LES LANDES, France, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Cycle Training France at http://www.CycleTrainingFrance.com gives cyclists an opportunity to train in some of Europe’s most idyllic settings with new training camps and guided cycling tours. One new addition to the cycling arena are rowers who cycle.
Just like cycling, rowing is an excellent source of cardiovascular training, more rowers are embracing cycling as a regular part of their training regimen.
Cycle Training France is located close to pristine waterways, known by many rowers who witnessed the spectacular cycling roads stretching through France’s Les Landes countryside. “Rowers who also cycle find our Villa Souvenir is a first choice with four wonderful landscapes perfect for training and continual inspiration,” said Peter Saborowsky, ex-Olympic rower, long-time cyclist and founder of Cycle Training France.
The firm specializing in cycle training camps is headquartered in Villa Souvenir, an estate built in the 1930s and located south of Bordeaux along the Atlantic ocean, close to Biarritz, near the majestic Pyrenees. Cyclists use Villa Souvenir as a hub for cycling trails that skirt beaches, wind through Western Europe’s largest forest and climb into mountainous terrain.
Using Villa Souvenir as a hub is unusual as most other cycling tours go point to point. This means cyclists don’t have to change beds each night and live out of a suitcase carried in the support bus.
The new cycling camps and tours were started at Villa Souvenir in response to the very positive experiences of elite and serious amateur rowers who had used it over the past two decades. “Acclaimed gold medallist rower Thomas Lange spends extended cycle vacations here and the Dutch and German National rowing crews held rowing and cycling training camps here,” Saborowsky said.
Cycle Training France offers guests excellent meals and training-oriented food prepared by their own accomplished French chef.
The Villa is located in its own large wooded and tranquil parkland, where being able to collapse in a hammock after training is a welcomed alternative to the usual bedroom retreat.
Guests frequently comment on the star-filled country sky, a sight not often seen in larger communities and cities. In spite of all the features and amenities, Cycle Training France guided tours and training camps are priced affordably.
