Sports Tours International with Cycle Gran Canaria and Cannondale pro & Xterra World cup winner Sam Gardner have planned
the Dextro Energy Triathlon specific training camp to include an entry to the Dextro event in London for the first 20 athletes
to sign up for the camp. Entries are now sold out to this race, so this is a fantastic opportunity to train in the sun,
learn from the best and savor the anticipation to August.
Gran Canaria has quietly become the training island of the Canaries, perfect weather, perfect roads with awesome climbs up to
2000m, you can log 4000m in a single ride! There is low wind, endless winding roads through high forests, and of course gradients
up to 26% to train on.
There are 2 x 25m pools with exclusive lane use and enclosed running tracks, both stadium and public, along with endless
miles of running tracks that take you into the mountains and back to your hotel where you have your own private bungalow set
in palm tree gardens surrounding 2 pools, one heated 67m pool and one cold pool for that post ride ice bath!

Basically everything the cyclist needs!
For everyone with a bike, air travel is becoming more and more bothersome, with many hidden charges and
increased weight charges. So why not leave your bike at home and ride a 2010/11 Cannondale road bike.
All bikes are expertly maintained and serviced after every user, and you are guaranteed a current or
next year model for your cycling holiday.
All new for 2011 is the CAAD10, anyone who remembers the CAAD8 or CAAD9 will know just how lightening quick the Cannondale alu frames are,
and the CAAD10 is no exception!Lighter than most equal priced carbon frames,it combines the SAVE technology to make this very rigid bike an
extremely comfortable ride.
Check out the idea behind the CAAD10 here

This will be the standard bike for all Cycle Gran Canaria Road Camp for 2011 season, the Synapse 105 will be delisted as stocks last
It's a Giro winning, UCI rule changing sort of bike!
