International Bike Weeks

The popular International Bike Weeks training camps are back at Club La Santa for 2026, led by well known international cyclists. With breath-taking coastal views and some fantastic mountain climbs, the islands’ amazing landscape makes Lanzarote an ideal place to train. This training camp is perfect for cyclists of all levels who are ready to challenge themselves in varied terrain and great company.

Routes vary in length and difficulty, taking you south, through the striking Fire Mountains, and north toward views of La Graciosa. Participants are placed into groups based on speed and ability (from 21 km/h to 30+ km/h), ensuring there’s a suitable pace for everyone. The slowest group rides at 21–23 km/h.

Each group is led by a host and a guide, and longer rides include stops for sandwiches and refreshments. Before each day’s ride, you’ll receive tips on bike setup, and you’re welcome to ask the hosts for advice on group riding, climbing, or cornering.

The programme also features exciting social events, from fun evening gatherings with the hosts to a competitive pool tournament. Each week wraps up with a celebratory dinner at one of our restaurants, where prizes are awarded and the week’s achievements are truly celebrated.

In fact, every time his care made it to the finish line across 18 years, he stood on the podium. It is no wonder that this great racing driver is known as ‘Mr Le Mans’ to motorsport fans around the world.
