The road is only part of it.
We don't drop riders into a hotel, hand them a route file and call it an experience.
CIS HOTSPOTS™ is intentionally smaller and more personal. We live together. Ride together. Eat together. Recover together. The experience continues after the bikes are put away.

This is where CIS HOTSPOTS™ begins. A small group, shared destination lodging, Blue Ridge mountain roads, Parkway access, hard riding, real recovery and a place CIS already knows.
CIS Ride Intel™ / Proprietary Route Intelligence
Know the
road.
Before the road knows you.
Ride Intel™ gives you the intelligence that matters before you arrive — what the road will demand, where execution matters, and how to approach the day with purpose instead of guesswork.

Opening Control
EARLY EXECUTION
The road asks questions immediately. Control the opening, settle into the day and protect what you will need later.
02
Reset / Fuel
RECOVER + RELOAD
Use the opportunity to recover, fuel and prepare. The easier moments are part of the execution plan.
03

This is where preparation, pacing and restraint start showing. The goal is not simply to get through it — it is to execute it well.

FINAL EXECUTION
There is still work late. Ride Intel™ helps you arrive with enough left to execute instead of simply hanging on.

Why Montebello Works
Blue Ridge terrain gives us the demand. Ride Intel™ turns that terrain into a five-day progression with purpose.
Experience
Understand the Demand.
You receive the finished Ride Intel™: the customer-facing intelligence you need to understand the terrain, execution priorities and what the road is likely to ask from you.
Performance
Train the Demand™.
We use CIS Ride Intel™ to build your 8-week event-specific training around what Montebello will ask from you — so you arrive prepared to execute.
Ride Intel™ tells you what is coming.
Train the Demand™ makes sure you're ready when it comes.
Train the Demand™ makes sure you're ready when it comes.
Ride Intel™ is proprietary CIS intellectual property. The intelligence is delivered to the rider; the underlying methodology and process remain proprietary.

Before You Book
Readiness • equipment • lodging • food • weather
Rider Readiness
Montebello includes mountain roads, sustained climbing and group riding. You do not need to be the fastest rider, but you should arrive prepared for the demands of the terrain.
Bike + Equipment
Bring a roadworthy bicycle, helmet and equipment appropriate for mountain riding. Final equipment guidance will be provided with your rider communications.
Shared Lodging
HOTSPOTS™ uses shared destination lodging rather than a traditional hotel model. Living together is intentionally part of the experience.
Dietary Needs
Tell CIS about dietary requirements in advance. We will make reasonable accommodations where practical within the Farm to Table™ operating model.
Arrival + Departure
Final arrival, departure and local logistics instructions will be provided after reservation confirmation as the trip plan is finalized.
Weather + Routes
Routes, timing and daily plans may change because of weather, road conditions, safety or other operating considerations.
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions riders usually ask before reserving
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions riders usually ask before reserving
Can I come by myself?
Yes. CIS HOTSPOTS™ is designed around a small shared group experience, so individual riders can join the group without bringing their own crew.
Do I need to be fast?
No. The standard is readiness, control and the ability to handle the terrain — not being the fastest rider. Ride Intel™ helps you understand the demand before you arrive.
Can I bring a non-riding spouse or partner?
Non-rider guest space is not included in the standard package. Contact CIS before booking if you want to explore a guest option.
Can I rent a bike?
Bike rental is not included in the package. If local rental options are made available, those details will be communicated separately.
What happens after I pay the $750 deposit?
Your reservation is confirmed, your selected package is recorded, and confirmed payment creates your permanent CIS Passport ID. Rider onboarding and trip logistics follow.
When do I receive my CIS Passport™?
Your permanent CIS Passport ID is created after confirmed payment. Physical Passport fulfillment and personalization details are handled through the rider onboarding process.
What happens if Montebello fills?
Reservations will close and Montebello will move to a waitlist so we can contact riders if space becomes available.
