Spring Training Camp in Majorca, Spain
March 12 - 20, 2010

Signature Cycles is proud to present an amazing way to kick off your riding season: a seven day, professionally guided, fully supported cycling trip on the beautiful island of Majorca. We are partnering with GPM10, a cycle touring company based in Annecy, France. We have had the pleasure of using GPM10’s services on a cycling trips in the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps in addition to our 2009 Majorca trip. GPM10’s exceptional logistical planning and execution will make you feel like a pro, right down to the only team support vehicle on the island.
Majorca boasts an incredible variety of cycling terrain, from flat coastal rides to serious mountain climbs. The Mediterranean climate makes for an average March low temperature of 59°F and an average high of 61°F. Many professional road cycling teams’ spring training camps are located in Majorca because of the excellent terrain and climate; it's common to see teams out training when in Majorca in the early spring. When you combine Majorca's attributes with GPM10’s professional support staff, you’re bound to end up with a trip that could quite possibly become an annual habit.
The dates of this dream cycling training camp are March 12 through March 20, 2010. The cost of the trip is $2050.00 USD. The trip is limited to 16 people. Air travel arrangements will be made on your own and are not included in the price of the trip. As of 11/18/09, round-trip airfare (one layover each direction) to Palma, Majorca is just under $600. We will suggest a specific flight in an attempt to have everyone arrive in Majorca at the same time.
Please contact us with any questions; if we don’t have immediate answers, we will get you an answer from GPM10 as soon as possible. Signature Cycles staff members will be going on the trip to act as ride leaders and "domestiques". Give the trip as a holiday gift to your loved one or treat yourself. You will not be disappointed!
