It's the off-season but professional cyclists are already in preparation for 2016. With the snow already falling in parts of Europe and America, cyclists chase the sun in pursuit of long miles in the saddle. Here's where some of the Bigla Pro Cycling Team have been training.

Lotta Lepistö
Lotta Lepistö has been doing two weeks of endurance training in Gran Canaria. Now she's back in Finland where she will be doing some skiing too.
After the trip to South Africa, Clara has been riding in Switzerland and Germany in the Lake Constance region. "Last week it was still beautifully warm, but at the weekend the snow surprised us, so that its also time for some runs, inside rollers and gym sessions :)"
If you've ever met Carmen, you'd know she is totally in love with her home, Durango, Colorado. She's been spending months riding on and off-road with her husband who is a professional mountainbiker.
Nicole is at home in Switzerland where the snow has started falling. "I try to do some endurance on the bike, till my fingers and feet are frozen." Nicole says she will do some skiing once the snow is thicker.
