Mallorca · 8 days · From GBP 799 (indicative)
The week is built around guided rides from Puerto de Pollença. On the first day the guides form groups by speed, so a rider training 12 hours a week for triathlon and a rider out for a steady week of coffee rides both get a group that suits them. Routes change with conditions and with how the group is going — guides adjust during the ride itself, not just at the start.
Expect the climbs and coastal roads that made Mallorca a cycling destination: smooth tarmac, switchbacks, and the sea on one side for much of the week. The guides know where to stop for coffee and snacks, and they will take photos of you on the way up if you ask. The support car follows the route, so there is always a way out if the legs give up.
The team is led by Adam and Klaudia, who also run the Dolomites trips. Guests who have ridden with them repeatedly mention the same things: routes planned in detail, support stops that arrive when you need them, and guides who know when to push the group and when to ease off. One rider described a cassette failure mid-mountain being fixed within 20 minutes with a whole new wheel.
The Club House in Puerto de Pollença is the hub. It has on-site mechanics, Basso bike hire, nutrition and the team's own coffee. It closes for a winter break and reopens from 1 March. If you are hiring, book early — the Basso fleet is limited.
The hotel is in a good spot in town, with smart rooms and a buffet at breakfast and dinner that guests tend to rave about. It is a short ride from the port and the start of the main climbs. This is a cycling holiday rather than a training camp: there is no structured interval programme, no power testing and no coaching plan. What you get is well-organised riding on excellent roads with people who know them.
