Cycling Training Camps

Luxury 2012 camps now available, click here for details.

In 2012 we have both self guided and coached training camps available year round. So please contact us with your requirements.

Coached cycling camps include our early season training camp to get you ready for your race season, a training camp including the chance to view the Tour of Catalunya and a chance to watch the top pros in action and training camps to get you ready for 2012 cyclospotives. We also offer complete beginner training camps.

Training camps can be from weekend, to weeklong, to 10-day camps or longer, depending on your specific training needs. We also look after long stay pro ahtletes. During your stay with Girona Cycling, you will enjoy a high level of coaching, with training sessions specifically tailored to your own specific needs and fitness levels. We believe that you will get the most out of your trip with us, if group sizes are kept small. We are open year round and can provide a camp at any time, so please book early to get the training camp that best fits your up coming season.

Please see this cool video from the Endura team that shows them training at Mas Pelegri in January 2011. But do not worry you do not have to be a pro to stay at Mas Pelegri. We look after beginners too.

We have put a great deal of time and thought into our location, looking around the world for the perfect training site. Consequently, the area we have chosen has an incredible variety of beautiful rides and terrain. Mas Pelegri has two 1000 metre climbs only 10kms from the door. One of these is the infamous Rocacorba. Dan Martin holds the recored time of 28 mins 45 secs. One of our guests also holds the record for the oldest person up Rocacorba, 83 years old and he did it in 1 hour 10 mins. A ski station at over 2000 metres is only 80kms, or 50 miles from the door.

We also have flatter and more rolling routes through the local countryside. On file we have over 100 training routes mapped from 20km up to 200kms. So please let us know what training you require and we will supply the routes you require for your training. Every stay at Mas Pelegri includes route maps and GPS downloads and emergency help if you have a problem while training.

For cycling you will enjoy beautiful scenery, while riding on quiet, well maintained roads. The weather is fantastically warm and sunny and you have the Pyrenees, the Garrotxa Volcanic National Park and the Mediterranean all within cycling distance (this is the training ground of a 7-time Tour de France winner). Cycling is also a national sport in Spain, so the other road users appreciate cyclists and will not try and run you off the road, so you can relax and enjoy your riding. Every coached ride will be lead by an expert cycling coach, and because our group sizes are small we can tailor the rides to personally fit your fitness and training level.

When you choose Girona Cycling for a luxury training camp, you will be provided with a personal training plan for the week prior to and following your stay with us. This is to ensure that you arrive fresh and ready to tackle the camp, and also so that you do not lose all you have gained by pushing too hard on your return. We also have access to a lab that conducts sports performance testing, so if you want to have a VO2 max test or lactate threshold test it can be arranged for you. Evening lectures are available covering training, new innovative training aids and nutrition. We also offer core strength training. We also provide, as one of our packages, a complete years personal training program. Please contact us for details.

At certain times of year, there is the option to compete in local cycling, or cyclo-tourist races, see Events page. (An international race license may be required and we need to be informed well in advance if you wish to take part). We also arrange day trips to watch the major tours, for example the Tour de Catalonia in March, the Tour de France in July and the Vuelta d'Espana in September

You can choose between self guided trips to luxury fully guided camps.
Clubs, teams and groups are very welcome. We are flexible enough to provide a completely custom trip to specifically fit your groups needs. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and for available discounts.
