APEX Coaching & Consulting – a new partnership for Blanca Bikes

Blanca Bikes is proud to announce its latest partnership arrangement with APEX Coaching & Consulting based in Boulder Colorado. APEX Coaching exists to create, captivate, and inspire the world’s best athletes and coaches and has been helping athletes Achieve Peak Endurance experiences since 1999.

So now you have booked your Costa Blanca Cycling Holiday, how are you going to ensure you get the most out of your cycling break? You might have a ridden a few rides to work, been out on a few Sunday club rides, you might even have completed the odd 60 mile sportive, but are you confident you are going to be able to ride the Costa Blanca for 4, 6 or 10 consecutive days and get the most out of each day? Are you confident you are not going to “Bonk” halfway up the climb from Callosa d’en Sarrià to Tàrbena, that you aren’t going to wobble on the Coll de Rates or push your bike up the last painful meters to the summit of Cumbre Del Soll?

Why not give yourself that extra confidence, get the best value from the money you have spent on your cycling holiday and prepare yourself the way the professionals do by undertaking a professionally prepared 12-week Training Plan written by APEX Coaching and Consulting and offered through Blanca Bikes.

Blanca Bikes has partnered with APEX Coaching and Consulting to offer exclusive 12-week Training Plans to Blanca Bikes clients. These Training Plans take the specific demands of the local Costa Blanca terrain, climate, and training durations in mind, as well as how much time you have to devote to training before you arrive in Javea / Calpe.

Plans provided by APEX Coaching will guide you through training progressions using the best in sports science and years of coaching experience with proven results. Just the right doses of intensity, duration and recovery all combined to help you reach your goals.

The 12 Week Training Plans are designed for:

  • Time-crunched athletes looking to maximize available training time
  • Looking for something more affordable than One-on-One Coaching
  • Looking for a customized plan tailored to their needs
  • Looking to improve your fitness or prepare for an event
  • Looking for a training plan that may include endurance training, strength training, and more

APEX Coaching and Blanca Bikes offer three plans to fit your training needs to help you get the most out of your cycling holiday. Basic, Mid and Level-UP.

Great stay here for 2 weeks. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Blancabikes looked after me and very well and took care of all my needs. This is a brilliant place to come to for training, and only being a 5 minute ride from the coast, you have all the cafes and restaurants you could ask for. I would seriously recommend to anyone looking a cycling getaway.

What a great place to rent a bicycle at Blanca Bikes to explore the area around Xabia (Javéa)! Perfect bikes of very high quality (I rented the Cervélo Solist Rival). And I very much liked the professionalism and kindness of Nigel who helped me getting this unforgettable experience!

We used Bianca bikes for a transfer from Alicante to Calpe, 4 people with 4 bike boxes. Super slick, the driver was waiting for us in arrivals at the airport and we were straight into the private bus parked outside. They even helped us with a mechanical in Parcent on our last day free of charge. Thank you.

This was my first experience on a bike camp and I would recommend Blanca Bikes for anyone interested in a great cycling adventure. The staff was great, breakfast every morning was world class, and the cycling in the Xabia area is world class.

Unreal 3 days riding with Blanca! A very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, something for everyone. We were a group of 4 medium / keen cyclists and couldn’t have been better - some stupidly nice routes around the area, the bikes we were given the best bikes we’ve ever ridden and the breakfast in the morning sorted us right out. Couldn’t recommend this enough! Cheers to Nigel Peter and the rest of the team for sorting us out

Blanca Bikes were awesome at providing supported rides with postcard views on fantastic bikes, located centrally in excellent accommodation with the best breakfast to start the day. Will recommend Blanca Bikes to all my cycling mates!

First impressions: Clearly the team Blanca Bikes’ mission is to create the perfect cycling vibe - friendly, bustling and full of enthusiasm. Or perhaps it’s simply in their collective DNA. Either way, as soon as I crossed the threshold of Blanca Bikes Hostal, it felt like my spiritual cycling home - I had arrived! My all carbon bike was ready, prepped and patiently awaiting the addition of SPD pedals and my Garmin Edge slotting reassuringly into the pre-installed seat. Plug & play - attention to detail & life made easy! Stage (guided ride) 2 and we’ve got our champion rider in the breakaway; one final ‘sticky bottle’ feed from the service vehicle and we press on for success. The Director Sportive isn’t taking anything for granted, barking orders and encouragement into the team radio - crossing the finish line, arms now held aloft following the expressed recognition towards the BB Logo!! Everyone is utterly charmed and the Blanca Bikes palmerés records yet another deserved achievement - more delighted customers ready to sing the praises on a thoroughly positive and enjoyable cycling experience. On the podium for the GC this year, for sure - a Costs Blanca ‘Grand’ Tour, in every sense of the word! Chapeau!!

Awesome service. Cant rate Blanca Bikes high enough. Peter sorted me with a ride with very little notice, super flexible in my requests, and gave some excellent suggested route. I'd really recommend.
