”Ride under the sun with a moderate wind today. A climb on the menu to be completed at maximum aerobic power to earn our coffee and a slice of cake at Cycling Planet. A calm return to base—except for the last 7 kilometers, full gas in Aurélien’s wheel. Tomorrow, a time trial with a handicap. Congrats to the team and rest well to be at 110% tomorrow on the mini climb… ha ha ha!”

The group unanimously agrees that this climb burns the legs, requiring power at every moment. Finally, for coffee and the check, we’ve got 37 kilometers of descent, punctuated by rolling false flats that sap the legs. Beyond this excellent feast served up today, we’ll remember the stunning landscapes, whether in the valley, on the climbs, or during the final descent. Now, let’s digest our 120 kilometers.”

”Today, a 95km ride with 2 climbs, Randa and Sant Salvador. The group started at a good pace despite a strong headwind. The steady pace up to the base of the first climb was tough on everyone’s legs, but each rider managed to climb at their own pace. For the second ascent, the unpredictable weather prevented us from enjoying the beautiful views, and we climbed in the mist. At the summit, Marc regrouped the team, except for 3 brave riders who made their way back by bike. A difficult and technical ride with the wind, but a great training session. Pure fun.”

🗣💬 A review from Isabelle
“Stop hesitating, just book it! It was my first cycling training camp and I can say it was my best “vacation” ever! I fully disconnected being immersed in this experience where the only thing that matters is you , your performance and your teammates ! Every thing else is taken care of : food, cleaning,laundry, massage, bike maintenance etc! And this all happens in the most beautiful settings! [...] You have to experience that at least once… And then you will want to book another one right away!”
“Today marks our first long ride of the week, and pacing will be key. With two significant climbs on the route, stick to the wheel on the flats and focus on maintaining steady power on the climbs. Let your powermeter guide you to a strong and consistent effort.”

Looking forward to the week ahead and getting to know my new team mates better. Plenty of challenges ahead and PBs to smash for us all…”

The reaction of Dominic after today's ride
”A fantastic start to the week with great team morale, although a few nerves during the intense first briefing. Everyone was very keen to get on the road and test their legs after the winter recess. A nice first climb where everyone laid down their “marker” and started to stretch the legs in anticipation for the second climb and the “dreaded” FTP test. Given the option of either going for the standard 20mins or the whole climb I believe most decided to select the timed option. Personally it was great to have a Pro team riding up at the same time which helped keep the motivation high. All in all it is great to see a strong group of riders and more or less able to stay together in a group. A tasty hard finish on the flat back to the camp showed that a few riders are exceptionally strong and of course they are the ones with age rather than “experience“ on their side.”

“Authentic passion for riding”
Aurelien has this authentic passion for riding a bike that shines through in every moment of each SCCC camp. He really cares about making sure everyone is enjoying themselves and getting stronger, so along with his team he makes sure that we are fuelling properly, that the rides are challenging enough without anyone overreaching too much too early, and that off the bike the food is good, the beds are comfy, the massages are specially designed for cyclists pushing really hard, and that we have some great pictures to look at after each ride and good company to keep us motivated. On top of this, he takes the time to explain why SCCC does everything the way that they do it so we have confidence in his approach and the knowledge to improve our own training when we get home.
“It’s natural to feel eager to impress your new teammates and go full gas on the first day, but resist the urge! Traveling can be exhausting, and we have a long week ahead. To get the most out of the camp and truly enjoy your time here, ease yourself into it. Save those legs for the 20-minute FTP Test coming up on Sa Batalla climb.”

“A game changer”
Have you ever ride with power? Join one of our cycling camps to give it a try. All our bikes are equipped with a powermeter, and our Ride Captain Aurelien will teach you how to use it during the week! 👇
“Riding with a powermeter is just a game changer. You don't have to be a pro to benefit from having one. I even think that less experienced riders benefit more from riding with power. You can pace better, and avoid putting yourself in the red zone if you rely on numbers more than on your perception of the effort.”

We all looked out for each other and we were all challenged in different ways.

“Nothing to worry about”
I was a bit apprehensive before the camp, especially being female and going on my own – would the others be stronger than me, would I hold them up, could I keep up etc. As it was, I had nothing to worry about – yes, the guys were strong but the support and camaraderie kept everyone going and it didn’t matter that some were stronger than others. We all looked out for each other and we were all challenged in different ways.
First riders have arrived at Palma airport 😊🙌🏻 Welcome to Mallorca! 🇪🇸

🗣💬 A word from Stefan
“I was looking for a camp that can give me a boost but at the same time feels like a safe if things go belly up. And that is what Sa Calobra Cycling Club provides. It is more than a camp, it's a community, and if we want, you can find friends there. I wish you all an amazing week!”
