Former downhill world champion turned cross country racer Tracy Moseley is to offer a week-long women-only training camp in Verbier, Switzerland, on September 15-22.

Moseley, who will write a regular blog for Bikemagic after launching her own team for 2012, will run the camp in conjunction with Bike Verbier, to celebrate the company’s Women’s Week.

The 32-year-old, who won the world downhill title in 2010, will provide personal instruction on everything from downhill and technical riding through to cycling fitness, general bike handling and all-mountain riding skills. Assessment at the start of the week will ensure that training is progressive, pressure-free and carefully tailored to the skills and ambitions of those taking part.

Lucy Martin of UK-owned Bike Verbier said: “Our Women’s Weeks is always popular, and the training camp is a brilliant opportunity for riders to learn in just a few days what could take literally years back home.

“Tracy’s got a fantastic knack for sharing her experience and techniques in a way that’s fun, safe and guaranteed to leave our guests with far more talent and confidence than they arrived with.”

Places are limited to 10 riders, who should have an intermediate or advanced skill level and a good level of fitness before joining the group, as well as being comfortable riding singletrack.
