The Nove Colli Training Week 2012

Italian multisport hotel Perla have teamed up with Elitecycling Performance Coaching to offer a training camp specifically to improve your cycling fitness & technique as well as a Pre registered place on the 2012 Nove Colli Grand Fondo Event.

The one week Camp will take place in the beautiful romagna region of Italy on the 15th May – 22nd May 2012, and provides both the best cycling routes & facilities in the area. A beachfront cycling & triathlon specific hotel with half board basis, training parks, running tracks, 25m & 50m pool, large well equipped gym and MaxiFuel Nutrition fuelling the most exciting riding in Italy.

Whether you are a Racing Cyclist, triathlete or a Sportive rider this camp has all the ingredients to not only improve your fitness but there will be plenty of opportunity to learn from one of the most experienced coaches in the UK in Paul Mill – Owner of Elitecycling along with his staff.

So what makes this Camp different? Well obviously we can talk about the endless quiet roads with spectacular scenery that made Marco Pantani so famous. We could also tell you of the 20 allocated spaces we have Pre booked for the Nove Colli Event on a first come first served basis. We are also planning to provide our very own feed station on the event purely for our clients which will be fully supplied by our Nutrition sponsor Maxifuel so you can see a welcoming face and have your own food and drink for the remaining distance of the race. The main emphasis for us as a Company apart from helping you have the best holiday possible is to improve you as a rider by teaching you to ride safely in a group, learn how to conserve energy on the climbs and how to descend fast but safely. It won't all be hard work though and with the beach across the road and a vast array of shops you will always be entertained.

Cycling Training, Routes & Bikes

The Riccione area or Romagna region as it is known was the training area of choice of the Great Champion Marco Pantani. There are a vast network of roads climbing rolling coastal roads, flat countryside and also mountainous terrain. Don't miss this great trip and climb the legendary climb of Cippo which has figured in the Giro d Italia. Riccione is still highly regarded as one of the best places to train and The Hotel Perla has numerous professional teams visiting them on a regular basis.

If you don't fancy taking your own bike to the camp we can arrange to hire one on your behalf. These can be standard aluminium frames to top end Carbon Colnagos and price of hire is dependent on model and brand. All you need to do is tell us what size you require and if you have something specific in mind and when you arrive the bike will be ready for you.

Swimming Pool, Gymnasium & Running Tracks

For the Triathletes among our party wishing to cross train and a very short distance away is the Riccione Sports complex that has a 50 metre outdoor pool and a 50 metre indoor pool. The Indoor pool is usually split to 25 metres to accommodate more swimmers but we have arranged for the outdoor pool available if the weather is favourable.
