Training camp for road cyclists at Lake Maggiore, Italy
The trip is a training camp for members of Atlas Copco IF that are interested in cycling a racing bike on roads. The target groups are (i) members that train road cycling regularly and participate in races, such as Vätternrundan and Siljan Runt, and (ii) members with some experience in road or mountain bike cycling that are reasonably fit. For category (i) you should have experience from group cycling and manage to cycle up to 80 km in day. For category (ii) you should have experience from road or MTB cycling and click-in pedals and be able to cycle 50 km in a day.
The training camp to Lake Maggiore (Lombardia) in northwest of Italy, includes three cycling days with guided training sessions each day. Each day two guided sessions (50-60 km and 70-90 km, respectively) are organized in hilly mountain terrain and therefore a reasonable physical endurance is needed in order to enjoy the sessions.
