The Sa Calobra Cycling Club is a team, your team!

« I signed up for the first time for a week with Sa Calobra Cycling Club. The organization was so clear (before and during the camp). Each day was prepared with high professionalism. I learned a lot how to improve my rides and get more fun than ever. Aside riding, the informations regarding nutrition, power and FTP, fueling were so useful. The mechanics and technical assistance, the daily massage, and the excellent food made this week unforgettable. I will be back, for sure (already signed for next camp). »

« Michael Jordan once said “once you join a team, you live at a certain standard that I play the game, and I wasn’t going to take anything less… I wanted to win, but I wanted them [the Bulls] to win and be a part of that as well”.
While I am not comparing cycling to basketball, Aurélien’s standard, vision and aspiration to provide an exemplary service and experience to his riders is demonstrated every day (before, during and after the actual camp). There are lots to be said about the detail and thought that he has put into SCCC, but the most resounding of all and what is abundantly clear is how Aurélien shows up for his riders and how his heart is in what he does. What Aurélien and his team (Uli, Marc, Stan, and Amy) did for me over the last week is beyond measure. Cannot wait to be back! »

« Attending the cycling training camp was a transformative experience that I’ll never forget. The team was great,very professional, caring. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with a level of professionalism that let us fully focus on the ride and soak up the joy of cycling. Each day started with a hearty breakfast tailored to fuel us for the long hours on the road, followed by recovery shake and each evening ended with a fantastic meal that kept us excited for the next day. Daily massages were another highlight, essential for recovery and keeping us in peak shape as we tackled challenging climbs and put in long miles. One of the best parts of the camp was the camaraderie. We came together from different places and backgrounds, but by the end, it felt like we’d all shared something unforgettable. It was a week that combined the best of cycling, care, and connection—an experience that has me counting down to the next one. See you soon, I highly recommend the camp. »

« I fell in love with road cycling in Mallorca in 2023 in a Triathlon camp and continued to seek out opportunities for cycling on the island via various camps since then. In my past trips I always saw the Sa Calobra Club Club team on some of the majestic routes from afar, with their professional kits and structured methods, so I decided to research more of what the camp had to offer. After my first call with Aurelien from the Palma Airport at the end of my previous camp, I knew he was different. What sets this camp apart from all the other "cycling holiday camps" it is a training camp focused on comradery and making yourself a better cyclist, with the benefits of the island climate and views of Mallorca. I left the camp a vastly improved cyclist than I had entered and Aurelien truly cares about making you better. Uli truly cares about feeding you well. Stan and Amy care about rehabilitating you into pique physical shape with post ride massages, and Marc is always eager to teach you and help any way he can. And yogi the dog is there for morale and really the cherry on top the sunday. I am already planning my next trip back. »

« What a week! Mallorca is a cycling paradise and Aurelien and team make the experience truly wonderful. Everything is taken care of:
- bike fits perfectly
- routes are stunning, and although challenging (you conquer all the biggest climbs at the island) you are prepared and get a lot of support from the Captain and from your team mates
- Marc is always near with a van to change flat tyres or fix other issues (wheel change took him roughly 40s!)
- he takes best pictures, like a pro! (and these are available every day, shortly after your ride)
- daily coaching sessions are very helpful and show just how knowledgeable and passionate Aurelien is, it's all presented in a digestible way (but actually pretty scientific!), you learn about group riding, technique, cycling to power output/FTP, training planning, nutrition, and much more
- Villa has everything you need and a quick dip in the pool after long day in a saddle feels awesome!
- food is cooked from scratch by a wonderful chef Uli, it's all delicious and pretty healthy
- daily massages really help your legs recover for next day (and both Amy and Stan are very skilled!)
- riders quickly form a supportive community, you really feel like part of the Sa Calobra Cycling Club
I will be back - and will bring friends :) »

« A week like the pros. What an incredible experience! Breathtaking landscapes, but also wise coaching from Aurélien, who helps us get out of our comfort zone to progress fast. Marc, the mechanic, is taking great care of the equipment provided; but that's not all, he is also there for the feed zones so we can always get further. After the rides, we enjoyed massages by Amy and Stanislav, who do miracles so we can complete our training. And what about the 100% balanced meals carefully prepared by Uli, the Chef, so tasty. But it's also a week of camaraderie and sharing with teammates. An experience that we cannot forget… A big thank you to the entire SCCC team! »

« I came to SCCC with my girlfriend, who already booked before we met, when someone else canceled and a slot became available. Before the camp I was a little sceptical since I usually plan these kinds of cycling trips (Mallorca, Transalp (Road/MTB)... ) myself and the "like a pro" theme seemed a little over the top to me.
But afterwards I have to admit that my worries (to short stages/few elevation gains, "like a pro") were all unfounded and I had a really good time on and off the bike :)
SCCC is run by folks with enthusiasm for cycling and motivating/approachable personalities. Organization and included services are perfect. Overall it was a great week and I am happy I was part of it :) »

« In the morning, I woke up and thought about getting ready to ride in the rocky mountains among the incredible landscapes with great company. But reality reminded me that today is Monday, I’m already in Amsterdam, and it’s time to go to work.
Last week was unforgettable: full of challenges, steep climbs, and sharp turns, filled with the spirit of friendship and competition, above all, competition with oneself. Every day, a new route challenged us, which we overcame by supporting and encouraging each other. It was a team where everyone was ready to lend support, share knowledge, uplift, and simply boost morale after a hard ride.
The incredible views surrounding us during all our rides sometimes went unnoticed in the struggle for every pedal stroke. However, these moments were captured not only in our memories but also in our albums, thanks to Marc's talent. Marc was not only the chronicler of our cycling adventures but also provided full support for our gear and maintenance, and monitored our energy levels.
The impeccable organization from Aurelien's team — accommodation, meals, planning, information, supplies, and recovery — allowed us to relax and enjoy the cycling trips. Every day, Uli delighted us with exquisite dishes, while Stanislav and Megan restored our strength after each ride, preparing us for new challenges.
It was a week dedicated to my new passion — cycling. Although for the first four days, due to my lack of experience, I rode at high speeds, thinking that cycling was not for me.
Aurelien's story inspired me with his dedication to the cause. Leaving a stable job, selling an apartment, and leaving Paris to start his own business requires incredible discipline and faith in one’s purpose. This is felt in every detail and in Aurelien's attitude towards his business and clients, whom he turns into friends. Isn't that true ikigai? FULL GAS!!! »

« The be all, end all cycling camp based in nothing less than an epic location. This camp is EXTREMELY well organized and exceeded all of my expectations. Not only does the team nail the big things (amazing routes, SAG vehicle, expert photography, top tier cooking, recovery, and coaching) but they set themselves apart by paying attention to the little things (too many to list). This is a camp by cyclists, for cyclists (no leisurely cycle touring here!) and is set up in such a way that minimizes differences in fitness. Show up ready to push yourself and become a team and you won’t be dissapointed. Half of the camp I went to were return cyclists and I’m already signed up for two more! »

We were extremely well cared for, with clean and comfortable lodging, nice bikes, plenty of healthy and hearty food, airport pickups matching our flights, carbs and energy bars, daily laundry, bikes washed and tuned every evening, and protein shakes and hot lunch ready exactly when we finish riding. The spirit that Aurelien instills - camaraderie, competitive energy, and challenge - had us all finishing the week on a high and very satisfied. »

