Training events will be organised in 2012, in conjunction with Rapha and La Fuga, designed to create opportunities to meet others taking on a Cent Cols Challenge. Details will be posted on this site as events become confirmed.
La Fuga will be sending out a customised training programme to each rider once their deposit has been paid.
In association with Torq Fitness advice on training and nutrition, both leading up to and on the event itself, will be sent to riders via Newsletters in the months leading up to their chosen Challenge.
Regular tips and advisory notes are given out through the Newsletters and as much as possible is done to encourage a sense of collective training in the months leading up to the Challenge.
Phil Deeker, creator and organiser of the Cent Cols Challenge concept, lives in the Belgian Ardennes, six kms from La Roche-en-Ardenne. The area spoils cyclists with hills that provide perfect training rides. It is a region used for training by many domestic pro teams from northern Belgium and Holland. Phil lives on the route used by both the Liege Bastogne Liege race and the “Claude Criquelion Sportive” – widely considered the toughest sportive in Belgium. He will be organising riding events in the spring to coincide with the Classics one-day races.
