I have the week off work from 22nd to 27th Feb and was planing to spend as much time as possible training&/riding at home in Denmark but the weather is awful. It is about -5C at the moment and there is a lot of snow everywhere so I have been considering heading south for a few days with my bike. The other half is OK with the idea, but given the notice, I will be on my own.

So does anyone have any suggestions?

I can't find any organised winter training camps to join and I can't really be arsed to spend days on my own in a cheap hotel.

Perhaps I could/should spend the days in the UK staying with the family...

Perhaps a tour of exmoor/dartmoor area, then head back early to the Mrs to surprise her and earn brownie points (or find her in bed with the milkman)

Just had a group of Danes out on a training camp week with us. 6 days out of 7 were warm and sunny.

Alan, do you get a lot billy-no-mates? I was considering something similar to the OP, but was a bit reticent about potentially spending a week with a load of people who all knew each other and thrashed me up all the hills.

We get a lot of singles. A ride or 2 and the group has bonded, job done.
Plenty of good bars and restaurants at night also.
