FAQS

For a one week trip, we suggest you bring 3 pairs of shorts, 3 jerseys, 3 pairs of cycling socks, 3 undervests, 2 pairs of arm and leg warmers, gloves, overshoes, a rain jacket, gilet, helmet, eye protection and sun cream. If you are not renting a bike, then it is important that your bike is in good working order and that you have a pump, spare tubes, tyre levers and water bottles.

Apart from the Jan camp (which we don’t recommend for inexperienced cyclists), all our camps cater for all levels from novice through to elite riders.

This depends on which group you choose to go with. The steady ride will usually do 50-60 miles per day with 1 or 2 cafe stops. The intermediate and faster groups typically do 70-100 miles per day with 1 cafe stop. If there is demand, we can also offer shorter rides of 30-40 miles - please ask.

The average is 10-20.

Yes. The number of different level rides depends on the number of cyclists we have on the camp. In January there is usually just one group; there are typically 2-3 groups in February, early March and May, and then upwards of 5 groups during more popular periods including late March, April and October.

All ride leaders are experienced cyclists who have either raced or are still racing. Most have cycled for 10+ years and some are masters, national or world champions.

You are free to cycle with or without any of our groups. We will still offer you support in the event of an emergency if you are cycling on your own.

Yes we do have several different procedures for emergencies. It depends on the type and severity of the emergency. Some of our ride leaders have first-aid training, but we mostly use the Mallorca emergency services which are very good and efficient.
