Spring Classics Week
OK, we’re quite aware that they don’t run the Spring Classics in the Pyrenees, but as ‘proper cycling fans’ we recognize that ‘the place to be’ in April is Belgium & Holland.
So, for the first time, we’re adding a Spring Classics package to our range of holidays. We’ll simply ‘transplant’ our support, logistics and expertise up to Belgium for 8-9 days and look forward to welcoming you if you’d like to get a real, close-up taste of what makes Classics riding such a fundamental part of this great sport of ours.
We will rent a large country property suited to providing a ‘PyrActif experience’ away from the Pyrenees. We’ll mix day-trips to watch key sections of the racing, with several days of guided/supported riding. So you’ll have your own opportunity to try riding on the cobbles and to pit yourself against mythical climbs like the Cauberg or the Mur de Huuy. Perhaps we’ll even be able to contrive our own sprint finish in the velodrome at Roubaix!
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 or ferry-port transfers (pick-up on Sat 17th; drop-off on Sun 25th)
6 nights accommodation in the country property; two nights (23rd & 24th April) in a 2-star hotel
Great home-cooked catering - 8 breakfasts & 6 evening meals. Two nights at restaurants on a 'pay-as-you-go' basis
Minibus transfers to key vantage points on race days
Minibus back-up on our key ‘long ride’ day across the cobbles
Route mapping and advice for your other rides
Optional bike hire
Workshop facilities and secure bike storage
The dates for this trip run from the 17th-25th April putting us in position to watch all three Ardennes classics - namely the Amstel Gold Race (18th),La Fleche Wallonne (21st) and Liege-Bastogne-Liege (25th). If you can't make it for the whole week, then we'll be offering 2-race packages to cover Fleche-Wallonne plus either of the other events.
For more details or to register your interest, by all means drop us a line. Places will be limited.
