Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Evening all, I have just booked flights to Spain for Aug 1-16. I will be near sierranevada.cc South from Granada in El Valle de Lecrin and will hire a bike from Cycle Sierra Nevada (CSN). There's very little flat nearby and I've been cycling there for the last 10yrs. This will probably be the fittest I've been recently - certainly bike fit so think I'm ready to tackle the Pico Veleta strava.com which I'm definitely not underestimating! Has anyone climbed it?

I also want to get the most out of the bike hire so will (subject to family commitments) ride as long and as hard as I can.

Has anyone done a 2 week camp?

The programme on the CSN is:
Saturday - Arrive at the airport, transfer to Velez, build bikes, optional light spin.
Sunday - We normally take a light/medium run on Sunday.
Monday - Start to build the up the kilometres with medium to long run.
Tuesday - Long day with lots of climbing.
Wednesday - Rest day or optional light coffee spin down to the beach.
Thursday - Ease back into it with a medium day in the saddle
Friday - Last day, long and steady
Saturday - Transfer to airport and depart

I propose doing 2 weeks back to back with the Veleta at the end (we stay at 600m and the altitude and heat it noticeable in the first days. I searched for generic tips (don't race everyday, don't eat too much etc..) but wondered if anyone had any tips they'd like to share noting I'll be a lone rider. rather than in a camp.

Got something to say?
