Christmas week

A few shots of Christmas week with Vamos cycling !

New winter trainer

Here's my new winter training machine. Its a Beone nirvana 2.0 frame which I got from chainreation bikes flood sale for £210, the rest of the bits where laying around in the workshop. Its built into a 30lbs beast but rides well. I've just had a weekend with a couple of friends from my Spanish club who stayed with their mujers at my house, very hard work trying to speak Spanish for a whole weekend. Also very funny watching pure Spanish roadies trying to tackle technical singletrack with their forks locked out ! I'm now gettiing ready for our busy Christmas.

Pico veleta photos

There are some great shots here of the climb all the way to the top of the pico veleta, from the Altimetrias website.

Sierra nevada limite road

Please have a look at our main site for more details of this event

Come and join us in southern Spain next July for a brand new sportive event. Called the Sierra Nevada Limité Road this will be a spectacular and tough event, bringing together two of Spain's best events. Taking place over a whole weekend with a cyclosportive on the Saturday and another on the Sunday. On the Saturday there is a choice of 94km or 202km around the mighty Sierra Nevada mountains climbing a total of 5280 mts on the longer ride and on Sunday we climb the Pico Veleta mountain, only 47 km in length but a height gain of 2565 mts finishing 3290 mts above sea level. This event has been running for years on its own, with the same winner for the last 10 years, but now joined with another challenge this will be a sportive to remember. Add to this a stay in the amazing city of Granada, after ride, barbecue and cycle exhibition and this will be a weekend not to be missed. We are offering this as a week package from Wednesday 1st July until Wednesday 8th July. We will be staying in Granada on the Friday and Saturday nights and at our amazing townhouse on the remaining days with rides around the stunning Alpujarra mountains from our doorstep.
