Mallorca - train where the pros train
Located off the southeast coast of Spain, a short flight from mainland Europe, Mallorca attracts thousands of cycling enthusiasts each year. The mild climate, beautiful scenery, and a vast network of cycling routes, make this the perfect cycling destination. There are literally hundreds of miles of secondary roads with pristine pavement over varied terrain, from the flat farmlands of the East, to the mountainous Northwest coast. The terrain provides ideal training conditions for every skill level. The villages, rich with cultural and architectural heritage add to this European experience.
2011 will be the fourth year to work with the coaches of Balance Point Racing and
FaCT-Education, to offer the perfect warm up to Spring riding. Optional lectures will take place in the evenings, with opportunities for technical swim sessions and run training as well. Our goal is to help athletes understand the physiology behind their performance, and introduce training ideas to support long term development. Rides will cover a minimum of 100km each day, and cyclists interested in a winter training plan, and pre-camp lactate testing, are invited to contact the coaches at www.balancepointracing.com
We encourage all athletes to search for a FaCT Certified test centre to arrange lactate testing prior to arrival at our camps. A list of

Our accommodations include two different 4-Star hotels. The initial few days will find us enjoying the beachside town of Playa de Palma, followed by a week of riding from the town of Alcudia. Both sites offer two fabulous buffet meals each day, while also being close to beaches, shops, and local attractions. The hotel locations are perfect for the non-training family members of our guests, with amenities for children as well.
Join us for Spring Training in Mallorca, and get a jump start on your season.
