THE CAMP
FROM FIRST SKILLS

A premier, lodging-inclusive gravel development camp built around the real demands of Lauf Gravel Worlds: skills, decisions, execution, and the confidence to put it all together.
01
THE RIDING
Coached gravel rides that build from a fun skills evaluation to group skills, speed, racecraft, and complete event execution.
03
THE HOME BASE
Four nights at the unique 1950s-themed Graduate Lincoln, with Haymarket as the camp headquarters and the city right outside the door.

THE SOCIAL
A Gravel Worlds-style welcome, select Haymarket restaurants, and the power of bringing a community of riders together in one place.

THE COACHING
The perfect blend of focused learning and on-the-road coaching, with a high coach-to-athlete ratio that keeps feedback personal and actionable.
