@Whorty if following @Aleman 's routes best not to try his shortcut down. I don't think you can always count on a tree to grab as you fly off the cliff.

I'm planning to sign up for a Training week or 10 days in Calpe which my coach is a part organiser of. I'll ask whether it is open to all, or restricted. I'd not heard of Calpe but when I had a look, it is a very popular area for cyclists and used by a lot of pro teams.

I suspect others on here will also have plans/options as well.

Looks nice down there :okay:

I'd probably choose to hire a bike too, so may see if I can find a company that organises rides and bike hire. Just never done anything like this before so not sure where to start
I've cycled in the Calpe region, Mallorca , Tenerife and Gran Canaria. As the others have said Mallorca offers all the options of pan flat days or epic climbs. Calpe was great - I stayed in Callosa d'en Saria with a company called CHS and Nozad the host was great and I'd imagine would be possible to book a one person room and join in with other cyclists he has staying - it's a villa for up to 10 people. I went there in late February and must admit we got a cold week with a few flurries of snow in the hills.

Been searching on 'tinternet, and found this : https://tenerifebiketraining.com/tours/tenerife-cycling-tour/

Some companies have nothing for this winter/spring as I guess covid is still playing havoc with their businesses. Need to check with work when back on possible dates, but end Feb/early March is target if brave enough to go on my own.
Carl, Alberto and Marcos are good mates of mine. The tours they do are excellent. For you I'd suggest the Volcano tour. Very much up your street in capabilities. Meet lots of new riders. Socialize in the evening over dinner. The Paradise hotel is the usual hotel.

Mention me and see your price double :biggrin:. No you couldn't be in better hands. Feb/March good time, more daylight and not sumner hot :okay:.

If you want me to message Marcos/Alberto to do introductions dont hesitate to ask ;)

Weight up slightly (again). Lower than it was this Time last year at least. Dry january and intermittent fasting should hopefully undo some damage.

It is good to have zwift punish you for gaining weight (to a point) so I'll try another hilly race soon with updated weight
 
Booked the family in for the “big bike bash” over the August bank holiday weekend.

Three nights of camping with a beer festival and live music, and three days of silly/fun biking events - lake diving, balance bike racing, longest wheelie/track stand, hill climb with kids shooting water pistols at you etc.

Apparently really good family fun according to someone we know who went last year, and run for charity 👍

Im no longer a Ventoop virgin

I set a marker for you lot, to show what getting fat. old and slow does to riding up ruddy big mountains -even simulated ones. 😄


Seriously, well slightly. I didn't fade, kept and nice high cadence, and rode it with a negative split 2hr15 @209W. I realise its not going to set any records. I bet Lee did sub hour :wacko:

All on the back of my biggest leg weights session yesterday. Pleased with my self :hello:
