Mallorca with Sport Tours International?

FransJacques

Has anyone tried the training camps in March with STI? I'm looking to go and am wondering what the format is like, what the riders are like, how big the groups are, etc. Is it really balls-out chaingang stuff or more like base miles?

GPM10 also does camps but they're in April (and full) which IMO is too late in the year since it's over 10C in the UK by then (usually...).

Thanks for any experiences.

Can't comment on Mallorca, but did their camp in Lanzarote and had lots of riders, broken into 3 groups of roughly a dozen riders -- Fast racers (Cat1/2). Medium (Cat 3) Medium (Cat 4+).

They had support riders and a van following, you could sit in the pack and do base, or take turns at the front (into the notoroious wind) and do threshold.

I was in Mallorca in 09 and the weather was changeable, the terrain is perfect tho -- mountains to the North, Rolling/Flatlands to the south. Quiet roads and gazillions of cyclists

Andy Cook used to run these camps through sports Tours international. He's now doing them for himself.
All standards are catered for and I would highly recommend them.
