Why Velodrom
A bike trip like no other
We run our trips the way we like to ride. Everything except the pedalling is taken care of.
Your pace, one group
Two riding levels and set regroup points. Climb at your own speed and the group waits at the top.
Feed stations, not gels
The van sets up a real feed stop on every ride: sandwiches, fruit, cold drinks and local treats under the Velodrom tent.
Bikes worth riding
Bring yours or ride one from our fleet: ENVE, BMC and Aurum, built and fitted for you before day one.
Dinner together
Every evening at one table with the group and the guides. Hotels chosen for their food, their spa and their bike room.
Good company
Coffee stops, long dinners and people you'll want to ride with again. Most of our riders come back for the next trip.
Every detail handled
Your luggage moved between hotels, GPX files for every day, a mechanic for every bike and help with your transfers.
How booking works
Three steps to the start line
- Choose your trip
Pick a fixed departure, or ask for dates on the trips without one. Every trip page has the full day-by-day itinerary.
- Hold your place
A €500 deposit secures your place. We confirm everything by email and answer any question about fitness, bikes or rooms.
- Get ready to ride
Pay the balance before departure, send us your flight times and your bike size, and we take care of the rest.
Your club, your dates
Bring a group of 6 to 16 riders and we run any of our trips on your dates. Groups of 16 pay the open-trip price; smaller groups pay a supplement.
FAQ
Good to know
Can I bring my own bike?
Yes, at no extra cost. Bring it boxed and our mechanic builds it on arrival day. If you would rather travel light, rent one of our ENVE, BMC or Aurum road bikes.
How fit do I need to be?
Our trips are for avid riders comfortable with back-to-back days of 100 to 150 km and 2,000 to 3,500 m of climbing. Each trip page shows the distance and climbing of every day, and there are two riding groups.
What if I'm slower than the others?
No problem. We regroup at set points and at the top of every climb, and the support van is never far away if you want to skip a section.
Is it OK to travel on my own?
Yes. Choose a single room, or a shared double if you are travelling with a riding partner.
What is included?
Hotels, the welcome pack with full Velodrom kit, guided rides, the support van and mechanic, feed stations and luggage transfers. Each trip page lists the exact inclusions, meals and airport transfers.
Which airport do I fly into?
It depends on the trip: Lourdes-Tarbes or Toulouse for the Pyrenees, Milan and Venice for the Italian Job, Ljubljana or Venice for Slovenia, Marseille for Provence. Flights are not included.
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes, we recommend travel insurance that covers cycling. It is not included in the trip price.
Can you organise a trip just for our club?
Yes. Groups of 6 to 16 riders can book any of our trips on their own dates, and from Girona we design private road and gravel trips from one day upwards.
