Default Best place to train in the UK

Hi,

A question for all of you out there.

Where is the best place to train in the UK?

The reason i ask this is because stupidly my club has asked me to ride in the national U23 RR, and i have agreed. I come back from france on the 27th June and the race is on the 11th July. i will be training hard in the pyrenees and need to continue in this country! but where?

The RR is in north wales, so lots of hills(which i like!).
Would somewhere like Yorkshire be anygood?

Thanks

Yesterday I was up around Chipping and Clitheroe, in North Lancashire. Some pretty tough climbs around there. Also there's a place called Chaigley which is hell.

The best road racers generally come from Yorkshire, and the Peak District. Its noticable that the road racing in the south is a bit easier than in the North.


So try the Peak District, there will be loads of people to train with too.
