Want to train like a pro for a week?
Tailwind Coaching is proud to partner with HC Bike Tours to offer you the opportunity to train like a pro for a week in 2019! Mark your calendars for April 14th to the 21st for an unforgettable training experience in beautiful Mallorca!
For 8 days and 7 nights, you'll be pampered at luxury accommodations while training like a WorldTour Pro!
Pedro Delgado, a winner of the Tour de France and Vuelta Espana, probably described Mallorca the best:
“Majorca is a special place to cycle because the weather is good and you can find flat terrain or mountains; Majorca offers riders of different abilities good opportunities. I think it's a perfect place to ride.”
“When I was I professional, I used to come here for our team training camp in January, it's where we planned for the season. You see it still nowadays with many professional teams still coming to Majorca in the early part of the season. Majorca's a perfect location to start the season because the weather is warm and there are good routes to ride.”
Mallorca is an old-world European country rich in heritage and culture. It's also home to some of the best cycling in the world. From mountain climbs to beautiful valley roads and quaint towns, you'll experience the best of European cycling all in one trip.
As Delgado said: “In Majorca, you can find everything.”
Train like a WorldTour rider! Based on Tailwind Coaching's training theory and backed up by HC Bike Tours team experiences, you'll go from riding a couple hours to attacking the same climbs the pros do! We'll explore the Mallorcan countryside during rides up to 5-7 hours long and build strength and endurance along the way.
Real science, real simple! Learn the scientific relationship behind training volume, training intensity, and interval training. Apply those concepts each day on pre-determined rides designed to both challenge and reward your fitness! We'll make it easy to take training concepts and apply them to your own training after the camp.
Multiple levels of intensity! Whether you're a beginner rider looking for a boost, an intermediate rider looking to expand their capabilities or an expert racer looking for a fitness edge, we'll cater the training schedule to YOU!
Explore Mallorca! One of Spain's Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean is rich in history, including Roman and Moorish remains. It's also home to world-class beaches, breathtaking scenery and bucolic old towns. There's something for everyone, from cyclists to non-cycling family members!
All inclusive! Along with training like a WorldTour rider for a week, you'll be treated like one! Included are shuttle services, mechanic assistance, bike rentals (or ship your own), experienced ride leaders, personalized coaching, personalized photography and more!
Enjoy traditional Mallorcan cuisine! Sample traditional dishes and treats such as panades, cocas de cuarto, ensaimadas (perfect for coffee stops;) Pa'amb Oli, arros brut, frit Mallorqui, tapas, paella (perfect for dinner!)
