Bahati's Ultimate Pro-Tour Cycling Experience gets additional star power

Published: Jun. 25, 2009

Carson, Calif. – Reigning United States criterium champion Rahsaan Bahati won't be the only star doing the pedaling at the Ultimate Pro-Tour Cycling Experience camp presented by Bahati Racing and Cannondale in mid-July in Aliso Viejo, Calif.
 
Daytime Emmy Award-winning actor Shemar Moore will meet camp participants when they participate in his charity ride to benefit the MS Society during the four-day cycling training camp. Moore plays Special Agent Derek Morgan in the CBS hit series, “Criminal Minds.”
 
There is still time to register for the Ultimate Pro-Tour Cycling Experience camp. From July 16-19, cyclists will receive professional riding instruction, learn racing tactics and skills, and receive expert advice about sports nutrition, recovery, strength training and time and energy management. 
 
Bahati, who will be aiming for his third consecutive victory at Sunday’s Manhattan Beach Grand Prix, said he is excited about the opportunity to fine tune and enhance the skills of cyclists of all abilities. He is the camp’s primary instructor.
 
“I’m also pleased that everyone will get a chance to meet my friend Shemar, whose mother suffers from multiple sclerosis,” Bahati said. “Not only will they be getting the best in cycling instruction but they will also get a chance to show their support for a worthwhile cause and participate in a fun event.”
 
The Pro Cycling Experience includes fully-supported rides with support bicycles provided by Cannondale, sag and support vehicles to keep cyclists safe; on-site mechanics to keep bikes cleaned and tuned; on-staff masseurs to provide daily massages for peak performance and optimal recovery; a professional bike fit to ensure bicycles are custom adjusted to individual riders; chiropractic adjustments to keep everyone fine-tuned physically; daily lectures and skills clinics to educate participates on best practices; and ride appropriate nutrition lessons to inform athletes of how to get the most out of their daily food and beverage intake.
 
Camp participants will also enjoy first-class accommodations at the Renaissance Club Sport Resort in Aliso Viejo, Calif.  In addition to its extensive full-service workout facility, rejuvenating day spa and top-rated restaurants, its guest rooms provide a one-of-a-kind, relaxing experience.
 
The four-day Ultimate Pro-Tour Cycling Experience camp presented by Bahati Racing and Cannondale includes all activities and accommodations for $1,400. Food and beverages are also included (with the exception of alcohol). For information on registering, visit the Bahati Racing website at www.bahatiracing.com .
 
Bahati is one of the most successful American cyclists on the road and track, having won more than a half-dozen national championships during a professional career that began in 2001. He is a member of the Rock Racing team.
