Training Rides

Training rides are guided and leave from the hotel between 8:30am and 10:00am depending on the weather and the length of the ride we have planned for that day. Typical ride lengths range from 30-85 miles. Average pace of the rides varies depending on terrain and distance; typical average speeds are between 16-20 mph. The terrain is mostly rolling to hilly with short climbs ranging from 1 to 4 miles in length. Flat to gentle rolling terrain is found in the Alava Valley where we also so some riding. There is no guided ride planned for the last day of each camp. This is a day for ground transfers to and from the airport and/or a recovery day for riders who choose to extend their stay.

Weather conditions can vary quite a bit in most of Europe. Anyone who has watched the Tour de France has probably noticed them riding in beautiful sunshine one day and cloudy cool conditions the next day. The Basque country is no exception. Normal conditions in this area are low to mid 80s with 1 or 2 cloudy days or mornings a week.
