Question 1

What level of fitness do I need for a cycling training camp in Girona?

Accepted Answer

If you've ridden a couple of seasons consistently, the Chill group is in your range. Fast is for riders who train regularly and are comfortable with 90 km+ in their legs. Day one is a shakedown — we sort the groups on the road, then adjust through the week. Nobody ends up in the wrong group.

Question 2

What if I'm the slowest rider in the camp?

Accepted Answer

You won't be. Sixteen riders, two pace groups (Chill and Fast), sorted on day one based on what you actually ride like rather than what you said in the booking form. The whole point of running two groups is that nobody's hanging on for grim death the whole week, and nobody's rolling at half pace either. If your week is going better than expected by Wednesday, you can move up. If a long climb day humbles you, the easier group is right there.

Question 3

Do I need a power meter or a specific FTP?

Accepted Answer

No. There's no FTP test on day one. Two pace groups are sorted by feel and by what we see on the road — power numbers are useful but they're not the entry ticket. Bring whatever head unit you train with; we'll talk numbers if you want to, and we'll happily ignore them if you don't.

Question 4

What's actually included for €995?

Accepted Answer

Five nights at the farmhouse, breakfast every morning, all six guided rides, in-ride nutrition (gels, bars, drink mix), the follow car, airport transfers from Girona, and Anthony, Sarah and Matthew on hand the whole week. Lunches and dinners aren't included — most days we eat out at coffee stops or local spots. Reckon on €15–25 a meal.

Question 5

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

Payment is taken in full at the time of booking through Stripe — €995 for one camp, €1,700 for both back-to-back, plus €200 per camp if you add the single-room supplement. The spot is yours the moment the payment clears. No deposits, no waiting around for an invoice.

Question 6

What's the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: we don't do refunds. The second you book, we're committing to your spot — house, support, the lot. If something comes up, transfer the spot to a mate. That's why travel insurance is required.

Question 7

Do I need to bring my own bike?

Accepted Answer

Bring your own. It's dialled to your fit and you'll ride it best. We've got a basic toolkit at the house and the local Girona shops on speed-dial for anything serious. If flying with a bike isn't an option, drop us a line — we can usually sort a hire through a partner shop in Girona for an extra fee.

Question 8

Where exactly are we staying?

Accepted Answer

Can Sagnari — a restored 1749 Catalan farmhouse in Cornellà del Terri, 20 minutes from Girona and five from Banyoles. A pool that stays open all year, four thousand square metres of gardens to wander after a long ride, and the kind of stone-walled space that makes the week feel like a proper escape.

Question 9

How do I get to Girona?

Accepted Answer

Easiest is Girona-Costa Brava (GRO) — small airport, 30 minutes from the house. Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) is bigger and 90 minutes south, fine if Girona doesn't work for your schedule. Send us your times once you've booked and we'll handle the transfer both ways.

Question 10

Can I do both camps?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and there's a bundle for it. Both camps back-to-back is twelve days, two formats, same farmhouse, no airport transfer in between. €1,700 for the pair (saves €290 vs booking each on its own), plus €200 per camp if you want a single room. Pick 'Both Camps' on the booking form.

Question 11

Who's leading the rides?

Accepted Answer

Anthony's on the bike every day, in one of the two groups. Sarah handles ops and rides too. Matthew runs the follow car. The two-group setup means there's always one of us with each group, and the car's on radio with both.

Question 12

What's October weather actually like?

Accepted Answer

October in Girona is the sweet spot — averages 22°C in the day, 12°C at night, after the worst of the summer heat. Empty roads. Light traffic. Some years there's a half-hour shower mid-week. Pack a gilet and arm warmers and you're sorted.

Question 13

What's the difference between a cycling holiday and a training camp?

Accepted Answer

A cycling holiday is a week away with rides on the schedule. A training camp is a week structured around getting fitter — pace groups, follow car, in-ride nutrition, terrain that progresses through the week. Roadman camps lean toward the second: this is a training week with the support of a holiday, not a coach-and-cone session.

Question 14

Are Girona's roads safe for cycling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Catalan drivers are among the most cycling-aware in Europe — there's a strong cycling culture, the local police know the roads, and the back lanes we use see almost no traffic. We avoid the busy C-roads at peak hours and stick to the network of farm lanes the pros use. Use lights, ride predictably, and you'll have a quieter time on the road than at home.

Question 15

Can solo riders book a Roadman camp?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most riders come solo. We pair up rooms by default (twin shares with another camper of the same gender), or you can take a single room for an extra €200. Sixteen riders eating dinner at one long table every night means nobody is on their own at this kind of camp.
