Having spent the last few weeks trying to muster up the will to get some serious miles in for the coming season we’ve decided that a training camp is the only answer.

A couple of us from the RCUK/SheCycles team are escaping the roads of Britain and heading to Italy’s East coast resort in Riccione in search of some warmer weather (although the forecast featured a little too much snow for my liking last week!)

We’ll be staying in the Hotel Perla with Riccione Bike Holidays who will be structuring our hours on the roads of Italy and providing us with Eddy Merckx bikes.

Everything is tailored to the specific needs of you, as a cyclist. Laundry services are available with attention paid to the materials used in sports clothing, there’s plenty of choice of food to refuel with after the days exertions and a doctor and masseur are on hand should you sustain any sports injury.

We’re flying out on Saturday so, we’ll be bringing you full reports next week.