« Aged in my late 60’s, and just a 2-3 times a week recreational rider, I was a bit nervous about attending this camp. But it was absolutely brilliant! Aurelien orchestrated seven days that included FTP goal setting, challenging but achievable rides through fabulous Mallorcan hill country, very comfortable accomodation, and really informative daily group presentations (diet, power, endurance, and more). On top of all of that we had amazing in-villa breakfast, lunch and dinners, and in-villa masseuses for daily sessions. Brilliant. Informative. Technique improvement. Challenge. Can’t recommend it highly enough. »

Our training camp was extremely well-organised and Aurelien has clearly worked very hard and meticulously to fine-tune the details as much as possible. I loved that half the group was made up of women and the entire team dynamic was supportive with a friendly rivalry, where we constantly motivated and encouraged each other. The food was healthy but delicious, the daily laundry was extremely convenient (dont even bother bringing your jerseys and bibs like I did as the Gobik-supplied kit was very comfortable), the daily massages helped with recovery for the next day of riding and the briefings/workshops were very informative. Chapeau to Aurelien and his very impressive team for making this truly unforgettable, and I very much hope to be back! »

« This is not for the fainthearted. A serious training camp that makes you feel like a pro in every respect. Forging your physical power, mental strength, efficiency, giving you professional look and feel: you name it and it is already on offer from Aurelien. It was only when I crossed the border between "I am going to die if I push any harder" and "I did it, I cannot believe it!", I realised how effective Aurelien's approach is. I can carry on talking about the gorgeous food, the massages and the incredible amount of the knowhow that the camp gives you as perks, but so many reviews are about that already, I will merely be repeating them ad nauseum. For me this was first and foremost an opportunity to learn how to believe in myself. At the pinnacle of my achievement at the end of the camp, I was on top of the world both physically and mentally. Coming back for a third dose next year! »

« It is my second time attending the women's edition of Sa Calobra Cycling Club in March 2024. Aurelien introduces you to power and helps you practice different variations with it throughout the week. While his camp is tailored to your abilities, you must come trained as this is for riders who are serious about improving their cycling. The camp itself is highly organised and structured (but this is fun too!), so be prepared to be challenged and to trust in Aurelien's training. You will not get the full experience if you expect a joy ride abroad. My cycling abilities has improved so much in the last 12 months-specifically altitude-and riding with power is immensely addicting that I cannot wait to return. »

« A huge thank you to Aurélien and his team for this high-quality cycling camp experience. I came back for the third time without hesitation. As a cycling enthusiast, and competitor, the purpose of this camp was for me to prepare for my racing season, with a first big block of training. And I am always so surprised by the attention, the coaching, the kindness, the professionalism of the staff, cook, masseurs, photographer. We were spoiled by the team who managed everything, from meals to transport. And what can I say about this great atmosphere between passionate cyclists, whatever the level, the goals, the origins. I met so many nice people. Riding as a group reenergized me. Do not hesitate! It's a true paradise for cyclists, and a true pro experience. I will be back for a 4th camp in 2025. »

Good for the Fondo rider to the amateur racer. A must done in magnificent scenery. Thanks! »

As always, freshly prepared meals, carefully analyzed daily performance review and morning briefing on the riding strategy makes everyday at the camp full of joyness and excitement. The best week of cycling I have had!

Although this was my first cycling camp, I am not sure any other camps could reach the very high bar Aurélien and his team have set. Bravo SCCC!!! »

« The Sa Calobra Cycling Club is extraordinary. Extraordinary in every way.
I had my first experience climbing the French Alps in July 2023, and my expectations were exceeded in every way. How so? I’ll get to that in a minute. I consider myself relatively new to cycling, a little over 6 years now, and it’s taken me that long to get into shape to even consider climbing the French Alps. Aurelien, the founder and team captain, provided us with a Road Book for the Alps and a training guide with Trainer Road that I found indispensable. The meticulous attention to detail, was a very good sign that this was going to be something special.
When I first arrived in Morzine, France, I was nervous about my abilities and told Aurelien, “I think I’m in over my head”. His response was music to my ears _ “Peter, you are going to have the most amazing time of your life riding in the French Apls.” That’s all I needed to hear. Sometimes you just need a little push to keep you going.
Aurelien, has created an amazing cycling club, wherein each camp brings together cycling enthusiasts of different nationalities, ages, and levels of fitness. In doing so, a family of cyclists with a pro-team spirit is born. I had such a terrific time in the French Alps, that I booked a camp for Mallorca immediately in November 2023, and the French Alps again in July of 2024. Mallorca 2024 is in the books too. I rarely watch a movie twice, unless it’s really worth my time, the same is true for most things I do. The Sa Calobra Cycling Club has a special and unique character, that you want to keep coming back for more. It's that good.
Coming back for the delicious meals, hands on team coaching, the perfect location and accommodations in a lovely villa in Pollenca. Coming back for the magnificent routes, beautiful coastline ride and the TT up Sa Calobra. Coming back for the apres cycling massages, the wonderful dinner conversation with my teammates and new friends. Coming back for more of another experience with the Sa Calobra Cycling Club.
Whether you’re in the French Alps or riding the famous climbs in Mallorca, you will always have the pro experience with Aurelien and his staff. Thank you. »

« Firstly, the best indication that Sa Calobra Cycling Club Training Camp is a top experience is that it’s “sold out” until late 2024/25, and it has 100% 5-star reviews! The returning clientele is +50% this alone speaks volumes but you still probably ask why?
Well because Aurelien treats everyone like a member of his family. Nothing is too much and he has enough experience after doing this for 5 years that he knows what his Riders want and he delivers an experience which is quite rare today.
His attention to detail assuring the whole week goes perfectly, his analysis of not just every ride but every climb for everyone individually. Everything runs like clock work. His Staff cares just as much about everyone’s experience and do anything and everything to make sure all you have to do is ride the bike to the best of your ability and they will take care of the rest.
The food is delicious, plenty and nutritious. Every detail of a pro cyclist’s life becomes your life, but you have to work hard too and will find yourself giving more than you ever imagined possible.
If you are intimidated by climbs, this Camp is especially for you because you will learn how to climb using your FTP and you will never be afraid again by your local climb or Alpe d’Huez. The best cycling holiday/experience/adventure, and I’ve been on many others. This one is a must! »

I didn't think some of these climbs would be possible for me but I'll carry the memories of the last kilometers with me as motivation for my next climbs forever. I wasn't always happy given how tired I was during the rides, but I left with a new appreciation and knowledge about how to push my body, as well as new friends from across the world, and a team to come back to in the future. I tried to soak up all of the cycling wisdom around me this week and am excited to get back to my own training to implement learnings. »

« A truly memorable week of challenging cycling, expertly managed by our infectiously inspiring coach and road captain, Aurelien and wonderfully supported by mechanic, photographer and van driver, and deliciously fed by the chef. I came with high expectations having read the outstanding reviews and I haven’t been disappointed on any front; the whole ‘team’, that includes fellow cyclists, the cycling, the coaching, the bikes, the beautiful countryside, the demanding terrain, the Villa, the massages and of course the food. I’m vegetarian and the Chef produced imaginative and nutritious food for me each day, some of the best vegetarian food I have had on my various cycle trips in Europe. The week exceeded all expectations. I’m already looking at booking another week, most likely the Alps Training Camp. »

« This camp is led by a passionnate cyclist who kindly shares his valuable experience with each member of the team.
Every day, we had the chance to ride routes whose difficulty is softened by the breathtaking panoramas that the island has to offer. The valuable advice provided by our road captain allowed us to experience a spectacular improvement, culminating in the incredible challenge of Col dels Reis.
The entire team, whether it be the mechanic, the chef, the masseurs, the road captain, or even the sumptuous accommodation, create an exceptional experience. We can only be thankful for their professionalism and dedication.
This unforgettable week also allowed me to meet passionate cyclists from all over the world, sharing the same passion for this sport. It is an experience that I will forever keep in my heart.

