PyrActif recommends:
Warm winter training
We love to ride our bikes all year round and thanks to the snow ploughs & regular road clearing which supports the ski industry, we’re actually able to do just that here in the Pyrenees.
But most riders, if they’re honest, would prefer to be riding in warm, sunny conditions rather than the more ‘bracing’ temperatures that we get in these mountains during February or March.
So, new for 2010, we’ll be ‘transplanting’ PyrActif to sunnier climes for a week or two in the early Spring.
We're heading to the semi-mountainous region of eastern Spain inland from Alicante, where we'll be based in a charming villa (formerly used as a training base by the US Postal team) with its own private pool and superb mountain views. This region has one of the best year-round climates in Spain and is a popular winter training ground for top pros like Luis Leon Sanchez and Alejandro Valverde.
The local roads feature regularly on the route of the Vuelta and offer a suitably challenging set of rides as you step up your training in the early part of the season.
We’ll provide all our usual back-up and support, but in a different location to our summer haunts. So, your trip will include:
Airport transfers (to/from Alicante or Murcia)
7 nights accommodation (twin or double room)
Great home-cooked catering - 7 breakfasts + 5 evening meals, with 'taxi' transfers to a local restaurant on the other two evenings of the week.
Support vehicle on two days of longer rides
Guided rides if you'd like to ride in a group or route mapping and ride advice if you prefer to 'do your own thing'
Optional bike hire
Workshop facilities and secure bike storage
Priced at only €570 per person this trip offers the perfect early season pick-me-up to get yourself in great shape for the rest of the cycling year.
The trip takes place between the 27th March - 3rd April 2010.
(Sorry - 27th March - 3rd April week is now fully booked. If you have a group of 6 or more we may be able to add a second trip, but contact us to discuss the options.)
