Majorca Training Camps

nunowoolmez

Hi folks

Planning to spend a week or 2 in Majorca next spring to get some solid miles in before the season kicks in. I have had a look at various sites on the web, some seem to be crazy expensive, but others quite reasonable. Looked at La Fuga & GPM10, they look great but very expensive. The others I looked at are Wheels In Wheels, Andy Cook Cycling, & Majorca Training Camp. All look quite good & much cheaper.

I did search on here for similar but got nothing, except Max Herzeuler, but I think that is aimed more at German & Swiss language speakers. Does anyone have any experience of any of the above or any others? Any feedback or advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

There are loads of camps, but I'd recommend that you research what each does and how that fits with what you want.

At one level most camps will provide a bed, meals and a selection of groups to go out with (usually on set routes with a group leader in case you get lost).

By paying more you are likely to get more structured traing, advice about your riding, a mechanic's services, a following car etc etc. Some camps will have evening seminars etc.

At the top end you will be in smaller, objective specific groups with a high coach/rider ratio.

I'd certainly look at Andy Cook, Dave LeGrys and others. Some clubs run their own, but are happy to have "guests" to spread the costs.
