Days start at the camp house in Tivat. Breakfast is whatever the group decides — something cooked in the camp kitchen, a delivery, or the restaurant next door — then you head out on the day's route. Six of the eight days are riding days. The routes have all been ridden and checked by the guides, with detours added by local cyclists, and they take in the climb up Lovćen, the roads around the bays, Porto Montenegro marina and the Kotor fortress. Lunch is normally at a café partway round.

The support car is the thing that makes the routes manageable for a mixed group. It carries tools and can take riders who find a section too hard, or whose bike breaks down. Where a hard part can't be skipped, the car helps. Routes are also designed so you can cut portions short if you're tiring.

Riding is on road bikes, or gravel bikes with reasonably quick tyres. There are optional gravel sections that a road bike can handle, though wider rubber helps. If you don't want to fly with your bike, there are road bikes to rent on site, and the team will try to source a fitting gravel bike if you'd rather ride that.

Eugenia and Alex guide the camp. Eugenia's comparison for the terrain is the Côte d'Azur or Costa Brava — mountains growing straight from the sea. Alex handles questions about logistics, bike transport and the camp chat. Both are contactable before you book.

You don't have to ride every day. If you want a rest day, you can stay at the camp or ride your own route. Women riding solo are housed in spaces physically separated from men, unless they're travelling as a pair.
