Days follow a rhythm built around riding. You start with an activation session before each ride, then head out on coach-led routes through the Costa Blanca hills — the roads around Javea, Calpe and the Col de Rates are the local training ground. Hydration and energy snacks are provided daily (three gels and two bars per person per day), and there's mechanical support and roadside assistance if anything goes wrong out on the road. Back at the house, post-ride recovery nutrition and guided stretching sessions close out the day, and your bike gets cleaned after every ride day.

What separates this from a standard cycling holiday is the coaching. An APEX Coaching Elite Level Coach is with you for the whole camp, using sports science methods to plan the rides. 4DP testing at the start identifies your strengths and weaknesses. On-road tips cover bike fit, position and riding technique, and the coach gives direction on riding to the conditions and terrain. Educational sessions cover strength and conditioning, aerodynamics, pacing for time trials and timed events, nutrition strategies, yearly phased training, race-day timelines and recovery — and your group picks which topics to cover.

There's also a race simulation day. Depending on your group's interests this might be a time trial, road race tactics, or specific race scenarios practised on the road, complete with a race-day timeline and nutrition strategy. Your coach gives a full post-race analysis afterwards. A skills and drills session can be added, tailored to what your group wants to work on.

Gym time is built in too: strength sessions focused on core work, injury prevention and bone density, the last of which the camp notes is usually a challenge for cyclists. One-to-one nutrition consultations cover training and racing strategies, and weight loss consultations are available if you want them.

The base is a guest house in Javea that Blanca Bikes runs, sleeping up to 20 people in twin rooms, with single room supplement upgrades available. Breakfast is included each day, and evening meals are included at a well-regarded local restaurant on the doorstep — or you can opt for a paella night at the house instead. Airport transfers from Alicante or Valencia are included for guests and their bikes and luggage.

Blanca Bikes is run by a former Scottish racer, with shops in the area including a café in Parcent that's a popular stop before the Col de Rates climb. The hire fleet is Moda — the Finale and Viva, both 12-speed Di2 carbon road bikes with disc brakes — and hire includes bike damage insurance, a free Blanca Bikes jersey for each rider, secure bike storage, mechanical support and a bike clean after each ride day.
