November Fietsen aan de Costa Blanca – veel beter dan dit wordt het niet

Zo is er weer een einde gekomen aan een geweldige groepsreis op de fiets, maar wat hebben we allemaal een lol gehad. Het weer mag dan nu donker en vochtig zijn in Schotland, maar de zon schijnt altijd als deze groep in de stad is!

Geen woorden kunnen de week beschrijven die we hier hadden bij Blanca Bikes met onze Schotse groep en met de hulp van @therealracingdoris en @oscarriesebeek .

Het fietsen was geweldig en de apres fietsen leuk. We hadden een mix van persoonlijkheden en dat was alleen al met Bobby Ferguson. George Welsh, onze dr. cardioloog, liet duidelijk zien dat hij een expert is op het gebied van harten, want hij toonde zeker weinig kennis van hersenen door niet te luisteren en te besluiten om een tocht te maken, verdwaald in het donker langs de col de rates. Bud Johnstone, onze ex-wereldkampioen Tri, droeg een paardenstaart om hem er jeugdig uit te laten zien, maar dat mocht niet baten.

Ali Ferguson heeft ervaren hoe het is om met de profs te rijden en dat maakte zijn vakantie helemaal af. We hadden een week van alles en nog wat en sommige verhalen zullen nooit vergeten worden, maar hopelijk geheim blijven.

Met dank aan John Campbell voor de organisatie en het Blanca Bikes team. We hopen jullie hier allemaal weer te zien.

Kijk bij Blanca Bikes voor je volgende We hebben voordelige pakketten beschikbaar voor de wintermaanden tot in het voorjaar.

Blanca Bikes now have a cafe, workshop and rental centre in Parcent. I've been to the cafe a couple of times and the food is excellent as is the coffee. I was there again today and arrived in need of help as I had just crashed off my bike and was bleeding, sore, and with a rather broken bike. The staff were phenomenal, I didn't need to ask for help, they came to the rescue as soon as they saw my state (which wasn't terrible). A first Aid kit was quickly made available as was a comfortable place to recover. Coffee was brought to me, more staff came to offer assistance. The mechanic, who was about to finish for the day came to check over my bike. The rear mech had been pushed into the spokes and neither wheel was spinning properly. He quickly fixed all these issues. I had arranged for my partner to come pick me up and when the mechanic saw us starting to dismantle the bike to get it in the car, he rushed over to help us again, neatly packing it in for us. Sometimes it takes a little crisis to realise and remember there are some wonderful people in this world, today I was reminded of this. A very big thank you to all at Blanca Bikes :-)

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.

Top und unkompliziertes Ausleihen von einem Weltklasse Gravelbike. Unkompliziert, top Service, top Räder. So beginnt ein Urlaub richtig. Danke an die Crew! Vor allem an Nigel für der Abwicklung

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
