2012 May Day Bank Holiday Sportive Training Weekends in the Yorkshire Dales
4th to 7th May 2012
 Join Sports Tours International for a specialist cycling training camp dedicated to preparing your for your next Cyclo Sportive.
Taking place in Skipton, North Yorkshire, this camp is ideal for anyone looking to take part in events including the Etape du Tour, Paris Roubaix or any other Cyclo Sportive.
We started the popular camps a few years ago as we noticed that some cyclists weren't getting the most out of their event. Whether this was down to a lack of training, or just underestimating how difficult Sportives are.
Here you can speak to the experts and get advice and support from peers.
Special offer - A limited number of Etape du Tour entries are available at £50 when you book your travel package! But hurry, numbers are limited.
The days will be split up into various key themes, including mechanical assistance, seminars on training, nutrition and bike maintenace. We'll also have route and profile analysis from experts about Cyclo Sportives.
