THE COACHING

COACHING THAT CHANGES THE RIDE.

BaseCamp brings the strongest camp coaching approach in the industry: a high-touch, coach-led learning system that turns every session into better riding.

01

MORNING RIDER MEETING

Start with an interactive rider meeting where coaches teach a focused lesson and set the lens for the day.

03

POST-RIDE DEBRIEFS

A short debrief with your ride leaders clarifies and strengthens on-the-road learnings.

COACH-LED RIDE

The lesson becomes the featured coaching focus on the road, with every coach reinforcing it through observation, prompts, and feedback.

04

EARLY-EVENING CLASSROOM

Select days close with optional classroom learnings on training, nutrition, and performance topics.

RIDE DAYS

SKILLS IN THE REAL WORLD.

The week begins with the safety and group-riding fundamentals that help everyone ride well together. From there, the curriculum progresses through pacelines, descending, mountain pacing, climbing, and riding economy before bringing everything together on the road to Formentor. Coaches reinforce each day’s focus on the road with observation, practical cues, and feedback.

TRAVEL

GETTING THERE AND SETTLING IN.

AIRPORT

Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is the only airport on the island, about a 50-minute drive from the camp resort. If you arrive and depart outside of our free airport transfer times, it's super simple to hire a taxi at the airport or book one ahead of time; we recommend Taxi PMI (when booking, select Playa de Muro as the dropoff location, and type Viva Blue as the dropoff address on the second screen). You can also easily rent a car.


We offer free group pickups at the airport at the following times (please note that your flight must arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to these times to allow you to join them). These times may be amended slightly to accommodate as many travelers as possible.​

 

  • Wednesday, April 7, 2:45 p.m.

  • Wednesday, April 7, 6:30 p.m.

  • Thursday, April 8, 1:15 p.m.

  • Thursday, April 8, 4:00 p.m.

  • Friday, April 9, 10:00 a.m.

​

The camp kicks off on Friday with shakeout rides during the day and a welcome reception at 5:00 p.m. We recommend checking in at the hotel in plenty of time to get settled first. Want to arrive early or stay later to explore the island on your own? Book some extra nights at our group rate!


The camp ends Saturday, April 17. We offer two free group transports to the airport that day as follows:

​

  • Leaving the hotel at 4:00 a.m.

  • Leaving the hotel at 8:00 a.m.

TRAVEL PAPERWORK

As you prepare to travel, please make sure that your passport expires later than six months after the trip ends. If your passport expires before October 10, 2027, we highly recommend renewing it now, as the renewal process is currently subject to serious delays.

 

​The ETIAS travel authorization may be required for travel soon; watch for updates.

TRAVEL SUPPORT

We can add extra nights to your stay at our group rate; just let us know what nights you need! The hotel does sell out, so be sure to send in your arrival and departure dates as soon as you have them; we recommend by January 1 at the latest.

​

Not sure about selecting flights or shuttles? Contact us for travel support and let us help you make the best travel arrangements possible.

There's more to do in Mallorca than ride your bike! If you need sightseeing and day trip suggestions, be sure to check out this list of our favorite things to do on the island when we're not pedaling.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

GOOD
QUESTIONS.

Who is this camp for?

Motivated cyclists with a solid base of fitness and group-riding experience. We run six or more pace groups every day so you ride with peers, not above or below your level.

What about non-riding friends or partners?

Non-riding guests are welcome at a reduced rate and have full access to the resort, meals, and group dinners. Mallorca is a beautiful place to explore off the bike.

How do I get to the resort?

Fly into Palma de Mallorca (PMI), about a 50-minute drive from the hotel. We run free group airport transfers at set times on arrival and departure days (see the schedule above).

Should I bring my bike or rent one?

Either works, though we recommend bringing your own if possible, as it has obvious advantages in individual comfort. Before your trip, we suggest getting a tuneup at your local bike shop so it’s ready to roll for your week of riding. Once at camp, our team will help you assemble your bike and make sure it’s ready to ride. Each day we’ll check to make sure everything is safe and ready to roll, and for major mechanical work, you can visit the onsite shop at the Cycling Station. Bring your bike in good shape, and we’ll keep it clean, lubed, and running great each day!


If you prefer to travel light, the Viva Blue boasts one of the most modern cycling stations on the island the on-site Viva Cycling Station by S’Escapada, which offers a large selection of new, high-end rental bikes, including excellent Cannondale and Scott models. The cost is reasonable, but booking early is important! The process is simple: click here and follow the prompts (if you're asked for a booking or room number, just type "BaseCamp group"). For a more detailed tutorial, check out our guide to renting a bike in Mallorca. When you check into your room at the front desk, the staff will hand you your bike key along with your room key. 


If Bikes Viva doesn't have the model you want, the Rad Salon BMC Playa de Muro shop is just around the corner and another great option.

How do I get my bike to Spain?

If you decide to bring your bike instead of renting one on the island, we highly recommend carrying your bike on the plane, as shipping bikes has gotten more and more complex. UPS has had a lot of issues with tariffs and significant delays between countries, and even speciality carriers like Bike Flights are getting more and more expensive with less assurances that a bike will arrive on time. Yes, there is also risk in flying (bikes can be damaged in travel or get lost), but those risks tend to be less than the risks of shipping, and you have more control in minimizing those risks with good packing and planning. Flying with your bike gives you the best chance to have the most comfortable and successful riding experience.

How do I hold my spot?

A $500 deposit at registration reserves your place. Read the full camp policies for cancellation, refunds, and balance schedule.

What are the ride groups like?

We believe great rides start with riding in the right group. Our ride system is built specifically with carefully organized groups based on fitness and ability. Riders are grouped to match FTP ranges from approximately 2.0 to 4.0+ w/kg and average paces from 14 to 20+ mph, helping you find the right pace, the right challenge, and the right people so you can focus on building fitness, skills, and confidence every day.

 

  • Multiple ride groups (typically six) each day, with clearly defined pace and power targets so you can train at the right intensity for your fitness and goals

  • Supportive and skill-aligned groupings allow you to ride with others of similar strength and experience, whether you're pushing your limits or riding steady

  • Daily adjustments encouraged; move between groups as needed throughout the week based on how you're feeling or what you're targeting

  • Experienced coaches and ride leaders guide every group, ensuring a smooth, safe, and well-organized ride experience

  • A culture of encouragement and inclusion, where riders challenge themselves while supporting one another on and off the bike

  • Daily self-guided "explore" rides offer a fun, low-stress option for those wanting a shorter spin, perfect for soaking in Mallorca's stunning scenery, visiting local highlights, and enjoying a more relaxed day on the bike

Can a friend register for camp and share a room with me after the camp is sold out?

Generally, yes! However, there is often a waiting list of folks wanting to fill any spots that open, so the first step is for your friend to join the wait list. Please also email us at info@joinbasecamp.com to let us know that you would like to share your room with him/her.

Can I come to camp and stay off site?

Our Mallorca camp is designed as a fully immersive coaching and community experience, and all participants are required to stay at our designated host hotel during the official camp dates. Shared meals, informal coaching, group activities, and time spent together are essential parts of the experience, and onsite lodging allows us to deliver the full camp program consistently for everyone.

Can I book extra nights at the hotel before or after camp?

Yes! We encourage you to arrive early, if possible, so you have time to adjust to the time zone, settle in, and relax before camp begins. You can also stay after camp to continue exploring the island. You can see all the details here about adding nights at our group rate or upgrading your room. Additional nights and upgrades are subject to availability, so we encourage you to confirm your travel plans no later than January 1, 2027.
