Spring Training Camp, Calella, Spain, April 29- May 10th!
After a great year in 2009 we are heading back to Calella again for the first week in May! Calella is a great little town with amazing riding, its on the coast with a marked 3.8km open water swim, bike shop across from the hotel and 50m outdoor pool next door and the most incredible Spa for post training relaxation. We are just a 45min train ride north of Barcelona so a great destination for our off day to go and see one of Europes most incredible cities
Here are some pictures from last years camp:

Barcelona
Calella is a cosmopolitan lively city with a typical Mediterranean climate, and lots of local bars and restaurants
The focus of the camp is on riding and is a great way to make some fitness breakthroughs and build confidence in your bike handling skills to start off 2010. We will also be running and swimming (with some underwater video analysis) and are right next to a 50m outdoor pool as well as the marked open water swim course (please bring your wetsuits) and there are marked run routes along the water front as well
The training program will be laid out by the NRG PT coaching staff and will be adapted to each individuals needs. In order to ensure that everyone is able to ride at an appropriate pace the rides will be broken into 3+ groups of similar speeds, the fast group will start 15-30min before the faster groups so that the groups will meet on the road, each group will have a local guide and a NRG PT coach with them. The riding in Calella is hilly but with a mix of flatter roads as well but proper gearing will make a big difference. The routes and terrain will be picked according to the abilities of the group.
We strongly recommend that you bring road bikes for the camp, there will be limited opportunity to ride in your aero bars so road bike are preferred. There will be rental opportunities as well with some top end Cervelo road bikes available (please contact Nigel for details)
We have also booked a group flight through British Airways
