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 (sometimes) more ‘bracing’ temperatures that we can get in these mountains during February or March.
Great 'early-season' climbs litter the region in which we're based.
So, in 2012, we’ll be ‘transplanting’ PyrActif to sunnier climes for a week or two in March.
We're heading to the semi-mountainous region of eastern Spain inland from Alicante, where we'll be based in a charming villa with its own private pool and superb views. This region has one of the best year-round climates in Spain and is a popular winter training ground for top pros like Carlos Sastre & Luis Leon Sanchez.
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)
7 nights accommodation (shared occupancy of a 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 (£150 for the week)
Workshop facilities and secure bike storage
Priced at only £549 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.
Dates are from the 17th-24th March 2012and from the 24th-31st March 2012.
(Discounts apply if you'd like to book for both weeks or bring a group of 5 or more riders. Single room occupancy is available at an additional cost of £210).
