Summer Camp2026

Five days based in Paso Robles. Riding, eating, soaking, and hanging out in a part of California we love. Come for a day. Come for all of it.

Jul 8–12, 2026Paso Robles, CA
DCC Summer Camp 2026
The invitation

A trip with friends, not a tour package.

This is the first time we're packing up and going somewhere together, and we picked Paso Robles: rolling roads, golden hills, good coffee, better wine, and the kind of long, quiet climbs that make a weekend feel like a reset.

There's no script and no pressure. Arrive any day, stay for any part of it. Roll in for a single ride and a dinner, or settle in for the whole stretch. There's no DCC registration fee, so you just book your own room and show up.

Bring your bike, bring your snacks. We'll handle the rest as it comes together.

Why we're going
The best part was never the route. It's who you ride it with.
Questions, plans, roomies

It all happens in the group chat.

We run the whole trip out of one WhatsApp group. Ask and answer questions, sort out which days you're riding, and find someone to split a two-queen suite with. Hop in, say hi, and plan it together with everyone else who's going.
