Trips and training camps

A fun and friendly cycle club
CCL Altea Training Camp 2024

Every year, our members organise a number of trips, ranging from long weekends in the UK through to week long training camps in Europe. In prior years, we’ve run end-to-end trips from North Wales down to Swindon and have visited Altea (on the Costa Blanca) and Majorca for week long trips, mixing cycling and socialising for a fun time.

In 2026 and beyond, we plan to add new destinations to mix it up a bit. We’re likely to head to Dorset, have an end-to-end trip from Penzance to London plus visit Girona in the late summer / early autumn. Further trips are planned in UK locations and elsewhere in Europe in 2027.

What is typically included on our European Camps?

  • 7 Nights Full Board Accommodation
  • Fully Supported Rides with team cars and team van
  • Grouped rides depending on pace. There will always be a group for you
  • Pre Planned Routes with longer and shorter route options.
  • Evening Talks on different cycling and training related topics
  • Return Flights
  • Bike Transport from London and back again (No having to pack in bike boxes)
  • Airport Transfers to and/from the hotel

Riding in Europe

Our training camps have been a success every year. The are organised by club members, are inclusive environments and the rides and groups cater for different levels of ability. Activities vary from tough days of climbing, to relaxed rest days riding to the cafe.

These are trips 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.

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 the hotel spa, visit the local landscapes or stroll around the beach. Dependent on location, we also have yoga and stretching sessions run by our members and a pub quiz!
