Description

Live like a professional for the week at Manchester Cycling Academy’s Costa Blanca Half Term Skills Camp.

This isn’t just a cycling holiday or training camp – it’s a chance for younger riders to experience the training lifestyle of the world’s best riders in an elite and supportive environment.

Live like the pros
You’ll stay full board at the incredible Hotel Cap Negret – the winter home of professional teams such as Bahrain Victorious, Van Rysel Roubaix, Lotto Dstny, Flanders-Baloise, and Laboral Kutxa. After every ride, you’ll return to the hotel buffet for the fuel you need, and use the dedicated bike zone alongside the pros with tools, laundry, and bike wash included.

Train on iconic routes
Just 15 minutes from Benidorm and Calpe, Altea is at the heart of the Costa Blanca’s world-class cycling terrain. Daily rides will explore legendary climbs such as the Col de Rates and the stunning Castell de Guadalest, all under the Mediterranean sun.

Base miles, not burn-out
We believe young riders should prioritise low-intensity, consistent miles over high-intensity sessions. Our camp is built on this philosophy: long rides, sociable paces and steady efforts. Riders of all abilities will find a group that fits, and younger riders will build the endurance they need to thrive in the coming season.

A family feel

This trip has a real family feel and throw in that you’ll mix with professional riders every day, you’ve got the perfect environment for creating an unforgettable experience on and off the bike. Our guests are a mix of teenage developing riders, parents and cycling enthusiasts of all ages, which makes for a welcoming, supportive and inspiring environment.

You’ll stay in a twin or family room as a family unit and our ride leaders will guide the groups out into the hills each day.

Riders aged under sixteen years old are welcome to attend but must be accompanied by, and stay in the same room as a parent.
