Can I bring my own bike?

Most guests prefer to bring their own bike, which is quite easy to organise. Obtain a bike box or bag, then simply deflate the tyres, lower the saddle, turn the handle bars and pedals in and use pipe insulation to protect the frame.

What spares do I need to bring for my bike?

We have a fully equipped bike workshop for carrying out day to day maintenance whilst you are here.

The store has track pumps, a work stand, tools, lubricants and cleaning materials for keeping your bike in tip top condition. We strongly recommend that you have your bike serviced before your trip and that you bring spare inner tubes and tyres (especially those who are riding on tubs).

It is advisable to check your brake pads are in good condition for the time spent in Spain as there are a lot of descents.

Are there activities for partners who do not ride to do?

For those cyclists who have partners, friends or relations who do not want to join all or any of the rides (or just fancy a day out of the saddle) the hotel has much to offer including its wellness centre incorporating,

gym, Jacuzzi, steam bath, sauna and therapeutic massages.  The hotel has a beach front location, with nearby golf course and shops.

Do I need a hire car?

It’s not essential as we have a mini bus available to our guests. Please ask for details.
