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.

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.
