Why attend a training camp with Custom Cycle Coaching?

Our Spanish training camps are staffed by experienced coaches and ride leaders there to ensure you get the most out of your stay. The camp offers unrivalled terrain and weather at this time of year and is perfect if you're training for a challenging event such as the Haute Route, Marmotte or l'Etape du Tour. We have small groups and will tailor the training to your needs focussing on climbing and descending technique that is simply impossible to replicate in the UK. For an example of the riding you could do over a week's stay click here.

'La Alpujarra' region cannot be rivalled for the combination of mountainous terrain and warm climate early on in the year with daily maximum temperatures averaging ~20°C. It is frequently used in races such as the Vuelta a Espana and by pro riders for training camps, as well as local races and the 'Gran Fondo Alpujarra'. You will stay in a charming Andalucian village in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, but with the Mediterranean coast (la Costa Tropical) under 40km away.

Check out what people are saying about our camps...

The Alpujarra region is a hidden gem for cycling, and Tom knows the roads (and the cafes) like a local. I’ve been out for the last 4 years, and it’s a superb place to start the season on the right foot. The roads are quiet, and well surfaced, and the routes are amazing…whether you want long climbs, coast rides, or even the occasional easy day to a café, Tom has you covered. The camps are relaxed, friendly affairs, with options for longer or shorter rides over a variety of terrain, but always beautiful views.

Tom ran an excellent training camp, which was more challenging than previous camps I had been on in Mallorca, but which was designed to include a mix of longer, harder rides and shorter days, so that by the end of the week I felt that I had got some really good training in without returning home overly fatigued. I’d highly recommend the experience.

Top quality riding in beautiful, tranquil environments. The routes available are diverse and give you a great mix of climbing, flat and rolling roads. Tom and Stephen make the riding great fun and know the area intimately, which when coupled with their experience and backgrounds, renders you confident that you’re in good hands. Would go back in an instant.

The region was perfect for a training camp, with some testing climbs and wonderful long descents that challenged your skills and made sure you got the most out of all the hard effort on the way up. Tom and Steve knew the area really well, and gave us freedom to pick routes and different options based on how we were feeling. It felt at times that we had the roads to ourselves, with great support from the team and a chance to test yourself against some strong riders. The knowledge and experience from cycling shone through with Tom and Steve, creating a really relaxed atmosphere where you could soak up hints and tips about riding and racing back home. I'll be there next year, and hope it’s a great experience again!

You may find a brief moment, after an hour long climb and just before a 20km descent, in which you forget the screaming pain in your legs and just get lost in the spectacular scenery. What you get after a week of those moments is some of the best rides you can ever do with some of the best coaches and riders you will ever ride with.

This is the first training camp I have been on, the routes were challenging and made for great training. Combined with the people, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
