What to expect

THIS IS NOT ONLY
A HOLIDAY TRIP

The HC Training Camp is designed for experienced riders who want to build a serious base for the 2027 season — sportives, gran fondos, or any ambitious cycling challenge on your calendar.

Over 7 days, expect long days in the saddle, real efforts, and structured riding. The Algarve delivers the perfect terrain — and hopefully the sun does the rest.

A word on preparation

A solid winter base is essential. With low mileage in the legs, keeping up with the group and repeating long efforts day after day will be very difficult. Come prepared — regular, consistent training beforehand is what makes the camp enjoyable and worthwhile.

NEW DESTINATION.

The destination

ALGARVE,
PORTUGAL

Flat coastal roads, rolling hills, Atlantic headwinds — the Algarve is one of Europe's finest winter cycling destinations. Mid-March means empty roads, mild temperatures and long rides.

These are the same roads where professionals race the Volta ao Algarve, one of the season's first major stage races. Now it's our turn.
