I promised those at tonight's club meeting I would leave follow up links on the message board for winter training (riding) camps, in particular, Majorca (mallorca) Spain - a large island in the Mediteranean with perfect temperatures for riding mid January thru May and late September thru Novemnber - avoiding the summer crowd from mainland Europe.

To get a jump on the season, not to mention have a great time, a few
of us have signed on for a week at The Stephen Roche Bike Camp on the
beautiful Spanish Mediterranean Island of Mallorca.
Our dates: February 24-March 4, 2006.
Herewith is an open invitation for other NYCCers to join us.
Definites so far: Linda Wintner, Ellen Jaffe, Paul Hofherr, and Rick Braun.
The cost is about $ 700 per person for the week including double
room, two meals, cycling fee. Airfare additional.
If you don't bring your own bike, rentals are $115 for the week.
More than 10 of us garners a further 10% discount for all.
Daily rides for A & B cyclists that end by early afternoon, leaving plenty of
time for more riding, island touring, cleaning out the cycle
shop in Binnesalem. (With enough riders a C level group will be arranged)
Great cycling, congeniality nonpareil guaranteed.

More information can be obtained from their agent by e-mail at
[email protected]., or by contacting one of us.
Wondering how many people plan on going and how many of these are B15-17 riders.
Am giving serious thought to attending, but wanted to see what NYCC riding company I would have.
Also, are most participants bringing their own bike?

Ron
6 of us have signed up now, and more are still considering coming. Although some of us are A/B riders, at this time of the year we are probably all in the range that you mention (B15-17). Several of us plan to bring our own bikes, including me, but I hear that the camp rents out very good bikes. Hope that you join us. Let us know if you book to go too.
Now Linda Wintner, Ellen Jaffe, Paul Hofherr, Dave Sabarese, Kay Gunn, Ron Torok, and me will be at Stephen Roche cycling camp in Mallorca, Spain during the week of February 25-March 4, 2006. Come along!
Michael Giannella is going too.
