We are proud to announce EXPERIENCETriathlon's 2010 Spring Training Camp in Santa Barbara Wine Country - one of the top wine regions in the world!   Camp will be held April 8 - April 12 in the Santa Ynez Valley, located approximately 30 miles outside of Santa Barbara and about a 2.5 hour drive from Los Angeles.  Once again we will be staying in the quaint and charming town of Solvang, designed to look like a genuine Danish village.  You will think you are in Europe as you savor the old-world ambiance and fragrance of fresh Danish pastries while strolling the streets of Solvang after a long day of riding.  Join us as we cycle through scenic backcountry roads alongside sun-draped vineyards, oak-studded rolling hills, vibrant wildflowers, and majestic mountaintops - California wine country awaits!
