F12 retreats offering comined cycling/golf retreats at Murcia's La Manga club

Four days in the sun combining the new golf and the old golf in one break

If you ever doubted that cycling was the new golf, doubt no more: holiday company F12 Retreats is offering four-night breaks at Murcia's La Manga club – a favourite for cyclists and golfers alike – that combines both activities in one package.

The breaks start at £945 per person and include two guided rides around Murcia and two rounds of golf on championship level courses. The price includes 'dynamic, inspiring training with F12's Steve Halsall'; we're assuming that's cycling training rather than golf training. Transfers to and from Murcia airport, breakfast and lunch each day, spa and hydrotherapy access and 'assisted recovery sessions' are all thrown in too. You don't even need to travel with your bike or clubs; you can hire them once you're out there.

We've been out on Fitness 12 retreats before on road.cc and can confirm that La Manga's a great place to give your fitness a boost in the sun, and the facilities and quality of accommodation is excellent. We can't comment personally on the quality of the golf courses, although we're told by our golfing friends who have tried them that they're very good indeed...

There's no date set as yet for the cycling/golf break, but if you're interested then drop the chaps at F12 a line at info [at] fitness12retreats.com and they'll keep you in the loop.

Let's not forget that golf is mainly for middle aged, middle class men who get monthly magazines about the sport.

Oh!

Cycling can't be the new golf. Golf is a passion of people who spend too much money on funny bits of carbon fibre and titantium, are always looking for the next invention to make them go further or better than others, wear silly clothes and shoes, and get up at ungodly times on a Sunday morning to do it with other nutters.

Oh, hang on.
