1st - 5th october 2025

This is a training camp merged with a cycling holiday. The structured days will be tailored to your training zones, including efforts on certain sections of road before regrouping for the ride back to the accommodation.

You should be able to comfortably complete a 3-4 hour ride, covering 80-110km. We will be taking on 2 longer group rides.

The group and workout rides (up to the point where we do solo efforts) will be no-drop and we ride them all together.

Subject to the final details being confirmed the plan is:

• Wednesday 1st Oct: Arrive into Valencia airport and transfer to accommodation. Introductions, goodie bag handout, route information and Q and A. Build bikes and have a light afternoon ride, followed by dinner.

• Thursday 2nd Oct: Breakfast and 3-4 hour group ride, with lunch stop. Ride debrief. Back for evening down time (pool or walk) followed by dinner.

• Friday 3rd Oct: Breakfast, bike check over, programming workouts to bike computers and a pre-workout ride briefing. Ride out (as a group) to a selected climb or safe section of road for a structured workout, regroup and ride back together. Ride debrief. Downtime and dinner.

• Saturday 4th Oct: Group breakfast and chilled morning. Group ride for 2-3 hours in the afternoon. Ride debrief. Smart/casual dress for evening meal out in a local restaurant.

• Sunday 5th Oct: Optional early morning easy ride. Brunch and bike packing. Enjoy your last afternoon however you wish before transferring to the airport. Fly home reflecting on your amazing holiday!

Yes, 100%, we recommend you bring your own bike. Transfers include room for bikes and bike boxes, so there is no extra hassle when it comes to bringing your bike.

However, bike hire is also available at extra cost.

I am lucky enough to work with some amazing people and brands. Thanks to STYRKR, we are able to have some amazing sports nutrition on hand, and in the weeks leading up to this, I will be doing trip nutrition consultations for those wanting to get some advice and tips before the trip.

I will also be on hand to discuss your training zones and to invite you to the studio for a fitness test so we can check your zones are accurate.

Jon at CORE Bike Fit, the studio I base myself in, has kindly offered a discount on a bike fit for those heading on the trip. This will be available once the deposit and first monthly instalment is paid. He is also offering discount on bike servicing, to make sure your bike is riding smoothly before we head out. Support packing bike boxes is also available.

My inbox will always be open leading up to the event to answer any further questions.