« I’m new to cycling and “trained hard” for the training camp to ensure I met the minimum watts/kilo requirement. The camp challenged me to my limits, both mentally and physically. While I spent most of the time at the back of the group and was one of the last to finish climbs, I did not feel I was holding anyone else back. I received support and encouragement from everyone taking part, and as others have said, the team ethic, camaraderie and organisation were excellent. I learnt so much from the camp that I’ll take home to improve my training and cycling. I’ll certainly be back, hopefully, fitter and stronger due to what I learned. Whatever level you’re at, you’ll learn something about cycling or yourself from this week. My only advice is to at least meet the minimum fitness standards, as you’ll risk not getting the most from this incredible experience. »

« Aurelian, Laura, and all the staff… what an incredible week. You all looked after us so well. I really recommend Sa Calobra Cycling Club. Every detail was looked after perfectly. These guys are the best. I can't think of anything for improvement. 110%. We all learned so much and got a lot stronger on the bike and had so much fun. As we leave I am tired but happy and made so many great friends. Thank you so much. »

« Hands down an absolutely unforgettable, yet tough, experience climbing the French Alps. Sa Calobra Cycling Club is a brilliantly organized and professionally run cycling camp. Every detail has been considered and attended to. Exceeded my expectations in every way, so much so that I’m returning to do the Alps again in 2024 and Mallorca, for the forest time, in November of 2023.
Aurelien, the principal and team manager is hands on with all the details, assisted by his very competent and proficient staff and assistants. Did I mention the chef and the food? Amazing, delicious and very healthy and nutritious. I will add that the daily massages and compression boots really helped with recovery.
A must for any cycling enthusiasts who wants to do some serious climbing. »

« This was my second participation in the Sa Calobra Cycling Club training camp at the end of March 2023. My experience in 2022 had been incredible and I did not think Aurélien and his team could do better. I was wrong! They surpassed themselves once again with an absolutely fabulous and flawless organization. As I wrote last year in my review, I strongly believe they are running one of the best, if not the best, cycling training camps. Small groups, riders focussed, great team atmosphere with home cooked meals, professional massage, professional recovery equipment, professional photos and video, new carbon bikes on Shimano DI2 12s and great accommodation in a beautiful villa: everything is there and included. Each ride is analyzed in the evening and goals are set for the following day. Coaching and instruction in the evening are of high quality and the briefing for next day's ride is very professional. The name on the van is just the cherry on the cake! And for the price, it is a real bargain. Not only would I do it again tomorrow and highly recommend it to fellow cyclists of all levels, but I have registered once again for 2024 (third participation in 3 years!). »

Hurry up with your booking, places are scarce - I booked my seat for 2024 already, see you there! »

We had such a great time! A combination of progress in cycling and funny evenings with lots of good food and some beers. »

« Everything that's written on the website is 100% true: a week with SCCC is a unique experience, you're treated like a pro, it's run by experts and it is a team experience. I had an unforgettable week which exceeded my expectations on all fronts. From the moment of landing in Mallorca to leaving again, I felt taken care of on all possible aspects of my stay. It is amazing to see how much the small team of SCCC gets done each day with great care for detail. Cycling in Mallorca is fantastic: there are beautiful roads in the flats with sometimes more sheep and goats than cars and there are fantastic climbs with sea view in the mountains. Throughout the week, I saw myself do things I had never done before in terms of distance and height meters, culminating in a time trial on a category 1 climb! All of this was possible thanks to Aurélien's expert advice and the support and encouragements from the other members of the team. The camaraderie we quickly developed made it, also from a human point of view, a very special week. I already secured my spot for 2024! »

« I did a training week at Sa Calobra Cycling Club for the 2nd time. Even though I am not a pro, with Aurélien and his team you do feel like a pro. Best cycling experience for the 2nd time.
This time with the same group as last time and 2 new people who immediately joined the group. We have become a real group of friends. Sa Calobra Cycling Club is not just about cycling but about cycling as a team. In addition, the food provided by Uli is excellent, a follow car with Paul who knows everything about bike maintenance and takes super nice pictures. After the ride a sports massage, and a super nice villa where you stay in the middle of the center of Pollença. In the evening a workshop by Aurélien about training, nutrition and tire pressure etc.
If you want to build your fitness at the beginning of the season do not hesitate and book a week at Sa Calobra Cycling Club, you have to be quick otherwise they are full, so popular are they. I will definitely go back again. »

« I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the cycling camp at Sa Calobra Cycling Club in Mallorca and it was truly an unforgettable experience.
From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the level of professionalism and attention to detail that the team provided.The daily coaching sessions were top-notch and tailored to my specific needs as a cyclist. The daily massages were a godsend after long days on the bike, and having access to high-quality bike hire and powermeters made the experience even better.
The service vehicle was always on hand to provide support during rides, which gave me peace of mind knowing that help was never too far away. And let's not forget about the stunning scenery - cycling along the coast with views of the Mediterranean Sea was simply breathtaking.
Overall, I would highly recommend Sa Calobra Cycling Club to anyone looking for a pro team experience in Mallorca. The team truly goes above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of your cycling holiday is taken care of. Thank you for an amazing experience! »

« Having only been back on my bike regularly for a year, I joined the Sa Calobra Cycling Club to become a stronger cyclist and understand how to train smarter and ride faster. I also wanted to ride some of Mallorca's most iconic climbs with new friends in the sunshine. SCCC provided all of the above and so much more. I had a phenomenal week and I can't wait to go back! Aurelien is passionate about his cycling coaching and the quality of the training camp, every detail is carefully considered and the end result is just fantastic. I now feel confident to elevate my training and tackle the cycling season ahead. I'm now deciding which week to book next year (and if I can wait that long!)… »

« Great week of cycling! If you are passionate about cycling, want to learn about the sport, want to challenge yourself and want to avoid mass tourism 4* all inclusive hotels, then this is for you.
Aurelien, Paul and Uli are doing a great job. The days are perfectly organised. The rides are tailored to visit the island while testing your abilities.
Good advice: do not be too cocky by thinking the distances and elevation are doable. Aurelien will push you. In a nutshell: I had never ridden so many days in a row at threshold… and I loved it.
Will defo come back.
Cheers Aurelien and cheers to the SCCC. »

« I can't believe I was lucky enough to take part in a camp with Aurelien and his dedicated team at Sa Calobra CC. Every detail makes you feel special and part of the whole team, both on and off the bike. For us amateur cyclists this is the closest we'll come to feeling like a pro - the pre-ride briefings, not needing to carry anything on the bike (cheers Paul), the post ride shakes and tasty nutritious food (cheers Uli), the evening massages that kept me going for the 6 tough but enjoyable days of cycling (cheers Stan & Michele) and the expertly prepared daily bidons (cheers Marcel). Aurelien is so passionate about the club that it becomes infectious throughout the whole group - he even makes the coffee. The most enjoyable week of cycling I have ever experienced, you want for nothing and just need to concentrate on the most important thing, riding your bike. As an ex Californian governor used to say - I'll be back, soon. »

