Cycling Camps
Almeria , Spain 18 – 25 March 2017 Autumn camps 7th-25th October
Why go on a cycling camp ?
The benefits are real , we all suffer from a shortage of time to train for our specific goals and a cycling camp allows that time , especially when the weather goes against as well and throws all our schedules out the window .
Wheels in Wheels camps give you the opportunity to focus on your bike and riding without the hassle of nipping down the shops or picking the kids up from swimming , we endeavour to take all those thoughts away while in Mojacar in mainland Spain .
Mojacar in the Almeria region of Spain is a relatively new destination for UK cyclists to go on training camps early in the year but the professionals have been going there for years . With its quiet very well kept roads , varied terrain and most importantly warmer weather than the UK , there ’ s something to suit all abilities including the chance to ride a 2,000m climb even in the early season .
RIDE LIKE A PRO back up service
Our Ride like a pro back service is something we ’ re famous for . Groups have a back vehicle on the road carrying spares and nutrition plus any day bags riders may want to take with personal spares .
So why not just nip back to the team car drop off the unwanted clothing , change a wheel instead of fixing a puncture or grab some food or drink and back in the group within seconds .
Then there is advice on all the things you wanted to know from our team of experienced guides , chance to ride in the mountains to prepare for that testing Fondo or Etape later in the year .
Arrive at Almeria and we take care of you from then on
Once you arrive at Almeria Airport , we take over . After the short one hour transfer to the hotel we arrange for your bikes to be put into the secure workshops , no need to carry the bike and fall over it in your room . An hour to settle in and unpack in your spacious twin bedded room check your emails and relax on the balcony . Then you can put your bike together or your hire bike will all ready be waiting for you to fit your pedals or saddle . Tools and mechanical assistance is available .

4 Star hotel accommodation
Our base at the 4 star Valle del Este Hotel adds an extra element to your week with time to take in a sauna or Jacuzzi or get that massage you ’ ve promised yourself since last year . Facilities include swimming pools indoors and out , spinning room and a gym .
We supply top nutrition from Clif Bar and Nuun on all the rides and advise on intake and hydration . After dinner how often can you sit down and socialise with like minded riders to compare challenges , learn from others experiences and relax , no chores , no work , just bikes .
We try and structure the week to allow your abilities to benefit from the time on and off the bike with no outside distractions . The hotel restaurant offers buffet style , excellent and plentiful food with the odd glass of alcohol ( even the pros drink beer ) this keeps everyone ’ s strength up for each days rides .
