Training with Pro team Astana

A mountainous endurance training ride with the 2011 Astana Cycling Team in the Costa Blanca area in Spain. Starting just outside the town of Pego, the route heads south via Sagra and past lush orange groves to the climb to the village of Benimaurrell. After the ride down to the village of Jalon, you are then challenged by a great loop ride that takes you to the climb to Bernia and back to Jalon. This main ride is 65 km. As a bonus, you can also climb the 15 km to La Vall d’Ebo together with the team.
