What's the minimum level of fitness required to participate?
This camp will be more difficult than the ones we organize in Mallorca. Participation requires a more advanced level, with a minimum FTP of 3w/kg. Reserved for riders who want to do a big training block during winter, this camp will be challenging, with more hours on the saddle, kilometers and climbing on the program. It is recommended to ride your bike regularly, at least 3 days a week (at least 8 hours total), as you’ll risk not getting the most from this experience.
What's the average speed?
Let’s be clear: speed on a bike means absolutely nothing! Whether you’re riding alone or in a group, battling headwinds or cruising with a tailwind, on flat roads or hilly terrain, speed can vary dramatically—even with the same power and effort. This is why we don’t provide average speeds on our website; we want to avoid any confusion. Some rides will be fast, others slower, but all will be challenging, regardless of the route. Compared to other camps, ours requires a relatively high level of fitness—whether due to the pace on flat sections or the difficulty of the climbs.
How many kilometers will we ride per day?
Here, we prefer to talk in hours instead. The rides in Calpe will be slighty longer than for our camps in Mallorca, lasting between 4 and 6 hours. The goal is to get a big training volume at the end of the week, to prepare for the coming season.
Where is the Villa located?
Our cycling camp is based in Calpe, the winter training haven for professional cyclists. Nestled on Spain’s Costa Blanca, Calpe offers the perfect combination of mild weather, smooth roads, and challenging terrain that draws the world’s best riders year after year. Who knows—will we spot Remco Evenepoel or Mathieu van der Poel on the road?

Can I bring my own bike?
Yes, you can. However, we recommend that you ride one of our full carbon bikes. Traveling with a bike is expensive and risky; it can be lost, damaged, or delayed. And don't worry about your riding position; our mechanic will replicate the exact settings you are used to at home (saddle height, angle, setback, etc.), thanks to our Bikesettings.com tool.

Yes. A discount of 80 euros will be applied if you bring your own bike. However, we do not assume responsibility for its safety or any damage. You will also be responsible for any spare parts that may be used during the camp if you decide to bring your own bike.
