Mastering Endurance
Northern Spain offers superb mountains for my cycling boot camp. Rest assured, this training camp will prepare you physically and mentally for any cycle sportive or triathlon challenge. No need to take a week off work. We fly out from Stansted airport on Friday, hit the mountains hard for two six hour plus days of cycling, and fly home Monday. Beautifully simple.
On arrival in Spain, you and your bike will be transferred by minibus an hour westwards along the coast from Asturias airport to the town of Navia, where you will be based for the weekend. No need to unpack and assemble your bike after your flight; first stop is Gonzalo’s Bike Shed. He’s a professional bike mechanic, so relax, your bike is in good hands.
Also a formidable ex-pro rider, and weighing in at under 60 kilos, Gonzalo can best be described as a mountain goat on two wheels, and will be leading the group both days. I’ll be bringing up the rear, with any of you who may be struggling, so whatever your fitness level, we have things covered and guarantee you an unforgettable cycling experience.
Cycling Boot Camp Spain runs from May through to October each year. Longer three-day weekends can also be arranged. Cost is £250 for two days and £300 for three days per person, excluding flights and accommodation.
