Cycling takes center stage in Montréal this weekend as the 2026 UCI Road World Championships reach their final two days.
The elite women’s road race is scheduled for today, September 26, followed by the elite men’s race tomorrow, September 27.
For those watching, the racing might spark a familiar thought: perhaps it is time to spend more time on the bike, explore a different destination or work towards a new sporting goal.
A camp can give that idea a practical starting point.
Find your own reason to ride
Your next challenge does not have to resemble a World Championship race.
It might be feeling more comfortable on longer rides, learning from a coach or joining a group with similar interests. Perhaps cycling is already part of your routine and you would like to combine it with swimming and running.
Start by deciding what you want from the experience. That will help you distinguish between a cycling holiday, a coached cycling camp and a triathlon programme.
Two Mallorca options for 2027
For readers interested in all three triathlon disciplines, Total Tri Training’s Mallorca programme is listed on TopSportsCamps.com with two separate weeks:
May 1–8, 2027 — Total Tri Training Mallorca Triathlon Camp, Week 1.
May 8–15, 2027 — Total Tri Training Mallorca Triathlon Camp, Week 2.
Both listings describe coached cycling alongside swimming and running, with training adapted to different experience levels. The camps are based in Playa de Muro, with accommodation at VIVA Blue & Spa.
These are triathlon camps. Anyone primarily interested in cycling should ask the organizer whether the programme and participation options suit their plans.
Look beyond the destination
A scenic route can catch your attention, but the daily riding programme deserves just as much consideration.
Ask about typical distances, climbing, expected pace and time on the bike. Find out how groups are formed and what happens if a participant needs a shorter route or a different pace.
Describe your recent riding honestly: how often you ride, the distances you are comfortable with and your experience riding in a group.
This gives the organiser a useful basis for recommending an appropriate group or programme.
Understand what “beginner” means
A beginner triathlete may already be a confident cyclist. Someone new to road cycling may need a different introduction.
Before booking, ask which skills participants are expected to bring. Check whether sessions include instruction in group riding and bike handling, or whether those abilities are assumed.
For a triathlon camp, clarify the swimming and running requirements too. Suitability depends on the whole programme.
Make the practical arrangements clear
Confirm whether you need to bring your own bike or arrange a rental. If renting, check the available sizes, equipment and collection arrangements before travelling.
Review the daily timetable, accommodation package, transfers and additional costs. Confirm a place with the organizer before making travel commitments.
Turn a weekend of racing into a personal goal
Watching elite sport can be the beginning of an idea. The next step is choosing an experience that fits your own interests and starting point.
