Trip Preparation
Honest numbers, so you know exactly what you are signing up for.
VELOVIA camps are built for avid road cyclists, not racers. We ride as one group at a conversational pace, regroup on every climb and let the support van take care of everything else. The days are big, but they are designed to be ridden — and recovered from.
The Three Formats
Format
Longer distances, more climbing and a focus on development and endurance. Requires good base endurance and experience on longer mountain routes – not suited to beginners.
Pace depends on the group · Preparation: individual, based on your fitness
Format
A more relaxed pace, shorter routes and more time for the experience off the bike. Suitable for beginners with basic road cycling fitness.
Relaxed group pace · Preparation: ride regularly before the camp
Format
Follows the Dolce Vita philosophy, created especially for a women's group – with a supportive atmosphere, confidence and community. Suitable for beginners with basic fitness.
Relaxed group pace · Preparation: ride regularly before the camp
Are You Ready?
As a rule of thumb: Dolce Vita and Ladies Ride suit riders with basic fitness who ride regularly, while Performance requires good base endurance and experience on longer mountain routes. The application form asks about your weekly volume and (optionally) FTP to help us understand your riding profile and organise the best possible group experience.
