How fit do I need to be?
We have groups for varying abilities and welcome riders of different fitness and experience levels. This is a training camp and you don't need to be at your fitness. That said, it is important to have a decent base level of fitness to be able to cope with long rides over consecutive days. We cannot cater for everyone and if you are a beginner cyclists this may not be the trip for you. If you are unsure please don't hesitate to get in touch: hq@ridethestruggle.com.
I've never ridden in a group before. Is that ok?
I've never ridden in a group before. Is that ok?
Sure! If you haven't ridden in a group you'll gain this much-valued skill while joining us in Mallorca. We recommend you begin the week in a slighlty steadier group than you are used to. Once you have the skills nailed down you can move up the groups.
Should I hire a bike or bring my own bike?
Should I hire a bike or bring my own bike?
This is totally up to you. If you prefer a hassle-free trip and aren't used to travelling with your bike then hiring might be better for you. However, if you have a nice bike and feel comfortable riding it, you'll love gliding around the smooth roads on your favourite steed.
