CLIP-IN CYCLING CAMP

2025 DATES: Sunday, August 17 – Thursday, August 21

Clip-In Cycling Camp is an annual tradition at The Little Nell, welcoming cyclists of all abilities to ride Aspen's most scenic routes, enjoy the premier services and amenities of the hotel, and connect with cycling enthusiasts and former pros. Christian Vande Velde returns as the host. A former professional cyclist, Christian now works as an analyst for NBC Sports including the Olympics, the Tour de France, and the Vuelta a España, and is a popular Peloton instructor. Special guest Bob Roll joins us this year. “Bobke” is a former professional cyclist, author, and analyst with NBC Sports perhaps best known for his colorful commentary during the Tour de France. Former professional cyclist Travis McCabe returns to round out the pros. Travis rode professionally for several teams and now works for Ventum, the camp’s official bike sponsor, as an athlete manager and event coordinator. Ventum founder and CEO Diaa Nour and CFO Barrett Brandon will also take part in supporting riders at camp.

Ventum provides all athletes with the use of their state-of-the-art NS1 road bikes or ES1 electric bikes along with a bike fitter and mechanic. New this year – Ventum is offering the option to “build your dream bike” with their team customizing your design at a 40% reduction off the list price, delivery to Aspen for bike fitting and maintenance during camp, and shipping to you afterward.

As part of camp registration, all riders will be provided with a gear bag filled with three custom cycling kits and accessories, a helmet, three pairs of socks, sports nutrition snacks, drinks, water bottles, and sunscreen. Participants should plan to bring shoes and pedals.

In Little Nell fashion, exceptional culinary and wine experiences are a part of the itinerary led by the acclaimed culinary and wine team.
