Personalised Road Bike Tour in Málaga — Carbon Road Cycling on the Costa del Sol

The Experience
Before You Go
Pre‑ride bike fit
Provide your height and shoe size when booking so guides can set up your carbon bike correctly for comfort and power transfer.
Hydration and electrolytes
Carry at least 1–1.5L of water for half‑day rides and add electrolytes for longer or hotter days to avoid cramping.
Know the route profile
Ask the guide for total elevation gain and where the steepest pitches are so you can pace your effort and use gears efficiently.
Group riding etiquette
Stay predictable, call out hazards, and keep a consistent line on descents—this improves safety for the whole group.
