Always remember that we want you to get the most out of road cycling holiday with us so all routes can be extended, most routes can also be cut short too…..all you need to do is ask your guide! The only thing we can’t do is make the rides flatter!!!
We always tailor the rides to suit your ability and fitness level but at the same time we want you, the rider, to experience the best road cycling routes you have ever ridden. This usually means a bit of effort on the climb although this is more than made up for on the exhilarating descents that follow. Depending on your fitness and requirements we are able to customise your road cycling holiday to meet your requirements. Choose from routes varying in length from 50 – 160km that have anything from 1000-3000 metres of climbing.
Where there’s an up, there’s always a down! The schedule below is not set in stone. There are numerous routes to choose from and we are always happy to make the rides shorter or longer to suit your training, ride, holiday requirements.
Fly to Malaga Airport. Transfer to Ronda.
We start the week with a ride to Setenil de la Bodegas which was once a thriving economic centre on the ‘Travellers route’ between Sevilla and Ronda this picturesque white village is now famous for its cave houses and olive oil. Here we stop for refreshments at, in my opinion, one of the best tapas bars in this area which is set beneath the overhanging rock face inside a cave. After the pit stop you can choose from either a 30k or 40k ride back to Ronda. The route then takes us along side the Ruta de Bandaleros (Bandits Route) and below the Roman Ampitheatre at Ronda la Vieja. We then descent 7km into the valley below Ronda before our last climb of the day brings us back up to the beautiful historic town of Ronda

Today we head into the Sierra las Nieves National Park, we head out to Canate de Real and Serrato, we take on the climb the guides have nick named the ’12 f**kers’ before a fast descent into El Burgo.

Alternatively, you can pick up a route card and go out for a ride without your guide.
We can also organise a Sports Massage
Deep in the mountains to the south of Ronda is ‘Pueblo Pitufo’ aka Smurftown. An epic day riding to this quirky mountain village that has been painted Smurf blue! Definitely a day for your climbing legs, which is why it’s immediately after your ‘rest day’! The high light of any cycling holiday has to be the opportunity to get your picture taken with Papa Smurf ! On a clear day we can see the Altlas mountains in Africa on this ride.
