Have you ever dreamt of being a pro cyclist? To be part of a cycling team? To train, eat and rest like them, in Mallorca, where all pro teams come for training? This is what you'll experience with the Sa Calobra Cycling Club : the best training camp in Spain for recreational cyclists!
Almost everything except the flights! If you have any questions, please send us a message.
Depending on weather conditions, ability of the group, and level of fatigue, the following plans are subject to change. This is a bespoke training camp, so we adapt everyday, like a pro team!
After picking you up at the airport, we will drive you to our base camp, where you will meet your new teammates, the staff, and have your first dinner as a team. After dinner, we will have a long briefing about the week ahead of us, and will have you trying the cycling kit and helmet, while bikes will be set up and adjusted by our bike mechanic, Marc. Congratulations, you're officially a SCCC rider!
After having your first 100% homemade breakfast, and getting a safety briefing, we will head out for a 3.5-hour ride, including a 20-minute effort test on the Sa Batalla climb to measure the FTP of each rider, and be back in time for massages, workshop, etc.
Daily routine: breakfast, briefing, ride, lunch, recovery with compression boots and Compex, massage, workshop and dinner. It's time to live like a pro! Stay focused on your training and your recovery, we will take care of everything else, from cleaning bikes to washing kits. That’s the pro team experience!
We call it the Queen Stage! This is certainly the most difficult ride we've ever done in Mallorca! We will conquer 6 climbs, so make sure to save some energy because we will tackle the only Hors-Category climb on the island, Puig Major, an iconic climb in Mallorca (14km at more than 6%).
After three long days on the saddle, a shorter coffee ride followed by the usual recovery process will help to eliminate toxins, so everyone can tackle the second part of the training camp with fresh legs and a boost of energy. To keep with that theme, the workshop on that day will be dedicated to nutrition and recovery.
After an easy coffee “slash” recovery ride on Wednesday, it's time to attack the second part of this cycling holiday with one of our favorite rides, to the Cap de Formentor lighthouse, one of the icons of European cycling. Enjoy the views over the Mediterranean sea, this is spectaluar!
This is the place you have all heard about… Sa Calobra! To boost your motivation and push you to climb Coll dels Reis - the official name of Sa Calobra - as fast as you can, we will organize an entertaining competition within the team : a Handicap Hill Climb Time Trial on Sa Calobra! Who's going to receive the Sa Calobra KOM Challenge award this week?
It's time to say goodbye see you soon! After collecting equipment, giving back your pedals and saddle, we will drive you to Palma airport to catch your flight. Hope you had a blast on and off the bike, made new friends, and will come back soon to the Sa Calobra Cycling Club!
We’ve all seen those epic photos and videos of pro riders climbing with breathtaking mountain views. That's what you will get - free of charge - at the end of your training camp. Our team will capture all those moments for you with 4K cameras and very cinematic drone shots, edited with great soundtracks that will make all your friends jealous!

To get the most out of this experience, it’s important to meet some necessary riding skills and fitness requirements. Participants should:
- Ride regularly for at least four months prior to the camp — at least 3 to 4 times a week, totaling 7 or more hours.
- Be comfortable with rides of around 90 km on hilly terrain and up to 120 km on a longer day.
- Have good bike-handling skills, especially for descending on long, steep, and sometimes technical descents.
- Be confident riding solo and in a group, in a wide variety of road and weather conditions, including narrow roads, light traffic, and wet surfaces.
- Expect frequent climbs of varying distances and gradients, requiring endurance and climbing ability.
The rides will be challenging, but that’s why you’re coming, isn’t it? With proper preparation, you’ll be ready to tackle longer days in the saddle and enjoy the journey!
Let’s be clear: speed on a bike means absolutely nothing! Whether you’re riding alone or in a group, battling headwinds or cruising with a tailwind, on flat roads or hilly terrain, speed can vary dramatically—even with the same power and effort. This is why we don’t provide average speeds on our website; we want to avoid any confusion. Some rides will be fast, others slower, but all will be challenging, regardless of the route. Compared to other camps, ours requires a relatively high level of fitness—whether due to the pace on flat sections or the difficulty of the climbs.
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!
We have been welcoming riders ranging from 2.6w/kg up to 5.4w/kg. We manage to all ride together, as a team. On the flat sections, strongest riders lead the group. While on hills, each rider will climb at his/her own pace, and we regroup at the top.
There is no age to treat yourself and have fun! Our cycling trips are for everyone. To date, we have welcomed cyclists from 21 to 70 years old. Any concerns? Email us!
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!

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.
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.
