Mallorca · 8 days · From EUR 390 (indicative)
The camp is based in Playa de Muro and organised by Philipps Bike Team, which has run cycling holidays on Mallorca for over 25 years. The week is a joint production with TOUR magazine, whose editors ride with the group and give talks. The sporting side is led by Yvonne Margraf, who has run Philipps Bike Team's programme since 2022 and knows the island's roads and alternative routes; Torsten Weber of PMP Coaching is head coach and has planned the team's training camps since 2022.
A typical day is a ride in your chosen group, with distances and climbing set by level, followed by an evening session. Saturday's welcome covers the week's logistics and the island. Sunday's talk is on nutrition and training, using Margraf's build-up to the ultra-cycling world championships as the worked example. Tuesday's is Thomas Musch, publisher of TOUR, on life in the editorial office, his own racing and the TOUR Transalp. Friday's farewell reviews the week's photos and opens the floor for questions. Two evenings are still to be confirmed.
The four groups are Genießer (70–113 km, 19–21 km/h, 520–1,270 m climbing), Genießer Long Distance (81–143 km, 21–23 km/h, 720–2,400 m), Roller (81–143 km, 24–25 km/h, 720–2,400 m) and Roller Long Distance (94–166 km, 25–27 km/h, 820–2,940 m). The published figures are guidance only and you can move between groups each day.
Beyond the riding, the package includes bike athletics and recovery sessions, a live preparation webinar before the camp, and a Dextro Energy nutrition pack with isotonic drinks, water, a daily picnic to take on the ride and full marathon-race support. Wahoo test pedals with a power meter can be borrowed free of charge during the camp, and a performance diagnostic with lactate testing is available for €220.
Everyone at the camp is entered into a draw for places on two four-person teams at the Rad am Ring 24-hour race. The week can only be booked together with the Philipps Bike Team cycling package, which costs €390 and covers the standard range of services; hotel rooms and rental bikes are booked separately.
