# Ride the Elevation

> Premium guided road cycling camps in Andorra and Spain, hosted by former WorldTour rider and current Lidl-Trek head directeur sportif Steven de Jongh, with hospitality and full-time support-vehicle backup from Renee Meijer. Maximum eight riders per group.

Ride the Elevation runs week-long, fully supported cycling camps built around legendary Pyrenean and Spanish climbs. Steven rides with the group every day and coaches on the road; Renee follows in the team car with spares, food and drinks. Accommodation, breakfast, dinner, ride food, coach transfers and bike rental (if needed) are included, so riders make no logistical decisions during the week.

Camps are open to riders of all levels - the only requirement is being comfortable on clipless pedals and able to spend roughly 4-6 hours in the saddle. On climbs everyone rides their own pace and the group regroups regularly. Private camps for clubs, teams or groups of friends can be arranged on custom dates.

Contact: info@ridetheelevation.cc. Camps are based in Arans, Andorra and Altea, Spain.
