Women's Only Camp
WOMEN'S ONLY, GIRONA - ROCACORBA
7 nights - April - April 2025
Have you ever thought about participating in a cycling camp but have been nervous about the level and whether you would be the only woman? Now is the time to act—this camp welcomes all women!
This will be the perfect week with all the best Girona has to offer. We have selected the best locations for the stay and created a program where there is time for fun, cultural experiences, and ample time on the bike. In the fantastic cycling area in Girona, you’ll grow more confident on your bike and have the opportunity to improve your technical skills.
​
The camp begins with 2 nights in the charming old town of Girona, and from there we’ll ride some incredible routes around the beautiful Costa Brava. In addition, we’ll experience the vibrant life and cozy atmosphere in Girona including the excellent restaurants and well-known cycling cafes.
After a few days in the city, the camp transitions to the calm countryside at Rocacorba Cycling. Here, you’ll have time to enjoy relaxation and the gourmet cuisine prepared by the in-house chef. Seated at the foot of the iconic climb Rocacorba, our premium location has access to several beautiful routes in Girona province.
When our group cycles from Girona to Rocacorba Cycling, your luggage will be transported to the new location. This country house offers beautiful surroundings and is the ideal place for time for contemplation and relaxation.
Why women only?
We’ve received several inquiries from women, but found that they’ve been nervous about the difficulty level and being outnumbered among competitively minded men who want to ride fast. That’s why we’ve created this Camp: to give women the space and opportunity to experience Girona at a cycling camp where they can feel safe, where there is space for everyone, and the opportunity to improve their technical skills and be challenged in the mountains.
​
The group will be divided into 2 levels, and both groups will have experienced female guides who’ll make you feel completely safe on the roads. We aim for the groups to be similar and balanced so there is space for both the good-to average rider and those who wants to improve their confident and technical skills on the bike. We expect that the participants are training for this camp and that you feel comfortable sitting in the wheel in a smaller group.
Training
This women’s camp is made in collaboration with Rocacorba Collective, which is an online cycling community with weekly workouts and social rides on the online cycling platform Zwift. Here you are part of a community of women from all over the world and have the opportunity to connect with like-minded people. By participating in this Camp, you’ll automatically become a member of the Rocacorba Collective where there will be a weekly training session exclusively for those who participate in this Camp. Moreover, these trainings are a place where we can all meet and get to know each other in advance and train together for this camp. The weekly Zwift training will be coached by Fie Østerby on Discord and the goal of the training is getting ready to ride in the mountains. Training begins January 1st.
