France: PyrActif Pyrennes Women's Only Training Camp

PyrActif offer three and seven night women’s only training camps from a restored French Farmhouse in the Pyrenees – home to some of the most celebrated climbs of the Tour de France.

Founded in 1994 by keen cyclists Steve and Brenda Mead, the camps are less structured than others, with less formal coaching and a focus on fun and logging miles in beautiful, hilly surroundings.
