Albir
Gardens - Spring Cycling Training Camps 2013
9th
to 24th March 2013
 Why not have a week's cycling holiday and a week's cycling training at the same time? Our 2013 Cycling Preparation & Training camps are based at Albir Gardens in Costa Blanca, we also run camps in Majorca, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, not forgetting our very popular Sportive training camps in Skipton back in the UK, ideal for the likes of the Etape du Tour and La Marmotte.
The Costa Blanca is arguably one of the best places in Europe to base your pre season cycling training. It is a known fact that the weather is much warmer at this time of year than other European destinations, 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.
Our Cycling Preparation & Training camps will run during March.
You can choose to start on March 9th or March 16th, or even come for the full two weeks of cycling training. All levels of cyclist will be accommodated for each week and we will have groups for racing cyclists, cyclo-sportive riders and those more interested in leisurely riding.
All levels of cyclist will be accommodated for and each week we shall have groups for racing cyclists, cyclo sportive riders and those that want more leisurely cycle riding. Racing Cyclists rides will be led by current racing cyclists and will be aimed at those cyclists who are preparing for the following cycling racing season.
Cyclo Sportive rides will be aimed at preparing riders for completing an Etape du Tour or Gran Fondo cyclo sportive event. They will be run at a slower pace than the racing cyclist rides. Two days in the week there will be a mountainous ride over an Etape type route. Cycling leisure & touring rides will be at a slower pace and aimed for those riders who want to ride at a more sedate pace. During the week there will be informative seminars for both racing cyclists and cyclo sportive riders.
Accommodation:
We'll be based at the well known hotel complex of Albir Gardens, which has been specifically used to cater for sports groups. Set in beautiful gardens, it includes a heated indoor swimming pool, gym, tennis court, supermarket, laundrette and conference room. Accommodation will be in apartments on a half-board basis (bed, breakfast and evening meals). The hotel's buffet-style arrangements should satisfy even the hungriest of cyclists! Each apartment is modern and equipped with a twin bedroom, separate lounge with double sofa bed, bathroom, kitchen and balcony.
Families:
With so much to do, this resort is perfect for all the family and many riders bring their wives and children.
