CYCLING Training camps

our cycling training camps

Is it a training camp or is it a cycling holiday? Given the topography of the landscape, it’s too hard to be a cycling holiday, but our attitude to cycling is a little relaxed to be a super serious training camp. I think we’re somewhere in between a cycling training camp and a cycling holiday. We ride because we enjoy riding our bikes. Come and join us and we’ll show you why we ride, where we ride.

The Perfect Location

We’re based between the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Costa Tropical, which is blessed with 320 sunny days a year making it a perfect location for your Cycling Holiday or Cycling Training Camp. The Costa Tropical takes its name from the sub-tropical climate which enables the cultivation of exotic crops such as mangoes, bananas and citrus. With warm winters and long hot summers, the average year round temperature is 20c.

The Costa Tropical is the perfect place to start of your winter training regime and get those important early season base miles in. We´re situated in the famous Alpujarras region on the warmer southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, with easy access to the warm coastal routes of the Costa Tropical. The area boasts lots of traffic free, quiet, country roads, making it a perfect for a Cycling Holiday or Cycling Training Camp.
