2012 Sportive Training Weekends in the Yorkshire Dales

May and June 2012

Achieve your Cyclo Sportive goals with specialist cycling training camps to prepare you for your next event.

During our 15 years of taking UK cyclists to Sportives such as the Etape du Tour or La Marmotte, there's one common problem and that's that many riders are not properly prepared for the rigours of completing their chosen course. Sometimes this is through a lack of training, sometimes it's a case of underestimating quite how difficult the route is.

That's why we've put together a series of unique and very comprehensive weekend training camps to help you achieve your goals.

Our Sportive Training & Preparation camps will be based in the market town of Skipton, gateway to the Yorkshire Dales National Park at the excellent Hotel Rendezvous.

In order to get the most out of a training weekend we have decided to hold them over 3 long weekends in May and June, which will enable you to get 2 long and testing rides plus a short morning ride on the final day, as well as 2 important seminar evenings where we will discuss Training, Nutrition, & Bike maintenance.

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.

Check out the video below for a flavour of what happens on the camps...

Our 2012 Training and preparation camps:

Cyclo Sportive May Day Bank Holiday Training Weekend 2012 - 4th to 7th May 2012

Cyclo Sportive Spring Bank Holiday Training Weekend 2012 - 2nd to 5th June 2012

The training rides will be led by local riders who have excellent knowledge of the region's roads and who's on & off the bike experience will be a valuable asset to the weekend.

Our training rides have been designed to simulate a typical sportive route and will include 3 climbs in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. We hope to be able to offer 3 group rides catering for most abilities, so whether you are aiming to go under 8 hours or simply avoid the “Broom Wagon” there will be a group for you.

The training rides will be backed up by vehicular support and food and drink will be provided on the ride (energy products, plus fruit and soft drinks).

In the afternoon there will be mechanical assistance and you will have free access to the hotels leisure facilities.

In the evening their will be informative seminars on training, nutrition, & bike maintenance, by a panel of experts who have ridden various cycling events including the Etape du Tour.
