It's that time of the year again. We're looking at our Warm Weather training week away for 2005.
We plan on going back to Hotel Beau Soleil in Cesanatico, a coastal town in Northern Italy.
The proposed dates are April 26th - May 3rd
There is a bank holiday on the 2nd May...
The hotel is beside the beach, and caters specifically for Triathletes. It has a heated, clean, 25m laned pool to which we have all day access. The price covers half board - continental brekie (fruit, cereal, bread etc.) and a four course evening meal with a choice of 3 or 4 dishes.
The week will be a lot like last years. We hope to have some of our coaches out there pushing (encouraging) us. Its a great week to get you up to speed or build a base for the race season here. It suits all levels from complete beginners to the more experienced athlete.
This week started off a few years ago with 2 going, then 6, and last year we had 17 out there (50/50 split beginner/experienced)so this year we hope to have even more going.
Last year some brought bikes out with them but most rented what were good quality road bikes from the hotel.
We'll have to stage the BMX champs again, there have been calls for a rematch.
We won't know exact costs until we know how many are going.
Approx Costs:
Flight and transfer costs are approximately ?160 pp. (Aer Lingus Dub-Bol)
Hotel - 7 nights half board in a double room is ?308 pps. (This includes your breakfast and dinner)
Bike rental for the week is approx ?60 pp. (Aer Lingus charged ?40 to bring your own)
Coach for the week is approximately ?60pp (depending on numbers).
Total Estimated Cost ?588
The club gets nothing out of this. People book and pay for their own flights and settle up with the hotel at the end of the week. We may get a cheaper price depending on flight offers/numbers staying at the hotel.
Partners and kids are all welcome. We had a few supporters last year who spent quiet a bit of time on the sun loungers. The more the merrrier.
I'm only trying to get numbers together at the moment to see who would be interested in going.
Please post up here if you're interested or have any questions, or send me an email to wesley.murphy@helaba.de.
