Mallorca Road Cycling Training Camps with Sportive Breaks

Arrive and depart any date between 1 to 16 February 2025 (minimum 4-night stay is required) and join our expert-led cycling training camp in Mallorca in February 2025! Escape the cold, dreary UK winter weather and start off the new cycling season with some warm weather cycling training. You will ride together with our groups that are led by expert ride captains, with the aim to gradually add to your base mileage and build cumulative fatigue by consistently riding daily miles. Where better to do this than the cycling mecca of Mallorca?

Professional cycling teams like Team Visma | Lease a Bike regularly use Mallorca, in particular north of Alcudia, as their base to do some high mileage training weeks. We can’t guarantee the weather, but the likelihood is that based on previous years the weather will be significantly warmer and drier than the UK! What we can guarantee is comradery, the support of a group, good quality, quiet roads, stunning scenery and a respectful attitude towards cyclists.

Every day you can join your choice of 2 guided rides straight from the hotel. You can choose from up to 2 ride groups depending on your fitness and experience level. You will feel confident and put at ease by English-speaking ride captains. Bring your own bike or rent one of our carbon road bikes. Stay with us at a 4-star hotel in Alcudia where the best riding is in Mallorca. Breakfast and evening meals are included. As well as the cycling, you can enjoy the hotel’s pool or take a dip in the sea!

Spread your payments: Our payment plan is an interest-free payment method where you will have the opportunity to spread payment for your booking

Up to 2 levels of riding groups every day: From a leisurely coffee ride group to a zone 2 endurance ride, we have you covered. You can even mix and match as there is no need to stick with the same group every day

Discover the real Mallorca: Far away from the beaches and tourism, rural Mallorca is a delight of slow-paced villages, rolling hills, great food and a couple of great climbs

Arrive and depart any day: We offer up to 10 extra nights with a minimum of 4 nights. You can just carry on and enjoy the group rides in the sun!

Our hotel

We are staying at Hotel Zafiro Tropic, a well-located venue in Alcudia. The hotel is booked on a half-board basis, with breakfasts and evening meals included. You will also have free access to the secure bike store.

Every day you have the opportunity to join one of two groups based on your level of fitness and what your goals are. There is no requirement to stick with the same group each day – you can decide what works best for you each morning!

Leisure group – Light touring pace

  • Elevation: 650m maximum
  • Distance: 65km-85km
  • Average speed: 20kmph – 23kmph
  • Skill required: Low (1-2)
  • Easy paced 20kmph – 23kmph
  • Distance 65 – 85km per day depending on terrain and coffee/lunch stop
  • Minimum fitness requirement – ability to ride 90 minutes without stopping in a group at a relaxed pace

The Leisure Touring Group rides at a relaxed pace, where enjoyment of the wonderful views and excellent coffee stops are deemed more important than a high average speed. We find quiet roads with breath-taking scenery, passing through beautiful Mallorcan villages. Beautiful scenery varies from riding next to the sea to riding in to the mountains. We have plenty of time to really appreciate the Mallorcan countryside, to chat and get to know other riders in the group, as well as grab plenty of photographs!

Endurance Group – Touring pace

  • Elevation: 600m – 1200m max
  • Distance: 75km – 125km
  • Average: 23kmph – 26kmph
  • Skill required: Medium (2-3)
  • Moderate paced (average 23kmph – 26kmph)
  • Distance of 75 – 115km per day depending on terrain and coffee/lunch stop
  • Minimum fitness requirement – ability to ride 90 minutes without stopping in a group at a moderate steady pace.

Tranquil country lanes leading to beautiful rural villages; orange groves to vineyards and hidden valleys to mountain top monasteries. The moderate paced (average 23kmph – 26kmph) touring group ride over distances typically covering 75 – 115km per day depending on terrain and coffee/lunch stop options.

A degree of on-bike fitness is required before you arrive in Mallorca as it can be physically challenging, and you will take on some hill climbs and descents, but the group is primarily about the enjoyment of cycling through the countryside of Mallorca. The group is structured and co-ordinated to ensure efficient cycling with the objective of going to places of interest, all sharing the pace and riding as an organised touring group. Moving in unison to assist each other to get to a place ensures skill development and after your stay, fitness will be developed allowing you to progress on to bigger touring challenges. Days that include rolling roads, hill climbs, orange groves and vineyards, stunning turquoise coves to rocky headlands, Mallorca has it all and it’s waiting for you to see it, smell it and taste it with the touring group.

Our guided rides vary in length from 65km – 85 km for riders who enjoy getting on their bikes, taking it easy and exploring parts of the island that most tourists never discover. The touring cycling group is ideal for those that enjoy adventures and using the bike to visit places of interest, or if you are new to road cycling and want an introduction to spending the best part of the day on two wheels.

Join us, it is always fun! We stop for coffee and cake in the morning, as well as a lunch stop, plus sometimes an afternoon stop on longer rides.

Minimum fitness requirement to join this group is to be able to ride for 90 minutes without stopping at an easy pace.
