Italian Training Camp in March

Folks, its that time of year again, the winter evenings are closing in and its hard to get out on the bike, why not book a Holiday cycling training camp, nothing like setting a goal to get you motivated.

If you have not been on one of these holidays before do not worry as there is something for everyone, there are 4groups going out cycling each day with a designated leader that knows the area.

If you do not want to cycle then relax in the Spa centre or else by the pool.

Every year for the past 10 years we have been going away to camps, for 2010 after talking to a number of you, and the consensus was a change was in order, and we should try Italy for a change.

I was talking to members of a localclub who were there in April of this year and they thought that it was brilliant, the spins were good with plenty of variety and loads to do when one was fed up of cycling

The camp is based on the east coast of Italy on the Adriatic Sea, with wonderful rides through the regions of Romagna, Marche and Tuscany.

The date for the camp is Friday March 5TH TO 12TH 2010
