Le Sancture des Sportifs offers cyclists excellent all year round training opportunities.The same essential training experience that many French professional teams choose. Jean Delatour, Cofidis and Oktos, being just three of the fourteen or so cycling teams, who annually base themselves in Amelie les Bains, capitalising on the surrounding area and its favourable climate for their training camps.

We cater for all levels of cyclists from category one riders, through to cycle tourists. There are many great climbs over 1500 metres and a good selection of flatter routes which take you through the beautiful vineyards of the Cote de Rousillon.

Richard's local knowledge of the area means that he can guide, or plan for you, routes that will take you through some spectacular cycling country. Whilst as both a qualified British Cycling coach and experienced athlete (resident coach) he can offer more than advice on the best pit stop. Often working with you to improve both your technique and fitness (whilst here) and provide quality training programs (for when you are not).

	We specialize in clubs and groups of cyclists, tailor-making training holidaysto meet your requirements. We have found most frequently that this is best done after dinner on the first evening (and then briefly reviewed prior to each daily ride). We can however fully plan an itinerary before your arrival. To give you an idea of the quality and type of rides we use, please take a look at our "Ride Profile Page". However for the individual cyclist we also offer a number of specific training weeks ("Stages de Preparation").
