ROAD AND MTB RACING IN SOUTHERN SPAIN

Racing in another country is an exciting prospect. When that country is Spain, it’s even more attractive not to mention warmer! Andalucia has a full racing calendar for road and MTB running from February to November. We organise all you race requirements such as entry, transfer, race support, translation, bottling and feeding while you focus on the race.

Weekend Packages
International Bikes 51 weekend race packages are run over a 4 day weekend. A typical weekend starts on Thursday when you fly into Malaga Airport, Friday is spent training and acclimatising, on Saturday there is a short training ride and an evening race meeting and then the actual race on Sunday. You can then either fly back late on Sunday night or on Monday. Insert links to dates and prices page and booking form.

Training Camp or Cycling Holiday Week Race Package
The most popular and relaxed way to race in Spain is to attend either a training week or cycling holiday and race on the weekend dates of your stay. We will post the dates of the races on the ´Dates And Prices’ page when the Andalucian Cycling Federation release the 2006 race details.

Road Racing/Cicloturista
Road racing in Andalucia is different. Most of the races are financially supported by the local councils taking the pressure off cycling clubs. They are well organised and well supported by riders and the local people who will line the streets in towns to cheer on the riders. Spain is a cycling nation after all! Generally speaking, the races are held in warm and sunny conditions which only adds to the spectacle.
Cicloturistas are similar to the French randonee, this is an open race for all categories and abilities. What that means in practice is that the first fifty race and the rest enjoy riding in an organised event. It is very popular in Spain and very well attended.

Mountain Biking Cross Country/Enduro
There are numerous cross country series run in Andalucia. The race season starts at the end of January and runs through to July.
The Enduro season begins in Spring and after a break for the summer months starts up again in September and runs through to November. It’s a very popular way to enjoy a day in the saddle especially in the Autumn when most of Europe is freezing you can ride in the sunshine in Spain.