« There are bike camps and there is Sa Calobra Cycling Club, which takes you to a new level. Aurelien (the host) is a cyclist who can squeeze out from you the power that you had no idea it is existed.
The service provided by the team is at the highest level - everyday massage, tasty meals, support car, photographer… what else do you need to feel comfy and safe?
The camp is 6 days "hard" rides over the best Mallorca roads, and with the most famous climbs. Would I go back and would I recommend this camp? 100% yes, without any hesitation. The best bike camp in Mallorca. »

« What is the catch? After 6 days in the saddle you want to book the next camp straight away, and places are limited!
Aurelien tickles the last watt out of your legs and encourages you to perform at a level you didn't think possible (and he pulls you through on the flat with 400W ha ha ha).
Paul takes great photos of you every day, he drives the team car (with all the rider names and flags sticked on it) and takes care of the maintenance of the bikes after the rides.
Uli cooks the perfect cyclist's meal, which is usually already on the table when you return from the ride.
The daily sports massages ensure that you are fit again the next day.
I booked this camp very spontaneously, because I actually wanted to book everything myself (bike rental, hotel, etc.). But the overall package here is simply much better than what you could do on your own. You also have nice team members with you that you would have to look for on your own.
All in all a really great camp, all staff members are very committed. You really notice that making money is not the priority. This is all about team spirit here! »

« Simply the best cycling week I've ever had. Aurelien and his team take care of every detail to ensure that you can perform at your best throughout the 6 stages of the camp. Out on the road you feel part of a real team and it feels awesome. Nightly presentations on various subjects including riding with power and nutrition are put into practice during the rides and prepare you to be a better cyclist. Paul takes care of everything from airport transfers to bike preparation so you don't have to worry about anything apart from being ready to ride hard. Uli conjures up miracles in the kitchen providing delicious and nutritious meals whilst Stan and Michele take care of tired muscles during the daily massage sessions. Value for money is off the chart and I can't wait to come back for more. To Aurelien, Paul, Uli, Marcel, Stanislav and Michele thank you all for the perfect training camp. »

This training camp with Sa Calobra Cycling Club is hands-down the most professionally run and fun cycling camp I've ever done. Of course riding in Mallorca in the spring time is hard to beat anyway but everything was taken care off by the amazing team led by Aurelien (amazing meals, great rides, ride support, massages after the rides, great pictures and videos to document the week, focus on performance metrics and pushing each camp participant at their own abilities). »

« Challenging is an understatement - this camp is on a league of its own. I was 3 days post covid attending this camp and decided to go through with it because that’s how top notch it is. But by no means did I have an “easy” route! I did not miss out on the highlights and still managed to do all the iconic climbs thanks to Aurelien and Paul’s flexibility about tailoring the stages for me without compromising the challenge. A must do, and if given the opportunity, a must repeat.

« This is not for the fainthearted. A serious training camp that makes you feel like a pro in every respect. Forging your physical power, mental strength, efficiency, giving you professional look and feel: you name it and it is already on offer from Aurelien. It was only when I crossed the border between “I am going to die if I push any harder” and “I did it, I cannot believe it!”, I realised how effective Aurelien's approach is. I can carry on talking about the gorgeous food, the massages and the incredible amount of the knowhow that the camp gives you as perks, but so many reviews are about that already, I will merely be repeating them ad nauseum. For me this was first and foremost an opportunity to learn how to believe in myself. At the pinnacle of my achievement at the end of the camp, I was on top of the world both physically and mentally. Coming back for a second dose next year! »

« A true cycling training camp where you are treated like a Pro in every respect: Diet, Riding, Recovery the lot!
I’ve learnt so much and pushed myself and my cycling harder than ever before in an environment which has been carefully created and finessed by Aurelien and his fantastic team to make you hit your goals. It’s not easy but the achievement you feel on top of every climb is so worth it… a word of warning though, the power and stats are truly addictive and will revolutionise your riding.
An amazing experience and already booked for next year! »

« If you're looking for a week of social rides, this is not the camp for you. But if you're after a taste of the pro cyclist life, then this is most definitely the right place. Learning to ride with power, lots of climbing, team support car, daily massages, nutrition, workshops and data analysis, along with working as a team make this an enjoyable challenging experience. Aurélien and his support crew are phenomenal! The insights you'll gain into yourself and your cycling are worth every Euro. »

« Right, so if you are looking for a leisurely week in Mallorca, this probably isn't your camp :)
However, if you are looking to completely elevate your cycling, eat like an athlete and be immersed in a 'pro' experience, then there isn't anything better. I haven't done anything like this before!
Everything is taken care of. Aurelien and the team just go ABOVE AND BEYOND to cater for everyone. I am a triathlete and well trained, but still was concerned if I was going to complete the challenging 500+ kms with over 7000m elevation. But between the nutrition, daily massages and following Aurelien's expert advice about how to tackle each climb and at what intensity, every day was completed. Every day I felt quite accomplished, got stronger as the days went on, and even won the handicap TT hill climb, using all that I have learned!
Best review I can leave: already booked for next year. Merci :) »

« Unforgettable cycling experiences, and I want to go back. SCCC is not any typical cycling travel program you may see in a web search. This cycling camp (or SCCC) does what it says exactly. It will let you experience how the pro-cyclists do during the tour. It is intense, demanding, and focused. If you are looking for a sightseeing and relaxing cycling tour, I don’t think this program will fit you well.
On the other hand, if you are looking to challenge yourself, put yourself to the next level, and experience what real cycling is… look no further. Aurelien is here for you (SCCC’s team captain). What SCCC could offer was more than I expected. I felt the SCCC reignited my passion and leveled up my cycling expectation of myself.
Here are what the typical day looks like: Usually Starts 8 AM —> Breakfast-> Out Riding -> Back to Camp Base for lunch (mid-afternoon) -> Massage -> Dinner -> Post dinner briefing & Next Day riding -> Bedtime. This routine will be repeated 6 times. I have not felt bored at all.
You will make friends from day one, and I am sure it will form a good friendship as the day goes by because you will all share the work. Enough talking… Sign up and let SCCC open your horizon. You will feel Aurelien’s passion for cycling in no time, and the rest of the supporting staff were so lovely. »

« I joined the Sa Calobra Cycling Club to become a stronger rider this year. I had no idea that I would leave the camp with so much more. More than great rides, spectacular routes, excellent meals, and restorative daily massages. More than the knowledge gained from evening briefings about training, power metrics, and nutrition. I left inspired by my teammates and especially my team manager Aurelien and his staff, who are totally dedicated to sharing their passion and knowledge about high performance cycling. SCCC is a ride camp like no other. »

