Cycling training camps October/November

[lanternerouge]

Hi folks

Having stayed in the UK this summer due to a house move, I'm looking to book a cycling training holiday for October/November, I wondered if anyone had any recommendations? I am having a good google around too but thought it might be good to get some opinions from the good citizens of CC I would ideally like to do something like Andalucian Cycling Experience that is guided, has a bit of a social side etc.

Any ideas gratefully received!

Check out Exodus or Explore cycling holidays. I have done quite a few and they are alway very well organised and great fun.

the Costa Blanca is brilliant for cycling once you're off the main roads, fantastic roads plenty of climbing plus relatively cheap to fly into Alicante airport from the UK....but to be fair I'd imagine anywhere in Spain would be just as good...

here are some of many on the costa blanca

Denia based http://www.trainingescapes.com/training-venue/2_training-holidays/37_train-in-spain.html
Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TraininSpain
train in spain also do trips for the quebrantahuesos sportive 205km 3500 climbing


Javea based http://www.procyclingagency.com/?language=en

Albir and Oliva based http://www.ciclocostablanca.com/

or
Mallorca based http://www.stephenroche.com/

I think I took the picture on Ciclocostablanca page (Terry's back); he was Denia based but he must have moved. I cant remember who but I was advised you don't want to go to Spain later than Sep/Oct but I think they were wrong but I don't have the experience of the climate you do.

I haven't done a Stephen Roche holiday on Mallorca but I have used another company called Sportactive on a couple of occasions. They are very run and offer training camps both in October and in the spring.
