This was based from the Cambridge Holiday Homes with the team meeting to discuss various issues including training programs with former Tour de France rider and now coach Hayden Roulston.
An “easy” training ride on the Saturday morning
covered just over 100km and almost 1,000m of vertical climbing around the local
area under a blistering sun.
Sunday saw a shorter training ride of approximately
72km and 750m of vertical climbing including some hill climbing at pace to
allow Hayden to assess current fitness. Conditions were again warm with patchy
drizzle avoided by the riders.
Full details of the routes ridden and hills climbed are on Strava.

Various video footage was taken over the weekend for
possible use in a documentary.
Riders were also briefed on the Mental Health
Foundation and their work and fundraising efforts. Donations can be made at https://events.mentalhealth.org.nz/fundraisers/jasonkelly/tour-de-france
The next training camp is scheduled for April 25 – 29th
inclusive in Christchurch with plenty of hill climbing training promised.
