About the camp

For six years, NRG Performance Training has been synonymous with excellence in coaching, guiding athletes from Canada and globally. Our collaboration with NRG continues, crafting professional and exhilarating Triathlon-focused Cycling Camps.

 

Having explored destinations like Sicily, Calpe, Tuscany, Nerja and Javea this year, we set our wheels towards the charming Lagos for 2024 Portugal Cycling Camp.

 

Cycling in Lagos

Picture yourself cycling on diverse routes, from gentle coastal paths to thrilling 8+km climbs, all under the idyllic April weather of Lagos, boasting highs of 23°C. Enhance your stay at a luxurious 4-star beachfront hotel, complete with a pool, where our NRG coaches and guides provide invaluable ride feedback, and HC Bike Tours supports you every pedal of the way.

 

Prepare for the hilly terrain of Lagos with the right gear – we recommend a minimum 34 x 34 small gear. The routes are thoughtfully selected to match group abilities, and while road bikes are a must, rental options are available for your convenience.

 

Cycling focused camp

Tailored for road bike enthusiasts, our Portugal cycling camp prioritises group riding to conquer substantial distances, with additional running and open water swim options for triathletes.

 

The NRG coaching team meticulously plans each training program, catering to varied group needs and ensuring a fulfilling experience for all skill levels. Our small group sizes, each led by a dedicated coach, guarantee personalized attention and an optimal riding pace.