« In short, Sa Calobra Cycling Club offers the best cycling experience, and for the money… there is no better. Aurelien, Paul and Laura are awesome and after spending a week with them I can honestly call them my friends. It felt more like a local group ride with close friends than a paid “tour”. The personal touch was amazing and at no time I felt like a customer rather just a riding buddy!
That said, I want to provide more details for those who are seriously thinking about booking with this club. Before I begin, I think it’s important to provide some background on my cycling experience to put some context on this review. I consider myself to be an avid cyclist, riding around 5-10hrs a week when time allows. I am also a technical cyclist always diving into the technology side of biking with new gadgets and gear. Finally, at 77kg I am not a climber so the amount of elevation was concerning when I booked. Enough about me…here are more detailed thoughts on Sa Calobra Cycling Club.
If your reading this and on the fence about booking please do not worry. Aurelien has a plan for you on day one. All you need to do is listen, learn and you will felt the miles/km pass by in a blink of an eye. I’m not saying it will be easy rather it will be enjoyable and a challenging way. Each cyclist gets their own plan for the week so you ride within your limits. Unfortunately, I thought I was stronger than I was pushed super hard on Puig Major and I got spanked hard. Maybe I had something to prove, dunno get I was questioning my life choice about 5km to the top. On this point, listen and questions about pacing and Aurelien will take care of you.
As for me, the massage team of Stan and Amy put Humpty Dumpty back together again. After I found my pacing, nutrition and put my ego in check, I had a blast and the days no matter the miles and elevation just flew by. In fact, as I write this I feel like I could do another week right now even with over 350km and 6k meters of climbing in my legs from this week.
I also want to mention how amazing food was throughout the week. Laura did a fantastic job making sure we had the right balance of food and not just junk. I’m a foodie and I hate to admit I don’t eat super healthy. All the foods that Laura served was new to my pallet and I am waiting for her recipes so I can make at home… well, try to?
The only thing that sucks is that the secret must be out as I need to wait until next fall to go again as they are sold out spring of 2023. My friends and I will be rebooking for fall 2023. We can go anywhere but I choose to come back here to ride and hang with my new found friends Aurelien, Paul and Laura. Best wishes! »

Aurelien and his team take care of everything - you just have to turn up, tune in and ride your bike. It is both the most intense and the most relaxing experience - I found so much headspace on and off the bike.
The food’s fabulous, the bikes are perfectly prepared, the rides are breathtaking, the recovery will keep you in peak condition for the week, and the coaching’s excellent; I learnt so much.
Thank you Aurelien, Laura, Paul & Amy - I look forward to seeing you again soon. »

« I had high expectations for this camp, due to the description on their website, and I can truly say that every expectation was fully met, and surpassed. Aurélien and his team are all kind and capable people, making sure you have the best possible time, both on and off the bike.
Coming back form a ride was a true luxury. Grab the recovery shake waiting for you, when you enter the door, while the table is being set for lunch. Have a nice healthy lunch, and then just hang out with you fellow riders and wait for your turn for the daily massage, while you kit is being washed, and your bike cleaned.
Thank you Aurélien, Laura, Paul, Amy and Stan for the memory of a lifetime. »

« What a week! I was looking for a kind of cycling holiday on Internet and I found the Sa Calobra Cycling Club page. I was impressed by the high rate of appreciation and I decided to "give tham a chance". Well, they're not 5 stars level, they are so far more! 💯✨
The staff is absolutely super. Laura cooked for us delicious and healthy dishes every day, Amy and Stan recovered our tired legs after the ride with amazing massages, Aurelian was not only our captain, was our mentor giving us tips and support before, during and after every ride. And Paul, photographer, mechanic, driver and much more… What to say more? It was not only a fantastic week of cycling, it was a superb week of socialisation! At Sa Calobra Cycling Club you can make new friends, sharing with them the passion for cycling, moments that will never forget!!!
So, if you love cycling and want to be in paradise, check the availability and don't miss the chance (if you can find any free spot). It will be absolutely worth it! »

« An incredible experience! Have you ever dreamt of living the life of a Tour de France rider, in a heavenly place, without spending a fortune? This is the place for you. Carbon bike with electronic groupset, power meter, Abus helmet, bars and energy drink, food, briefing and debriefings, workshops on equipment, training, power data, nutrition, etc. Everything you can think of for the perfect training week in paradise is here. The program is perfectly adapted to everyone. Even more fantastic, the energy and the love transmitted by the staff, Aurélien the boss, Laura the “mom” and Paul the guardian angel. I don't have the words to thank you enough for this wonderful time we all spent together. I am already preparing to come back soon. »

« I've never done a training camp before, so I wasn't sure how to choose the best option. Luckily we found the Sa Calobra Cycling Club and were really impressed with the quality of our experience there!
From our airport pickup to the Villa, our equipment preparation, food, recovery, everything is provided for you to have the best experience possible through the week. Aurélien did an excellent job accompanying and guiding us before, during and after our rides. Paul was always smiling in the support car and ready for any situation, provided us with first class equipment and also always managed to take great pictures! Laura was tireless in her mission to keep us very well fed and supplied for the whole week! Megan and Stan were also amazing in helping us recover with great massages!
If you're looking for a complete experience, don't hesitate! Enjoy the beautiful mountains of Mallorca and perform a sensational training! »

« I enjoyed the camp so much last year that I came back a second time this year. Can you improve on Perfection? Well, it seems so.
There are more tools to aid recovery. More content in the daily briefings. The ride experience and team atmosphere are still excellent. All food is prepared on the premises and is nutritional and delicious. The camp works with riders of different backgrounds and abilities and everyone is stretched.
Finally, I was amazed at my improvement between last year and this year, which was helped by following some of the principles that I learnt on the camp.
I am already thinking about coming a third time. »

« An amazing week of cycling. Not only is the beauty of the island second to none, but the organization and passion for riding is phenomenal. Laura did a fantastic job of fueling you with incredibly fresh meals with lots of variety… always delicious! Aurelien was a wealth of knowledge on pacing, fueling and how to make you a better cyclist. The massages, compression boots and compex tens unit really helped aid in the recovery for the next day of riding.

« Aurelien and his Team thought-out everything. From the moment, you get in touch for the first time, over the booking process, pre-camp infos with the Roadbook, being picked up at the airport etc. The whole team is extremely passionate about cycling and they are really looking after everyone with lots of joy. The food was delicious throughout the whole week, including the homemade power bars during the rides.
Aurelien pushed and coached all of us, I did not know that I could do the whole week that strong, really made me exceed my limits. Having Paul with the support car with us on all rides has been amazing, all day could drinks, possibility to take anything you need on the rides and another plus the fantastic pictures he made of us all week.
I've been impressed every day about how well they are organized, with what pleasure they are working day by day and their knowledge about cycling. Just awesome, will definitely be back! »

« I participated in a Sa Calobra Cycling club cycling camp in June 2022. It was an incredible experience for me. The organization is simply perfect and the ambiance excellent. I was able to surpass myself during this week thanks to the advice of Aurélien, Paul and the encouragement of the whole team. The excellent food and the massages after each ride made me feel like a pro. I advise everyone to try the experience and join the team, the Sa Calobra Cycling Club family. #wearesacalobracyclingclub »

