In April this year our club went to Majorca and attended the Dave le Grys training camp. You can read our blog from last year and see its not about hard cycling and there are different standards of groups to fit everyones ability: http://richardsonscc.co.uk/2010/04/majorca-blog/
Richardsons Club Club is again organising a week’s cycling to Majorca which will run from Monday 11th April to Monday 18th April 2011.
The training camp will be hosted by Master Coach http://www.mastercoach.co.uk/training-camps - click on the link for more details. There will be three group-led rides daily, catering for all levels and structured training is available. Coaching advice and support will also be provided. Reigning World Masters, British Senior champions and experienced riders will be there and willing to assist all riders. In addition non-cyclists who want to travel with their partners will be catered for.
The cost advertised for 7 days half board including transfer, tour guides, etc is £245 pp (£290 for sole occupancy). Additional costs will be flights to/from Palma. However for club members we have negotiated a price of £220 or £265 for sole occupancy. We will be staying at the Pollensa Park Hotel in Puerto Pollensa, Majorca which is situated in the north-east of the island, just above Alcudia. I have put the link for the hotel which gives you some photos/basic info. I have stayed at this hotel for a training camp on two previous occasions and it was an ideal location. Great base for cycle routes and nice on an evening if you fancy a stroll along the front to the town.

There is secure bike storage at the hotel and I know that I for one will be taking my own bike out. However bike hire can be arranged through a local shop: http://www.procyclehire.com/ . The club also has access to some bike boxes which can be loaned to club members free of charge.
If you are interested in coming along and are happy for me to do the organising please let me know by the end of November as there will be limited places. Deposit is £50 pp. These trips, and especially at this price, will fill up fast - beware!!
Will update as and when I have more info but if there is anything you would like to know in the meantime please drop me a line. Thanks, Hazel Grange.
