Transform Your Riding

From high-altitude climbing to coastal endurance rides, we combine challenging terrain with expert guidance to help you unlock your potential.

At PurpleVelo, we don't just organise cycling tours—we coach transformation. Our Coaching & Training Camps are designed for cyclists who want to ride stronger, think smarter, and train with intent.

Cycling in mountains

Our Three Pillars

Structured Daily Rides

Structured Daily Rides

Every day is purpose-driven. You'll ride with intent—whether it's climbing technique, threshold development, or simply active recovery. Our coaching team adapts the daily plan to your individual goals and group dynamics.

Real-Time Coaching

Real-Time Coaching

We keep group sizes small so you're not lost in the pack. Expect hands-on feedback on cadence, positioning, climbing rhythm, descending lines, and pacing—all during the ride.

Evening Review Sessions

Evening Review Sessions

Every evening, we gather for structured feedback, training discussions, and ride debriefs. We use your data, your experiences, and your goals to plan the next day's ride better.

Our Coaching Philosophy

Every PurpleVelo camp is driven by one core belief: coaching should be actionable, personal, and empowering.

We focus on improving how you ride—not just how far or fast. That includes:

Technical Skills

Understanding gear ratios and when to shift. Reading the road on descents and picking safe, efficient lines.

Physical Training

Managing heart rate or power zones on long climbs. Building a pacing strategy that works in real life—not just on Zwift.

Nutrition & Recovery

Learning how to fuel for a 5-hour ride without bonking. Evening debriefs give you time to absorb feedback and review ride data.

Who Should Attend?

You don't need to be a racer. Our camps are tailored to amateur cyclists who are:

  • Riding regularly (3x per week or more)
  • Comfortable riding 60–100km in a day
  • Eager to improve technique and gain structured feedback
  • Preparing for events with significant elevation

Whether you're a sportive enthusiast, an Ironman athlete in training, or simply a curious roadie who wants to ride better, you'll feel right at home.