« By way of background, I'm a 31 year old relatively keen amateur cyclist, but by no means super fit. I cycle on zwift maybe 3/4 times a week with the occasional long weekend ride. I joined the team in May 2022 and quite simply put this was the best cycling experience I've ever had, so much so myself and some friends have already signed up again for next year!
The Cycling:
The cycling is incredible. For anyone who hasn't cycled in Majorca, the roads are a cyclist's dream, the climbs are spectacular and the views are stunning. Each day is carefully constructed and explained in detail by Aurelien and team during the daily team briefing and also throughout the day. Sa Calobra aside, the cycling is breathtaking.
On the Road:
Aurelien rides with you every day personally guiding you and is supported by another team member in the team car/van which provides water, carbs, food and any technical support as and when required. Aurelien and the team's knowledge of the roads, climbs and descents is second to none. The organization and planning makes everything so so easy. By way of example, one of our group suffered a puncture and within seconds a spare had been taken out of the team car and we were ready to carry on. We had a range of abilities in our group (the majority being enthusiastic amateur cyclists ranging from 30-55 in age), but at no point did anyone feel held back or left behind, such is the knowledge and planning that goes into each day. For example, each rider is given a target FTP or time for the major climbs. You really do put in work.
The Experience:
Everything (and I mean everything) is taken care of for you; the food, which is delicious, varied and carefully considered to provide optimal fueling, the equipment (all equipment), the post-ride recovery (including daily professional massage and compression boots) and the individually tailored training plan. In addition, the little touches like having stickers on your equipment with your name and national flag, along with personalized target FTP / watts and the distance / average gradient of each climb that day really make the experience. You're even encouraged to weigh yourself before and at the end of each day so the team can ensure you've taken on enough fluids. There is nothing else you need to think about but the riding, Aurelien and the team have everything else covered.
Why Join:
There is nothing else even close to the experience that Sa Calobra Cycling Club offer. It truly is a professional cycling team experience. You will make a ton of great cycling memories, not to mention take home all the photos and video taken by the dedicated photographer. Aurelien and team are incredibly welcoming and share a passion for cycling in Majorca. The knowledge the team shares throughout the week is amazing. The whole week is such phenomenal value for money and you will leave thinking about the next week with Sa Calobra Cycling Club.
If you think this review sounds a bit much, book a week and see for yourself. »

I met passionate people, who like to suffer, and have fun at the same time. Different cultures that bring you all the good things in life. Friendships were forged throughout the week. I will come back, and I hope with my friends from this camp to write another page of this wonderful and enriching book. »

« Absolutely fabulous and flawless organization. Aurelien and team are running one of the best cycling, if not the best, training camps. Small groups, riders focussed, great team atmosphere with home cooked meals, professional massage, professional photos and video, new carbon bikes on Shimano DI2 12s and great accommodation in a beautiful villa: everything is there and included. Each rides are analyzed in the evening and goals are set for the following day. Coaching and instruction in the evening are of high quality and the briefing for next day's ride is very professional. The name on the van is just the cherry on the cake! And for the price, it is a real bargain. Would do it again tomorrow and highly recommend it to fellow cyclists of all levels. »

« This has to be the best Cycle Training Camp in the world!!
I took part in the training camp 16>23 April 2022, and from the moment we were met at the Airport we were looked after. Even before the camp started we had the camp road book sent out to us, to give us an idea of what to expect from day 1. The location was simply stunning and perfect for our smaller group numbers.
Aurelien has created the most amazing training camp, with every aspect taken care of, from the quality of the clothing (Gobik), the standard of the equipment (Full Carbon bikes, with the latest di2 12 Spd), & Wahoo bike computers. After every member of the team has completed an FTP Test, he then calculates each riders power zones and tailors every ride to suite the group collectively, setting individual training goals for the ride.
Once you return from the rides, the onsite mechanic Paul takes over, giving each bike a full check to ensure it is ready to go the next day while you then start the rider recovery programme, Protein Shakes, Massage, & rest.
The Chef (we had Laura for our week) created some of the most nutritious and delicious foods I've ever had while on a cycling specific camp. One of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet, she made every meal a team experience with us all sitting around the table breaking bread together.
Without doubt, this is the best value for money cycle camp I have found; The all inclusive nature, the highest of coaching standards and the quality of hardware are all there to get the very best potential realised from each & every rider who attends these camps and I would whole heartedly recommend any rider with a passion for cycling to come on one of these camps. »

« What could I say about this fantastic cycling camp?! Everything is perfect: the welcome at the airport, the villa, the coaching, the food, the bikes, the photos, the staff, with the massages that allow you to surpass yourself. Great professionalism from Aurélien. A team of riders of all nationalities, unknown at the start, who became friends after a week. What a void when you get back home, and what a desire to keep up with what I've learnt. For those who are scared, I would tell them that I got back on the bike in July after 20 years of tennis, and managed to do the entire program thanks to the coaching and support. So don't hesitate, go for it! For sure, I will be back! »

« It was really a great experience. The whole camp was perfectly organized from start to finish. Transfer from the airport and back, accommodation in a beautiful town house in Pollenca, food, fabulous rental bikes and team clothing, massages, workshops and coaching, laundry service, and of course super cool group rides for everyone. Another highlight are the many photos you get while cycling, super professional and memories for life. Both the Sa Calobra Cycling Club staff and my teammates for the week were awesome. We grew together as a team this week and I surpassed myself in my performances. It's amazing what's possible when someone tells you how to do it properly and what potential lies dormant in you. Aurélien, the captain, is an absolute professional. What impressed me the most was how passionate he is about cycling and how he shares with others. If time and money were not an issue, I would book the next available camp again straight away. But unfortunately I'll have to wait a bit longer until I can say again: “Sa Calobra Cycling Club Fantastic!” »

With proper ride nutrition (provided) and massage afterwards you’ll be amazed what you are capable of day after day. Great roads to cycle on too. Feel like a pro for a week! »

You won't regret it. »

« I joined the Sa Calobra Cycling Club camp in April 2022. I was looking for a holiday that would be appropriate for me as a 30-something female travelling alone, and wanting to taking my road biking to the next level. I was nervous coming from an environment with not much elevation and also coming from Winter training (vs. strong summer legs!). The camp was more than I was expecting with the coaching involved in learning how to utilize your FTP better on climbs, the great food and lovely accomadation. The Sa Calobra CC team thought of everything, including the little details that go above and beyond what you're probably expecting on a cycling camp. Also, although we were 9 indivuals from different backgrounds and various countries, we came together quite quickly as a team! I can't wait to come back next year. »

« Brilliant week, from breakfast to dinner (all meals cooked in house and fabulous) through to bike maintenance and bottles being made up. Rides were beyond awesome and just the right side of hard to make every day fun and challenging. When you get back to the villa a protein shake and a meal awaits with a massage following. Coaching and cycling advice along with a briefing of the following day closes off your day and then you rinse and repeat. All you need to think about is. Riding. The. Bike! You can bring your own bike or they will supply one. Routes chosen are great and show off the best parts of the island and all the best climbs! The team are phenomenal and I can’t wait to come back. »

« I had the privilege of sharing a week of cycling like the pros from March 19 to 26, 2022. Reception at the airport, riders' first names and countries printed on the team car, dietary meals, bikes, helmets, cardio belt, GPS, FTP test, briefing on the use of a power meter, on the use of energy drinks, how to ride in a peloton, marginal gains, kits provided, chef at home, mechanic, masseur and masseuse every evening (!), photographer, cleaning of kits, feed zones, shuttle to course departures, etc.
Of course, to this non-exhaustive list we must add the professionalism of Aurélien who designed a tailor-made program of the most beautiful courses on the island of Mallorca: Puig Major, Valldemossa, Sa Calobra, Coll dels Reis, etc.
Sincerely, I recommend this one-week camp. I think your pleasure will be increased tenfold at the end of the week. Congratulations to the entire Sa Calobra Cycling Club team, and thank you very much for this moment of sharing… like the pros. »

« I joined Sa Calobra Cycling Club's camp between 19 - 26 February 2022, and I cannot rate Aurelien and his team highly enough. It was not only an excellent cycling experience, but an extremely enjoyable human experience.
The website tells you everything on offer - stunning daily rides guided by Aurelien, first class and well-maintained road bikes - cleaned daily (thanks Paul), healthy, delicious and plentiful food (thanks Travain and Laura), power meters and coaching, constant on-bike nutrition, constant support van, professional-standard photography and videography (thanks Paul and Genia) and daily massages (thanks Amy and Stan).
What the website can't tell you is how dedicated, passionate and friendly the whole team is, working very long days to ensure everything is perfect for the guests. Above all, Aurelien - a phenomenal cyclist - is totally committed to ensuring that everyone has a great week, regardless of cycling ability, nationality or language, and he does it with easy French charm and humour. You will form a close bond with the Sa Calobra CC team and your fellow riders, and I promise you will have a great week.

