WIW “RIDE” WEEKS
Welcome to the 2012 programme of Ride weeks on the beautiful Island of Majorca.
Wheels in Wheels have been successfully running cycling camps for 10 years and can offer that extra special week’s riding for all abilities and ambitions.
All our camps offer the unique “ride like a pro” service with full mechanical and nutritional back up throughout the week, along with fully guided rides all included in the price.
Our weeks will again be based at the Duva Hotel, now our fifth year here, on the edge of Port de Pollensa which is ideally situated for the mountains and all the popular rides across the Island.
We are offering one week in March, 10 – 17, to get those warm winter miles in time for the early UK classics or just getting the endurance miles in with your club mates and friends.
The March 10 – 17 week will also include a “Ladies Week” offering a ladies only specific ride each day alongside the normal camp. We plan to have special guests from the cycling world to help with riding techniques, nutrition and race tactics along to add to the week’s itinerary.
Our final week is the lead up to the 2 day Duva International Sportive on 21 and 22 of April and we are again offering three different packages for the trip:
- 9 days from 14 – 23 April 2012
- 7 days from 16 – 23 April 2012
- or why not try the weekend flyer from Friday 20th to Monday 23rd April 2012
All packages include entry to both days of the Duva International Sportive event
All packages include airport transfers, half board accommodation in an apartment, spa, sauna, Jacuzzi, indoor pools and gym facilities. Not included are your flights from the UK or mainland Europe. The hotel has a full workshop, secure bike storage, no need for bikes in the bedroom and the Duva plan to open a new shop next to our own workshop early next year.
We accept club bookings and offer group booking discounts and can design the week to suit your requirements and abilities.
We advise early booking as our weeks are limited so we can offer that extra special service at all times.
