7 Day holiday single occupancy
Every ride is accompanied by a qualified coach who offers individual guidance on your technique, efficiency, effort and skills. We ensure that you are able to ride in a group and gain maximum benefit from structured intervals – for example: sprint efforts, through-and-off, cornering, descending & climbing techniques. Each route is planned to make sure you are able to progress over the week and moving between groups is encouraged.
​
3 Day corporate and bespoke holidays
Our special 3 day bespoke weekend trips are very popular. This is a perfect quick break for your Company or group of friends. We have a set minimum of 6 people to fly out early on Friday morning and fly back home to the UK on Monday morning. We will pick you and your party up from Alicante airport based on the time of arrival of your last guest. Once we arrive at the hotel you can check in and relax. We will then have lunch and start with a short 'taster' ride in the afternoon to check your bike measurements. Saturday and Sunday we will take you into the mountains for some of the best riding around with spectacular scenery and exhilarating descents. Don't worry though after all the hard work we can finish off with a great lunch at discounted rate at D-Origen Coffee roasters and will end on Sunday night with a celebration meal at Pasta and pasta inclusive of your price (not including drinks). We will then take you back to Alicante on Monday morning for your flight home. We also offer bike and helmet hire inclusive of the price to save on luggage for a short trip. If you'd like to bring your own bike, add a day or two then give us a call to discuss your dates and pricing for your group.

3 Day Sportive & Grand Fondo weekends
We have also created specific weekend breaks for 2025 that will help anyone who is doing a major event prepare by doing 2 big days of mileage and elevation. It's very hard to reproduce the elevation in the UK to get you in shape for your major goal but what better way then to train where the Professionals get in shape early season. We will take you on a journey across the beautiful climbs in the Costa Blanca region clocking up the miles as we go. Not only will we help you train though in the evening we are here to answer you questions regarding your ride strategy, equipment choice and also nutrition.
Pyrenees cycling experience
COMING SOON!
In July 2025 we will head to the beautiful historic town of Lourdes at the base of the Pyrenees mountains. We will stay at the Grand Hotel Gallia & Londres which is ideally located for our quiet ride out on the cycle path towards the mountains. During the week we will take you up some of the well known climbs as seen on the Tour de France and La Vuelta Espana such as the Col de Tourmalet, Soulor, Aspen, Hautucam, Luz ardiden and Col des Borderes.
7 Day holiday based on 2 sharing
If you want to share with your partner or just share costs, we offer double occupancy as double room or twin rooms option. You can also bring a non riding friend or family member with you at a cheaper price. If they are not riding, the area and local town offers plenty of things to keep them busy during the day and evening. With spa facilities in the hotel, the beach just a 10 minute stroll away, plenty of shops and restaurants and even crazy golf... there's plenty of ways to relax over the week.

To make your cycling holiday even easier, we offer high-end bike hire with a fleet of 11 Basso bikes built with 12 speed Campagnolo Chorus group sets. Gearing is 50-34 and 11-32 cassettes so perfect for the hills. Our bikes are kept and maintained directly at the hotel so will be waiting for you on arrival. If you hire a bike you also have a Kask helmet as part of the booking to save you the trouble of bringing one.