« I found Sa Calobra CC while between two jobs and in the middle of the Swedish winter. Looking simply for a warmer climate and a few other people to ride with, I quickly found my way to Sa Calobra CC. I was immediately impressed with the team's immediate replies to my inquiries throughout the booking process. I booked a slot from Feb 5-12th 2022 and found a flight.
I had no idea that I was on my way for the easily the most unforgettable week of cycling in my life.
From airport transfers to bike hire (and maintenance during the entire week!), a fantastic base/villa, professional kit, power meters/HR-monitors, daily massage and free use of recovery equipment, professional-level photography, home-cooked (excellent, healthy and generous!) meals and nutrition - even coaching - literally everything you could need or want during the week is thought of and included. The week went miles beyond riding a bike in the sun. We were delivered a fully immersive week of fitness and cycling on every level. Perhaps even best of all - after our week of riding/eating/laughing/living with three other riders and the incredible Sa Calobra CC staff, I truly have new friends for life.
I will be back. There is no question.
If you have the slightest interest - book and experience. Sa Calobra CC will take care of you and deliver a unique and unforgettable experience. »

« If you love riding your bike, treat yourself to a week with Sa Calobra Cycling Club. It’s hard to do justice to quite how good they are at running what have to be the best cycling camps available to non-pro riders anywhere in the world, but I’ll try!
Agonisingly beautiful rides with climbs that somehow become more and more stunning as the week goes on, awesome food (in quantities that would be irrational and obscene to non-cyclists), an exquisite villa full of the best company, daily pre-ride briefing and post-ride debriefing, professional-grade photographs taken of you throughout every ride, a really clever handicapped time trial to allow everyone to have a race together (it’s just a bit of fun…), and that rare atmosphere of total comfort that will make you thoroughly depressed when it’s time to head home again.
Jump on YouTube and check out the videos on their channel to get an idea of how much time and effort the team put into making sure you have the best week of cycling available anywhere. It’s total commitment from all of them, on and off the bike, and it’s actually humbling to see how much they care (and how exceptional the camps are as a result). »

« I had the most excellent experience riding with Sa Calobra Cycling Club and learned so much from the team. Great laughs, great cooking, great riding, and left with some great mates. If you have wanted to be treated like a pro this is the cycling camp you need to be with.
Aurelien couldn't have done any more for us and the photos and videos are amazing. Bit warm? Chuck your gilet in the team van behind, bit cold wave the team van through and get your gilet. Totally professional setup. I did especially like the envie from other groups of holiday cyclists who didn't have the organisation as we did. Team kits anything we wanted. Professional cooks, daily massages, only thing was missing were my 53 year old legs but they did me proud.
Thanks everyone at Sa Calobra Cycling Club including Lukas, the team's mascot! »

« I came to this cycling trip on a whim, and it ended up being the most enjoyable vacation I've ever had. If you like to ride your bike, you'll enjoy a week full of incredible cycling, company, and views.
The week is crafted to ensure you are properly fueled to push yourself on every climb. When looking at the week's ride schedule, do not be intimidated. The recovery you get off the bike will ensure you not only survive but thrive throughout the week. It was the hardest I've ever pushed myself on the bike, yet it was the most relaxing vacation I ever had.
If the incredible experience is not enough to convince you, Sa Calobra Cycling Club also includes professional photography to make you look as professional as you feel. You come home with hundreds of photos and a video to reminisce and make all your friends jealous! I can't find a single photo I am not smiling in.
I highly recommend booking a Sa Calobra Cycling Club camp and riding with Aurelien and his staff. You will not regret it.

The support team look after your every need, all you need to do is clip in, pedal and meet your goals. Everything has been considered and every aspect of it is first class. Food, photography, videos, massages, bikes, briefings, kit and the most wonderful support team you could ever wish for.

« Today, Aurelien dropped me off at the airport after a final extra ride, just him and me. I walked into Palma airport with tears. Tears of happiness but also of sadness. The happiness of having experienced an immeasurable experience, and the sadness of having to leave. While writing these few lines, the emotion overwhelms me again. This week will forever be engraved in my mind!
Beyond the pain I felt everyday, I have exceeded my mental and physical limits, and everything was in place for everyone to get there. I lived a dream!
Thank you ! Thank you to the whole team! I'll finish these few lines advising all cycling lovers to trust Aurélien and his team…

« What an absolutely brilliant week with Aurelien and the rest of the Sa Calobra Cycling Club team.
I chose SCCC because the rides looked great. I liked that everything was provided so I could just turn up and ride, and also it looked like everything was top quality. All of this turned out to be true, but the trip and SCCC was so much more than I thought it would be.
The rides were brilliant. Despite the inclement weather we took in all the iconic climbs and routes, culminating in the stunning final Queen stage. The support van is good, not only providing a ready source of refuelling and spares but with Paul as resident cameraman we got loads of great photos to remember the trip by.
My one reservation before the trip was whether I would be able to cope with six big days and quite a bit of climbing. Although a keen cyclist, I hadn’t tackled this level of intensity before. I needn’t have worried. Aurelien coaches everyone individually, challenging you to outperform what you think you can do. It doesn’t matter if you are a climbing novice or a hardened mountain goat, his calm, tailored and effective coaching improves you.
As well as coaching on climbing and how to use power to train effectively and race optimally, there are detailed sessions on nutrition, equipment etc. Aurelien’s passion and depth of experience means that everyone learned a huge amount and came away looking at how they train and ride in a different way.
The food, freshly prepared by the lovely Laura and Juliet, was delicious and varied and importantly (for me!) there was always a huge amount, so we never went hungry. “On the bike” nutrition is all home prepared, whether this is the bottles or the energy/protein bars - all very tasty, effective and good to know there’s no rubbish in them and also I now know how to prepare my own at home.
With all the kit provided and washed every day, you really don’t have to lift a finger. The daily massage is a welcome (and probably essential!) touch. It meant we started each morning fresh and without the usual aches that come from a big day before.
Oh and I mustn’t forget Lukas - the greatest cycling team mascot.
Overall the Sa Calobra Cycling Club exceeded all my expectations. I knew it would be well organised and would be high quality kit and food but I didn’t appreciate how much I would learn through Aurelien’s coaching, how good the workshops would be and how much I could love climbing… Chapeau Aurelien and the whole team. I will be back. »

Majorca speaks for itself as a cycling destination, and Sa Calobra Cycling Club’s villa, food, kit, organisation and pro team experience took everything up a level.

