Price includes

Price excludes

Skill Level

You will need to be able to corner and use your brakes instictively. Confidence desending at speed and riding in a group close together. You should expect to be challenged on some sections. This time, it's not a holiday, it's a training camp!

Fitness

The fitter you are the more fun you'll have. But that does not mean you need to be a pro/elite rider. There are some large climbs and we are usually out on the bikes for 5-7 hours each day. Whilst there is a support vehicle we try not to use it except when really needed.

Arrival

The airport to fly into and out from is Malaga (AGP).

The transfer to Lanjaron upon arrival is when the last guest arrives. Airport transfers cost between 120€ and 180€ is per trip, not per person.

Departure

The transfer from Lanjaron at the end of the week is in the morning of the Saturday to coincide with the first departing flight. If your flight is an evening one then you are welcome to leave your bags at our base in Lanjaron until you want to leave. An additional airport transfer is 120€ if available and if time permits.

Hassle free, convenient, cheap flights

Flying to Malaga really is very straight forward, but there are some things you might like to know before you fly. And remember, it's part of your holiday so you should enjoy it!

When you land

If you arrive early and you've beaten us to the airport please be assured that we will be there as soon as possible. However, for your own comfort and to make finding you a bit easier (despite your large box or bag!) we recommend that you take a seat and grab a coffee in the bar just outside the arrivals lounge.

Routes

All routes can be downloaded for free via Strava and/or GPX files onto a Garmin or similair navigation device. Just let us know what, when and for how long you want to be out for and we'll take care of the rest... Including recommendations for coffeee stops.

The Roads

There are fantastic roads all over the world. The difference here is that they are also virtually traffic free.

Many pro team and pro tour riders own property in this area for good reasons. It's safe, roads are super smooth and quiet, and the training options are endless. How many times have you done a 40km climb?

Routes

Talk to us and tell us what you're looking to gain from your training camp. We can put together the perfect itinarary based on mileage/time in the saddle to cater to every need. We know the quietest roads, best bars and cafes to stop at as well as the best mountain climbs. don't leave it to chance, even if you just want to do your own thing, let us know. We can help.

Support

If you are unfortunate enough to need collecting whilst out on your ride (out of daylight hours/puncture/chain snapped etc.') we can recover you at approximatly 50% less than a taxi.

Insurance

We strongly recommend that you take out insurance to cover you and your kit. A european health card will cover most things for free if you're from the UK otherwise you'll be charged. We also strongly recommend you keep a copy of your passport photo page on your phone as well.

Cash, Card and where can I get it?

The local currency in Spain is the euro (€). There are plenty of cashpoints/ATMs in Lanjaron and banks wheere you can change currency but cards with chip and pin or contactless is used everywhere. However, we recommend that you check with your bank regarding fees for using your card for cash withdrawals and general transactions.

How much cash will I need?

We usually recommend £200 / 220€ / $225 spending money. Lanjaron is very good value for money with eating out. Drinks and a good meal, with wine or a few beers will cost in the region of 12€

Medical

You must have your own insurance which should include helicopter evacuation and repatriation. A search on the internet will reveal a host of insurers to choose from, but please ensure that it includes extreme sports. We do not go above 3000m. In the past we have used companies like Sports Cover Direct who seem to have a good reputation. Other recommended companies are Ski Card and the Austrian Alpine club although they may not include baggage insurance.

FYI

We are in the process of finding an insurance partner to offer the best coverage for our guests. As soon as we have these details we will update the website.

You'll definately need this!

Bike

We recommend a good quality road bike. Serviced and ready to go!

Tyres

We use bikes with 28mm, tubless tyres for the best traction and to help void punctures. this is of course a personal preferance but we recommend a good quality race tyre rather than a touring tyre!

The transfer to Lanjaron is when the majority of the guests arrive. For example, if 8 guests arrive in the morning then the transfer will be an AM transfer. However, if most of the guests arrive in the evening then the transfer will be a PM transfer when the last guest has arrived.

The training accommodation has three double bedrooms, high speed broadband, Netflix and Amazon Film etc.' It has direct access to the road in a very quiet part of town and is designed for you to relax and recover with facilities for cooking. Bars and restaurants are nearby but CANNOT be heard at night. For larger groups we use a 5 double bedroom Villa with a pool which can be used in the summer months.

Please be careful. And stay on the right! We try and design routes so that you are turning 'right' as much as possible. Whilst traffic is very light compared to the UK, crossing lanes is taken into account when designing routes..

MTB, Road or eBike?

We always recommend bringing your own bike.

If you do need to hire a bike please let us know well in advance and we can arrange bike hire for you.

For the road

When out on the road there are some items you should always take with you as you would if you were going out for the day on your bike at home. Please see the list below

For evenings

A warm jumper or fleece for when you're at the bar in the evening is also recommended.

We have NEVER cancelled a ride although there have been times when we have changed the route. Your safety is our prime concern and your guide will always have the final say. The mountains here go to 3500m and we know them well and as Mountain Biking is a dynamic sport and influenced by many factors such as fitness, ability, weather and other potentially unforseable events there may be a need at some point to amend or change a route or the itinarary.

We don't have a maximum or minimum group size for training camps but it is important to contact us and confirm we have availability BEFORE you book your flights.
