Throwback Thursday
It was just a year ago that Alan won the handicap time trial at Sa Calobra. Who will win on Saturday?
“A week of cycling with Aurélien and his team? A true two-wheeled adventure! When it comes to sports and organization, it was top-notch. Every day, Aurélien amazed us… Some even say he has a secret twin, he’s everywhere at once! Maybe a clone, who knows? Value for money? Honestly, you start wondering how they even pull it off! It’s almost suspicious how good it is! I’m not going to spill all the details—where’s the fun in ruining the surprises? But just to give you an idea, it’s like Club Med 5 Tridents, cycling edition! 🚴♂️🌟 So, what are you waiting for to join the adventure? Come on, hop on your bike and get ready for the best week of your life!”
On the road to the Cap de Formentor lighthouse, this 3km climb can be extended by taking a right at the car park, a small road which climbs even higher. The road is not that great, but the view at the top over the bay of Pollença is definitely worth it.

💡 Coaching tip
“After yesterday’s lighter ride, you should feel refreshed and ready to tackle the second half of the week. We’re back in action today with four challenging climbs, culminating in a spectacular finish at Puig Maria. Let’s make it count!”

Briefing
🔜 Located at the northern end of the island, the Cap de Formentor and its famous lighthouse have established themselves over the years as must-sees. Despite the rather modest distance, don't expect an easy ride. The two climbs and a route that's never flat should seriously challenge you.

”Another amazing day on the bikes today! I love how we are 'encouraged' by Aurelien to ride pushing ourselves towards reaching our potential. The ride took us through the undulating roads of Mallorca, from north to south, with a few cheeky little inclines, until we were at our first climb of the day, Randa. And what a ride it was! Beautiful surface, at a nice consistent gradient. Using the target I had been given by Aurelien based on the data from day 1, meant I was able to pace myself and had such a positive psychological impact for me. After the climb, we picked up the pace to ensure we met our time cut to reach the next climb, San Salvador. I loved how we worked as a team to ensure we stayed together, with the stronger riders taking turns at the front and making sure everyone held each other's wheels, helping to regroup if a gap appeared. San Salvador was a little more taxing, especially with the mist! It's so inspiring to be here riding with a whole group of female cyclists, such a rare and great experience. Chapeau to you all today!”

“This was my third camp with Sa Calobra Cycling Club, and it continues to exceed my expectations. Under Aurelien's expert guidance, I've consistently improved my FTP by 20 watts each time, a testament to his effective coaching on fueling strategies, training plans, and daily evaluations of camp rides.[...] I've already booked my fourth camp and can't wait to join them again!”
“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.”

“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.”

Don't overly worry about the FTP test or your position in the peloton. The climbs are a personal challenge rather than a race against your new SCCC team mates, and the atmosphere is always very supportive and fun.

“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.

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.”

Train, Eat, Rest, Repeat!
Every day is different but there is kind of a daily routine at the camp: we train, we eat, we rest but we also chat, jump in the pool, have coffees and cakes. Read more 👇 bit.ly/a-day-in-mallorca

Welcome message from the Ride Captain
“You all come from different countries, have different levels and maybe even different expectations about this camp. Most of you don't know each other, but you all share the same passion for cycling. We have put all our heart and energy into creating this team, for you, and for all the riders who will follow you. Now it's up to you to bring it to life! You are the Sa Calobra Cycling Club!”

“A personal challenge rather than a race”
Don't overly worry about the FTP test or your position in the peloton. The climbs are a personal challenge rather than a race against your new SCCC team mates, and the atmosphere is always very supportive and fun.
Located in the old town of Pollenca, this beautiful villa with a pool will be our home for this week. Amazing, isn't it?

“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.

🗣💬 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!”
