All our 2008 Preparation & Training camps are based on the Spanish mainland in Costa Blanca and the Castellon region, 1hrs drive from Valencia. The Costa Blanca is arguably the best place in Europe to base your pre season training. It is a known fact that the weather is much warmer than Majorca and has less wind than Lanzarotte, and is the reason why many of the top professional teams use the area for their pre season training. The roads are of good quality and there is a choice of either coastal, hilly and even mountainous rides, with some roads going to 1,200 meters.

We offer Preparation & Training camps to suit all abilities and budgets. Flights from most UK airports to Alicante or Valencia (depending on the camp chosen), can either be booked by yourself using low fare airlines or can be booked through ourselves.

From one of our satisfied clients on the 2004 Marcel Wust training camp...

Dear Sirs

On return from the Marcel Wust Training Camp 13/03/04 - 20/03/04, I would like to express great praise and respect to all the staff involved this year.

From Administration and Guides through to Mechanics and Masseurs, all staff were helpful and had a genuine interest in the sport and guests. Support, be it on the road or at the Albir Garden, was provided to the highest standard.

This final training period, has without doubt, ended my winter base on a high and I now look forward to the new Scottish Season this weekend.

I would be obliged if you could forward a full copy of the photograph taken on the steps of the Albir Garden with Alejandro Valverde to the e-mail address as listed.

Many thanks for another year.

Yours faithfully
Grant J Nisbet
