Gran Canaria has the best roadbike training camp available right through the winter months. This was the most popular destination for a large number of pro and amateur teams to escape the terrible European winter.

The diversity of routes is astounding, with low traffic, superb road surfaces, and more importantly a long way from drab mass market cyclo tourism which makes this destination a new and challenging experience for even seasoned cyclists.

Choose from a range of high end current year bike models included in the price to ensure that this is a stress free holiday, that at only €500 per person sharing and ex flights is extremely competitive against other destinations with similiar packages.

Once here all local management and guiding taken care off by professional bike companies with English, Spanish and Irish staff.
