SUMMARY:2026 Santa Monica Mountains Spring Training Camp
DESCRIPTION:**2026 RMCC Santa Monica Mountains Spring Training Camp** **20
 26 RMCC Santa Monica Mountains Spring Training Camp** **What to expect**: 
 Kick off your 2026 spring season with a week of *challenging* riding in th
 e Santa Monica Mountains on the west side of Los Angeles. Participants can
  expect scenic hillsides\, sunny beaches\, smooth roads\, fancy cars\, and
  *challenging* climbs. **Dates:** Fly to Los Angeles on Saturday\, 3/21. R
 iding camp 3/22 - 3/28. Fly home Sunday\, 3/29. Join me for all of the day
 s or some of the days! **Travel:** Plan to fly into either Burbank or LAX.
  It's a 35+ mile drive to Calabasas/Thousand Oaks from either airport. Bur
 bank is a bit more convenient as the rental car facility is on the airport
  campus. **Motel**: Good Nite Inn\, Calabasas-Malibu. This motel is bare b
 ones but is inexpensive (for the area)\, clean\, and next to a grocery sto
 re. There are other inexpensive motels in Thousand Oaks and there are many
  *fancier* hotels in the area if you want a more posh vacation experience.
  There are also many AirBnb and VRBO options in the area. **Weather:** Tem
 peratures are generally pleasant\, ranging from the upper 60s and 70s\, th
 is time of year. However\, it is early spring and this area can still expe
 rience significant rain events in March. The last time we attempted a camp
  in the Santa Monicas\, we had to cancel the trip due to a multi-day atmos
 pheric river event that brought many days of heavy rain and flooding to th
 e area. Because of this concern\, *please make sure that your flights and 
 lodging are cancelable and fully refundable* if we need to cancel the trip
  due to an unexpected multi-day rain event. **Itinerary/routes:** Here are
  prospective routes for this trip. I've put together many more routes than
  we can possibly ride in 6 days\, but it's nice to have options. I've also
  put together some routes in Ventura and Santa Barbara as well. Participan
 ts can also free lance and do their own rides. SM 1: https://ridewithgps.c
