Registrations for the Winter Training Camp 2024 are OPEN!
Members can find more information on the forum.

Every February we leave the cold and rain back in London and swap it for the warm weather and smooth valencian roads, on our annual winter training camp.

This region has the perfect combination of beautiful roads, varied riding terrain, reliable weather and top-class facilities and hotels. It’s also the choice of many pro teams, some of which we get to see out on the roads. It’s the perfect location to get your cycling going during the winter months and get ready for the season. It will help you get on the right track for your cycling goals for the year.

Riding in Altea

Our winter training camp has been a success every year. It’s organised by the members of the club. It’s a very inclusive environment and the rides and groups cater for different levels of ability.

This is a trip for all regardless of experience or perceived fitness levels. There will be multiple groups on the road of different paces and distances, and there will always be a group that is right for you. You can get whatever you need from the camp, and ride as much or as little as you would like. Full support is there to help you whatever you want to do.

Coach Watto designs a plan of routes and activities for every day of the training camp. The activities vary from tough days of climbing, Time Trials, to relaxed rest days riding to the cafe.

We get well looked after by our support crew, who follow the riders on the roads, providing assistance with any mechanical issues, and keeping us fed and watered.

It’s not all work and no play!

There are many activities off the saddle too. Our members get to enjoy of the hotel spa, climb the Calpe Rock, or stroll around the beach. We also have yoga and stretching sessions run by our members, and a pub quiz!
