Frequently Asked Questions

What's the minimum level of fitness required to participate?

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!

What's the minimum FTP required to participate?

If you know your FTP, we would say from experience that the minimum level required to complete all six stages of our camps is as follows:
- Mallorca : 2.7w/kg
- Women's edition : 2.6w/kg
- Full Gas edition : 4w/kg
- Calpe : 3.0w/kg
- French Alps : 2.9w/kg

How many kilometers will we ride per day?

Here, we prefer to talk in hours instead. Rides last between 4 and 6 hours, with one coffee/recovery ride in the middle of the week. Do you think it’s too much for you? Don’t forget that with massages, nutrition, coaching and the fact that we take care of everything else, getting back on the bike each morning will be easier than what you have ever imagined!

What's the average level of participants?

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.

How are the rides organized?

Every morning at the briefing each rider will receive personal goals for the ride to come based on their abilities and level of fatigue. We all take the road together, as a team. On the short (rare) flat sections, the strongest riders will lead the group. On hills, each rider will climb at their own pace with a powermeter. The riders who reach the summit first will turn back down to catch the last riders. Nobody stays inactive at the top. It means some extra miles for the fastest riders and some support for the slowest ones in the last part of the ascents.

I am not a pro nor a racer, can I still join?

Of course! Our cycling holidays are for every riders! No matter who you are, how old you are, or how fast you are, you deserve the best. This is what we’ll give you.

I am a strong rider. Will it be challenging enough?

Don’t worry, our Ride Captain will make it tough(er) for you if this is what you want! Mallorca offers a lot of climbs where you will be able to train hard and if you want to push your limits further. The riders who reach the summit first will turn back down to catch the last ones. Nobody stays inactive at the top. It means some extra miles for the fastest riders and some support for the slowest ones in the last part of their ascents.

Do you offer cycling camps for beginners?

No, our cycling camps are designed for riders who already have a certain level of fitness and can comfortably ride for multiple hours. Participants should also have experience riding in a group and basic cycling skills, such as riding downhills safely. We recommend at least one year of regular cycling experience before signing up, as these camps involve long hours in the saddle over an entire week. This ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

What kind of preparation do you recommend?

With 550km in six days, and lots of climbing, our cycling camps are challenging. To enjoy it, we definitely recommend you to ride your bike and train beforehand. It will help you to get most it, and have fun when you will climb some of the most spectacular climbs in the cycling world. If you wish to build fitness and arrive at the camp at your peak level, we have designed a 14-week pre-camp training plan, adapted to all levels and lifestyles, in partnership with Trainerroad.
