Everything ran smoothly without a single glitch. Joby had route guides for us explaining in detail every turn of our journey. A support vehicle followed us every day making sure we were safe, providing us extra water, and took super-cool action photos! Team FC is a unique group filled with amazing people who are all positive, motivating and FUN! The camaraderie of the group is unmatched! We had all levels of riders in Mammoth and everyone was out to build confidence in each other and accomplish our goals as a team. I am so thankful to be a part of Team FC and look forward to many more trips to Mammoth!” - Carol
“The thought of a cycling camp in Mammoth was quite intimidating to me… all I can say now is WOW! Our group included ages from 14-50yrs old, all levels of experience – Joby planned each ride perfectly, so we all finished together – no pressure, no stress… you pushed yourself each and every day at your own pace… and it felt amazing!! Never once did I feel out of place. The support on the road and off was beyond words… from a support vehicle, to teamwork on the road, to group dinners each night together, I didn’t want this experience to end! It was like being on vacation with your closest friends… sharing the same common interest! What a well dreamt, well planned, and well executed cycling camp! I am so thankful I was able to be a part of such a great group of riders. Next year I will definitely be back, and I will bring the family.” - Jenny
“Attending your high altitude Mammoth Cycling Camp was definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had. The routes were challenging but beautiful; from the awesome view at the top of Minaret Vista at 9,300 feet, to the grassy farmland on the way to Bishop. The planning you put in for these rides made it so every cyclist at every level was able to do the same ride. This led to everyone having the same sense of accomplishment and bringing us all together. Having a support vehicle was definitely an added bonus. Seeing your truck pull alongside was a welcoming sight as I was the first one to get a flat tire on the second day, all alone on the 395.
In addition to the cycling in the morning, there were plenty of other activates from walking around the downtown village to sight seeing and even the mountain itself. The evening run/walks were great to bring everyone together and explore some different trails you wouldn’t be able to do on a road bike.
Of course I can’t leave out dinner at the condo. Thank you Mia, for putting together the best food in town. Being able to talk about the day while looking at pictures and planning for the next ride was a highlight. As for next year? Count me in!” - Sean 
“I had never been to Mammoth before until I attended Team FC’s Cycling Camp. It was AMAZING!!! Everyone on Team FC is very encouraging and full of positive energy. The bike rides were awesome! I never thought I could have accomplished so many miles and hills in 4 days! The dinners that were organized for us were a great way to end a wonderful day of cycling. Sitting around talking about how much fun we were having and looking at pictures from our previous ride was great. It was a great experience for my first time being in Mammoth. I will definitely return next year for some more riding and good times.” - Jennifer
“Well, Mammoth Cycling Camp was great! I came in worrying about how I was going to manage to keep up with the great demand of power that was needed to climb though the beautiful mountains of Mammoth Lakes… If there was a day when we didn’t feel 100%, we had our support vehicle waiting around the corner and they weren’t at judgmental but understanding. Joby and Ralph did a great job making sure we felt good on the road and made sure that nobody was dropped. The pre-route instructions were great The
rides were amazing and they were the right amount of distance – not too far not too short. The climbing was manageable and it all payed off when we reached the peak and took in the amazing scenery that only mammoth has to offer! Thinking about it I say its a no brainer – just sign up, you will not regret it!”

“I had an amazing experience as a beginning cyclist with Team FC in Mammoth. The rides were well planned out so that everyone started and ended together, and you were able to go at your own pace. And the scenery along the way was breathtaking! The people in Team FC are so caring and supportive of you everyday. They make you feel like you are apart of the family. I cannot wait for next year! I will definitely be going back.” - Maddie
