SPRING XC TRAINING CAMP IN GRANADA, SPAIN
Join World Top 10 Volvo/Cannondale star Kashi Leuchs (NZL) and former Junior World Champion Helena Eriksson (SWE) for a 7 day training camp in sunny Andalucia, from March 1 to 7, 2003.
Kashi and Helena will take you on a huge variety of cross-country training rides in and around spectacular Granada, which is at the base of the Sierra Nevada National Park. Trail rides will vary from 1hr beginner rides through to 5hr expert level rides. The camp is ideally suited for both male and female riders of all levels who are looking at getting an early head start on training for 2003, in the milder climate of southern Spain. Local English speaking national level riders will also join the training rides and show you their favourite trails.
The average daily temperature for Granada in March is 17 degrees Celsius and the average monthly rainfall is only 24.6mm.
