What's New
Physiological testing available when you visit us in France Top Sports Physiologist (and lecturer) at the French National Altitude Training Centre at Font Romeu, Sebastien Duc who also works with a top womens pro cycling squad is now offering an exclusive cycling physiological testing service for any of our clients that wish to use the service. Sebastien - using a powertap static bike rig - will test your max and mean power output capabilities (and much more) using a range of sessions over a 90 minute testing period. From the data collected we will be better able to tailor a more efficient bike training program for you. Posted by Mark, November 19, 2007 2008 Etape du Tour We're thrilled that the Etape has returned to the Pyrenees and want you to share in the excitement! Starting from the city of Pau on Sunday 6th July it will follow the exact route of stage 10 of the 2008 Tour de France including the monumental climb of the Col du Tourmalet (17.7km at 7.5%) before finishing on top of the Hautacam mountain, (14Km with an average ascent of 7.2%). You won't want to miss this one. Places are available now. Posted by Mark, November 12, 2007 Personal Training with your Holiday If you want a holiday in Pyrenees Orientales or the Costa Blanca region of Spain, mixed with a little training, then you can benefit from a full day (up to 6 hours) of coached bike riding. If you already have accommodation planned, call us now to talk about a day or two of bike riding with Mark. And if you don't konw this part of France, we can help choose your base and book great hotels, gites or B&B accommodation for you by the sea or in truly gorgeous little villages. You can be sure that time spent with Mark will reward you with a much better appreciation of 'biking' and certainly an understanding of how you can improve your technique and fitness for better results. Prices are £60 for a half day (up to 3 hours) and £100 for a full day (up to 6 hours). Please note an additional charge of £30 applies to the Costa Blanca region. Posted by Mark, November 3, 2007 New Programmes, New Ideas If 2008 hasn't arrived yet, our plans certainly have! We continue to offer One-to-One, Made-to-measure and Scheduled camps, and have a series of special camps planned with special guests. After making great use of the various open water swim venues in the area during 2007, we have decided to include "coached open water swimming" on our 2008 Easter Camp. We have managed to persuade Mark Bruce of the British Olympic Development Squad to take some time away from his punishing training schedule to be available for several swim sessions with us during the Easter Camp. Don't worry, we'll get him riding and running with you too! Please note you can also swim in a 50m indoor pool. Cyclosportives are becoming more popular than ever and we are planning to ride all the local ones. We want you to be here to share the scenery, the challenge and the fun.