« The Sa Calobra Cycling Club is an amazing experience - for both cycling and all that comes around it! The rides, team, support car, photos and videos, morning and evening debriefs, daily massages as well as the (100% homemade) food are all amazing with a real family like feeling. I was also a bit worried initially as my average mileage is already close to 500 km a week - but don't worry! Aurelien will know how to put you through your paces and you won't be asking for more! I can only recommend whatever your level is and I'll definitely be back! »

« Aurelien and his team of Laura, Paul, Stan and Amy provide the most amazing cycling experience and support. From world class coaching on and off the bike from Aurelien, amazing food by Laura and brilliant mechanic and on road support from Paul followed by a daily massage, no cycling camp I have completed offers anything like this. Chapeau to the team. I’ll be back! »

« The camp was amazing.
Aurelien the owner organiser is very knowledgeable and passionate about his business and more importantly about his customers. The educational aspects of the camp (power training, nutrition etc..) was very useful and totally changed some of the ways that I viewed my own approach to cycling. In my opinion the value is spot on, when you start making your own calculations and breaking down everything you will realise that it is very good value for money, also there are many other softer aspects that are hard to value. Basically, every detail is taken care of, you are met at the airport, taken to the camp, given a high-end bike, conduct an FTP test and have briefings before and a de-briefing after every day, on top of that there are specific workshops, tips and tricks that are invaluable.
A daily high-intensity 20min leg massage is something that you wouldn't pay for every day in any other circumstances due to the high cost but having it included was a real bonus.
The food was amazing and spot on with a post ride shake, lunch and dinner, all the ingredients highly tailored to the needs of a calorie intensive cycling week. The riding is challenging by its very nature, with a lot of classic climbs where you are going to be pushing yourself to the limit.
This is a great way to learn more about yourself on and off the bike and make new cycling buddies. I would highly recommend this camp. Thanks so much to all the staff! »

« Living a week like a cycling professional! - Sounds great, but is that possible for an ambitious hobby cyclist? - YES, it is! Aurelien provides proof with his Sa Calobra Cycling Club. He is the mastermind, roadcapitain and definitely the heart and soul of SCCC. You feel from the first moment that he and his team Laura, Tanja, Amy and all the staff are 100 % on fire for the idea and concept of SCCC. With the registration form, you are basically signing a "professional contract" for (unfortunately only) one week at TEAM Sa Calobra Cycling Club. For me, as a former footballer, it was an emotional experience that cycling is definitely a team sport too. Eight cyclists from 5 different nation with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences will grow together into a real team in no time. The team spirit I got to experience this week was outstanding and deeply impressed me.
The organization of the entire camp (incl. Transport to and from the airport) is simply great! The top bikes are perfectly set and the mechanic delivers super support every day in the escort vehicle.
The food, especially the handmade power bars and protein shakes after each ride is sensational! A special thanks to Laura, the Mastermind of the kitchen! Amy's and Aurelien's massages work wonders, and bring even the tiredest legs back to pedal.
The many information and tips from Aurelien were absolutely valuable to me (Dr. Watts) for optimal training with the power meter, including the FTP test on the first day. You will learn where your borders are and learn to shift them and develop with it. And the whole thing in the breathtakingly beautiful landscape of Mallorca.
For every passionate cyclist who is willing to leave his comfort zone a true horizon extension and an absolute recommendation! »

« I attended the Sa Calobra Cycling Club training camp from 18-25 Sept and had an absolutely wonderful experience. I've been on a few cycling camps in recent years and this was by far the best to date.
Each daily ride was different, with a varying mix of climbs and flats, and all offering spectacular views of the Mallorcan landscape and coastline. I was somewhat nervous going into the week, doubting my own ability compared to others and the overall difficulty of the rides, and although the rides were indeed challenging and I was one of the weaker riders in the group, I was able to successfully complete the week and achieve the goals I'd set myself.
Everyone was so supportive and encouraging and this added so much to the overall experience. We settled into a daily routine of breakfast, pre-ride briefing, the ride itself, followed by lunch and massage in the afternoon, and then a coaching workshop and dinner in the evening. The workshops were insightful and I learnt so much about many aspects of cycling, particularly on nutrition and how to understand and use power data. There were 8 of us in the group, and despite not knowing each other at the beginning of the week and coming from many different countries and backgrounds, we all seemed to click early on, forming strong bonds and friendships.
Meals were always a communal affair, which really enhanced the group dynamic - it was great to chat and laugh about the previous day, sharing stories and jokes with each other over a cold beer. The food was of very good quality, always healthy, tasty and well presented. A personal favourite was the protein shake we received as soon as we returned to base camp each day! All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable week and I would highly recommend.
Thank you Aurelien and team and hope to see you soon! »

« I have just returned from a week in Mallorca with Sa Calobra Cycle Club and I have to say it was an amazing week of fabulous cycling, camaraderie, food and fun - I enjoyed every minute. I have learned so much about how to use a power meter, the bike computer and the importance of good nutrition pre, post and during rides. The team worked tirelessly to provide a full pro-cycle experience with 100% attention to detail - everything was covered from daily massages, post ride protein shakes (best I have ever had!), support vehicle, daily kit wash - even sun screen and chami cream! It’s been excellent! Highly recommended. Thanks SCCC! »

« One of the biggest value of the camp is the education sessions. I have learnt so much about how to manage my effort when climbing and a whole lot I had no idea about when it came to nutrition on the bike. Originally I was going to skip the FTP test at the start of the camp, but I’m really glad I didn’t. Firstly I surprised myself with my score, but more importantly Aurelien was able based on my performance in this test, give me personalized custom power zones and has undoubtedly made me a better climber. »

« The Sa Calobra Cycling Club camp (5/12 September) was an amazing experience! These guys have literally thought of everything, amazing food cooked by Laura, to massages, brilliant routes, hydration, bike maintenance. You literally turn up with your shoes & ride. Please don’t get hung up on ftp test, it is literally to give Aurelien numbers to get you to achieve your goals & PBs, which certainly helped me regulate my power on climbs. But for me, most of all is the friendship I’ve made with my team mates & the staff. I will definitely return in the near future! »

It has all you need to make you feeling like a PRO: nice bikes, power meters, cycling computers, superb and challenging routes, massages every day, homemade nutrition and food, interesting talkings about cycling basics and the most important, great staff, always pending of you felling comfortable. It is definitely worthy for the money you pay. »

Aurélien and Laura's attention to all the little details meant I could really focus on riding. Daily massage, FTP test, support car, the whole lot. This is the closest most of us will ever get to a serious pro-level training camp. Will definitely be back next year! »

We booked with them and it was even better than what we had imagine! The concept is appealing but the results are just amazing! Being part of this team and treated like pros was phenomenal. Can't wait to come back! »

« As the slogan says, train and rest like a pro. Top equipment, FTP test on trainer, full carbon road bike with powermeter. We all have the same cycling kit, the same bikes, and immediately feel part of a team. And every time we go out with the team car behind, we feel like we're on a real pro team, and that's great. Not to mention the massage and the Compex every day. Like a pro! »

« I participate in this cycling camp last April. It was really great! Mallorca is a paradise for cyclists: great climbs, perfect roads, sun… We were treated as VIP with Sa Calobra Cycling Club. Healthy delicious food, bike cleaned every day, powermeter, followed by a team car (with drinks, homemade bars and spare wheels), a Ride Captain with crazy legs, and a good atmosphere. See you soon! »
