Camp 1 - June 19 to June 26, 2004 Camp 2 - June 28 to July 5, 2004 Limit 8 riders per camp |
Clásicas These hugely popular and extremely well organized events are put on by large cycling clubs and are supposedly not competitive but a certain amount of friendly competition between clubs and riders is always present. These events are ideal for recreational racers and touring riders. The clásicas include aid stations with food and drinks, road marshals along the course, and placing. Prizes like medals and jerseys are awarded at these events depending on your placing. Taking part in a clásica is a great way to test yourself against your Basque cycling counterparts. They also serve as a great introduction for riders who think they may want to try racing in Europe but aren't sure of their ability yet. Ability levels of the riders in these events range from category 2 racers in the US to that of a fitness/touring rider. The 2003 touring clásica calendar is
available here. If you will be staying with us over the weekend of July
3rd, you will get the opportunity to ride in a large fully-supported Spanish
clásica, the Jesus
Loroño clasica. For more information on some of the hills in the
