Mallorca Training Camp April 2012

This event marks a return to our roots as we revisit the original "Poco Loco" training clinic with Tour de France stage winner, and King of the Mountains, Gert-Jan Theunisse, and former champion triathlete and ex-pat British cyclist Gary Fry. You don't have to be mad to ride with us but it helps!

From Sunday the 8th to Sunday 15th of April 2012, the camp format will be our "Base Plus" package designed for building base fitness with additional specific training segments for experienced riders upon request.

The basic cost will be £375 per person per week including the training rides with Gert-Jan Theunisse and Gary Fry, and half-board accommodation at the Cala Bona Hotel.

Free Accommodation:
Riders that attend both the Tour of Cornwall 2012 and this Training Camp will be eligible for a free prize draw to win free accommodation for this camp. See our blog for full details of the free accommodation promotional offer.

The Cala Bona Hotel overlooks the old fishing harbour at Cala Bona on the south-east coast of Mallorca, not far from Cala Millor, and has a special secure cycle room for storage, and cleaning or repair of bicycles.

In addition, you will need to arrange your own flights. Easy Jet return from Liverpool was £129 at the time of writing.

Bicycle carriage with Easy Jet is £50 return. Airport transfers in Mallorca are also extra.

Bicycle hire(full carbon with Ultegra group set)  in Mallorca costs £150 including airport transfers.
