What is Ride Camp?

If you’ve imagined yourself spending your days riding across the countryside, tackling pro-worthy climbs and banking the miles you need to get stronger. If you measure your free time in epic climbs and KOMs then Ride Camp is calling your name.

So how is this different from any other Trek Travel destination? Ride Camp is designed to take you beyond your typical day. To push your limits. To accomplish your training goals. You’ll pedal your way through pro-favorite destinations like Mallorca and Girona and tackle climbs like Sa Calobra, Caesars Head or Mount Figueroa.

A mix of guided and self-guided routes, Ride Camps focus on building your base miles for your cycling season or preparing for a big event. As a result, these trips focus on the physical dimension and not the site seeing incorporated into our other vacations. Guests also tend to be a little more self-sufficient than our ‘all-inclusive’ style trips.

You’ll take on each route with the support of our world class guides and industry-leading gear. But there’s a few specific things you can expect from a Ride Camp:

A Central Basecamp

Trip accommodations are handpicked in the region’s best location, convenient to our postcard-worthy rides and equipped to handle the specific needs of cyclists.

Active Nutrition

A hearty, fueling breakfast will be provided every day to prepare you for the saddle time ahead. Nutritious roadside lunches will be available mid-ride to keep your legs charged, and casual group dinners will help you unwind. Looking for upscale dining options? See our luxury bike tours»

Domane SL 7 Disc

Discover the world from the saddle of your race-ready Trek Domane, guided over ribbons of tarmac by your Garmin Edge 1030. You’ll live like a pro and return in the shape of your life.

To put it simply, you’re there to ride hard and kick butt. Our Trip Design Manager, Jenny, says it like this,

Ride Camp gives guests the opportunity to experience incredible and challenging training rides in world-class cycling locations with like-minded cyclists. Get off the trainer and onto amazing routes in beautiful locations!

Time to ride the way you’ve always wanted to, like it’s your job.
