Majorca Training Camp

Pre-season training camp professionally guided and supported in the Serra de Tramuntana Mountains of Northern Majorca.

GPM10 have again teamed up with CycleFit to provide a very special week of quality training with professional support. Northern Majorca's combination of mountains, flat lands, great roads and mild spring weather make it a popular destination for many Pro teams (Saxo Bank and Team Columbia-HTC included) for pre season training. 

Our camp provides a stress free environment in which to build up the endurance miles needed in preparation for key events later in the season. The ride itinerary for the week is structured with a focus in the mountains and includes routes over the Colle de Puig Major to Sa Calobra and the spectacular coastal road via Diea. Each ride is professionally guided and supported by our team car with advice on nutrition, equipment, climbing and descending provided through out the week. Film

Our base camp is a 4 star ecological resort situated just outside Port de Pollenca empathically constructed on a natural wetland and has everything you will need in the resort: restaurants, indoor and  outdoor swimming pools, gym, wifi, café and shops. Sports massage (extra charge) can can be arranged each day and prices for single rooms and additional nights are available on request.

Ride schedule for the week.

Day 1 - Arrival day (Saturday). Relaxed ride out to Cap de Formentor, 2-3 hours. 'This is a beautiful but hilly route out to the lighthouse at Cap Formentor and a great ride to do late in the afternoon.'

Day 2 - San Salvador (180km - 6 hours) A fairly flat route inland to San Salvador Monastery - one significant climb (7km). + poss. bonus climb). 'The is a long day but  plenty of time to chat as we will ride as a group out to San Salvador after which it is every man for himself for the climb to the Monastery. There are grand views from the top and across the island with a nice cafe to have lunch before the ride back.'

Day 3 - Sa Calobra (75km) First day in the mountains - Sa Calobra via Selva - ' the most spectacular descent on the island with a 9km (700m) climb back up from sea level.'

Day 4 - Deia and Valldemossa (130km) Mountain and costal ride via Lluc - Coll de Puig Major -Deia - Banyalbufar - Coll d' es Pi - Coll de sa Gremola. 'The long descent off the Coll de Puig Majo into Soller is very fast and a lot of fun - Deia is beautiful but the coastal road to Valdemossa is very hilly... if there is southerly wind the ride back across the island will be testing.'

Day 5 - Rest day - 'Nice gentle spin in the morning then take a massage and relax by the pool for the afternoon.'

Day 6 - The Classic mountain loop (160KM 7+hrs). 'The Longest Day - this is the classic mountain loop and used by many pro teams on training camps and always features as the BIG mountain stage in the UCI Tour of Mallorca,'

Day 7 - Coastal ride to Arta 140km - Bunch ride out to Arta and back 'Once we reach Arta there is a technical climb and descent to a remote monastery followed by a nice coffee and cake stop before heading back for the final bunch sprint to the hotel.'
