What's the minimum level of fitness required to participate?
It is recommended to meet some minimum fitness standards, as you’ll risk not getting the most from this experience. As long as you ride your bike regularly, at least 3 days a week (at least 7 hours total), and are comfortable with rides of about 90km on hilly terrain, and up to 120km on a long day, you are good to go. It will be challenging, for sure, but that's why you are coming, isn't it?
Will I be able to keep up with the team?
The answer is simple. YOU ARE THE TEAM! We will always adjust to your level so nobody will get left behind. Ever. We welcome riders with a wide range of experience and abilities. The only requirement is a strong passion for cycling and the drive to improve. Any concerns? Email us!
How many kilometers will we ride per day?
Here, we prefer to talk in hours instead. Rides last between 4 and 6 hours, with one coffee/recovery ride in the middle of the week. Do you think it’s too much for you? Don’t forget that with massages, nutrition, coaching and the fact that we take care of everything else, getting back on the bike each morning will be easier than what you have ever imagined!
How are the rides organized?
Every morning at the briefing each rider will receive personal goals for the ride to come based on their abilities and level of fatigue. We all take the road together, as a team. On the short (rare) flat sections, the strongest riders will lead the group. On hills, each rider will climb at their own pace with a powermeter. The riders who reach the summit first will turn back down to catch the last riders. Nobody stays inactive at the top. It means some extra miles for the fastest riders and some support for the slowest ones in the last part of the ascents.

What meals are included?
Three meals a day are included: breakfast, lunch and dinner. On the first day, arrival day, only dinner is included. On the last day, the departure day, only breakfast is included.
What kit or accessories should I bring?
We provide the following items to each rider : bib shorts (bib tights in winter), short-sleeved jersey (long sleeves in winter), socks, and helmet. However, depending on the period you come to Mallorca, we recommend bringing some extra warm clothes like a rain jacket, arm warmers, or some winter clothes. Black items and accessories are preferred. For more information, consult our “How to Pack” page.
IMPORTANT: Bike, helmet, and GPS must be returned in good condition at the end of the week, so please make sure to take care of them!
Can I bring my own bike?
Yes, you can. However, we recommend that you ride one of our full carbon bikes. Traveling with a bike is expensive and risky; it can be lost, damaged, or delayed. And don't worry about your riding position; our mechanic will replicate the exact settings you are used to at home (saddle height, angle, setback, etc.), thanks to our Bikesettings.com tool.
Is there a discount for bringing my own bike?
Yes. A discount of 80 euros will be applied if you bring your own bike. However, we do not assume responsibility for its safety or any damage. You will also be responsible for any spare parts that may be used during the camp if you decide to bring your own bike.
