Boardman will be in contact by email to arrange your prize. We were up there last week, it is truly amazing, we hope you have a great time, do let us know how it goes! 

On Monday 30th April Boardman Bikes are opening their brand new Performance centre in Evesham in the Cotswolds.

To celebrate the opening of this world class facility, Boardman are giving one extremely lucky reader the chance to win a Complete Performance Package on a day of your own choosing (subject to opening times of course!).  This is the Centre's top of the range package and these kind of facilities, until now, are the kind only absolutely top riders would have access to. The Boardman Performance centre changes that, as it will be open to everyone.

This all day experience is worth £1000. And seriously, it looks like a cracking day any cyclist serious about improving their performance would love to win.

So let's look at what exactly the day involves.

This is where you'll spend the day:

And here's the Wind Tunnel Prep Room, from where you'll enter the Wind Tunnel itself

And though it's not quite finished yet, here's the wind tunnel concept:

Looks pretty impressive, doesn't it? 

So, in essence, your prize is made up of the centre's premium Physiology, Biomechanic and Aerodynamic services combined, with the goal of setting a baseline in each area and using the tools available to improve performance holistically. The package retails at £1000 and will take a day at the centre (of the winner's choosing) where you will see specialists from each area and, as the name suggests, get the complete service offering from the team and facility.  

Here is an overview list of the desired outcomes and more detailed list of what this service includes.
