Gran Canaria has the best roadbike training camps available right through the winter months. The rising popularity of the
island for training is due the unique combination of perfect roads, low traffic, low wind, great accommodation and an endless
selection of Cat 1, 2 & 3 climbs and at least 2 HC monsters!!
So if you want an alternative to the mile long über-peletons of the Balerics or from eating wind-blown sand all week in
Lanzarote, then you'll find Gran Canaria is a new and challenging experience for amateurs, novices and seasoned cyclists.
Choose from a range of high end current year bike models included in the price to ensure that this is a stress free
holiday, and at only €575.00 per person sharing and ex flights is extremely competitive against other destinations with similiar packages.
Once here all local management and guiding taken care off by professional bike companies with English, German, Spanish
and Irish staff, ensuring that your winter cycling holiday on Gran Canaria goes right first time, everytime!

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, remember you need to book with your height to confirm your bike
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
