The weekend after Easter I will be travelling via Copenhagen to the annual European MTBO training camp, this year held in Åhus, Sweden – just south of Kristianstad and about 1 hour east of the airport. The pre-season camp, sponsored by Merida Bikes, has a packed programme of races and training. The camp starts with a night sprint event on the Thursday evening, which sounds exciting, followed by various middle and sprint races culminating with a mass start long distance race on the Sunday.
Emily Benham, Great Britain’s female elite, is also attending the camp together with approximately 100 other athletes from around Europe.
Apparently the camp is also known for its social side but with the training commitment I’ve already put in this year together, with Swedish beer prices, I think Ill be concentrating on the racing !
Hey! After the training commitment over the last year, you’d better be there for the training & not the beer, or divorce will be on the cards!!!
Uh huh – all about the training?! Beer beer beer !!
There’ll be no divorce – Your loving wife would be bored without all that washing to do!
