Kristin Armstrong Cycling Academy

When last we spoke with Kristin Armstrong (Cervelo Test Team), she had just returned from her Gold Medal performance at the Beijing Olympic Games. What was originally scheduled as a 15 minute interview, soon turned into an hour long discussion about her winning ride, her career, and the nature of Women’s cycling.

And though Kristin remains on top of her game, winning today’s 104Km Stage 5 in arguably the toughest race on the Women’s circuit, the Tour de l’Aude, throughout the course of the interview, she also revealed what truly excites her now in cycling.

“I have in my mind...to continue working with and having my little camps for women cyclists…What I’ve learned over the last 6 or 7 years, I would love to teach people. I still have a lot to share with people and especially within the US.”

As such, she has embarked on a new venture, the Kristin Armstrong Cycling Academy.


“Hosted by Olympic Gold Medalist Kristin Armstrong and the best coaches in women’s cycling, Kristin Armstrong Cycling Academy is the premier race training opportunity in North America for female riders ages 15 - 18.”

The first camp, a Junior Development Camp sponsored by USA Cycling, starts on July 14th and runs until the 19th. To register, or for more information, visit the Kristin Armstrong Cycling Academy website.
