Reward yourself for your season of hard work and training with this end-of-season luxury retreat at Chateau de Camon in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains in France. We'll keep the cycling kilometers modest and spend our time enjoying this oasis of peace and the fabulous cuisine and vintages of their kitchen and cellar!

What's included

Six days of modest cycling and a daily informal discussion session led by professional endurance coach Marc Becker on various aspects of active living and combining these into a balanced lifestyle. During the week we'll discuss topics such as combining training and commuting, healthy eating for busy people, balancing the catabolic effects of endurance training with the need to recharge and rebuild, what's the best vintage wine ever, and other weighty subjects!

  • 7 nights accommodation at Chateau de Camon
  • 7 dinners and breakfasts
  • A daily guided cycle in the surrounding area
  • Transfer from Carcassonne airport or train station
