THE ATHLETES
Epic
Camp France is set to commence from Lyon, France on Sunday 14th
August 2011 (assemble Saturday 13th).
The
Route:
The route will test everyone who attends no matter how
strong they are, We’ll be taking in many of the classic
Tour De France Climbs. There will be no easy days!
From Lyon we will head north to the beautiful lakeside
town of Annecy. The climbs we will pass will include Col de Grand
Colombier, Col de Joux Plane and Col de la Colombière.
After two nights in Annecy we will bike South to Le Grave (about
30km from Alpe D’Heuz). There will be no shortage of altitude
gains with climbs of Col Du Telgraphe, Col Du Galibier, Col de
Croix de Fer and the infamous Alpe D’Huez. The final two
nights of the camp will be based in Embrun home of one of the
toughest Iron distances races in the world. Aside from checking
out the great cols of the area there will be some brilliant open
water swimming.
This camp is not for the faint hearted. If you are interested
