Tried to bump my earlier post but it didint work. I want give www.vamoscycling.com a plug. I spent a week there at the start of the month, very good value, very good quiet roads, very good climbs, very good hosts, very good food. The house is totally set up for bikers loads of bike magazines, dvds, wifi, a work stand, bike tools, great showers, good rooms....

Here are a few of the climbs near by that I did.

They are based in Cadiar and will pick you up from Malaga airport if you book on the training week.

Emty and myself are interested in a training week with these guys, in my case would have to be before the end of March- anyone else interested? Barrabus spoke very highly of the hosts and service on the spin today, sounded fantastic. Escape this winter weather and get a good base in for the season.

careful not to over do it. The warmer weather and living like a pro makes you feel invincible, we spent a fortnight out there one feb, had a good base in before going. Took two days off in the fortnight, still did over 1,500 miles. Over some decent hills too.

Great thing to do, but control yourself distance and intensity wise, or you'll shoot your wad for months to come.

Nice having brown legs though!
