This year the club celebrates its 80th anniversary. This is an incredible landmark and as part of our celebrations, we have arranged a unique Dulwich Paragon-exclusive training camp between April 29 and May 9 2015 - so save the dates!
You can come for the full 10 day training camp, one week (May 2nd - 9th), or join us at any time within the allocated dates - costs below. Our base is the town of Lanjaron in Andalucia, southern Spain - an excellent area for cycling, with the Sierra Nevada and the Alpujarras a short ride away.
We are working in conjunction with a company called Just Pedal. Their leaflet is attached and there is a summary below.
Just Pedal will coordinate the booking process for us (excluding flights). More information will be added to the booking website as it becomes available, including more information about the hotel, rides and FAQ's.
You can book directly online with Just Pedal using this link:
just-pedal.com/tour/dpcc-andalucia-2015/
NB* Use voucher code 'dulwich50' to pay a 50% deposit at check out, rather than the full amount. The remaining balance is due 6 weeks before departure.
SUMMARY
Accommodation:
Hotel Miramar in Lanjaron (see links) on a half-board basis.

10 nights: £600 (Weds April 29th to Sat May 9th).
7 nights: £450 (e.g. Sat May 2nd to Sat May 9th).

Single Supplement: £20 per night.
Airport Transfers from £55 per person. Free if people arrive in groups of 10.

Flights:
To better arrange our arrivals and departures with no transfer costs Just Pedal recommends the following flights with EasyJet:
Outbound:
Wednesday April 29 (10 day) - Gatwick > Malaga: depart 12:25 / arrive 16:15
Saturday May 2 (7 day) - Gatwick > Malaga: depart 08:00 / arrive 11:50
Return:
Saturday May 9 - Malaga > Gatwick: depart 17:10 / arrive 18:55
All local times. We would like to coordinate flight bookings within the club, please let us know what you have booked or are planning to book by emailing info@dulwichparagon.com .
Additional information:
If you book the 7 day option, it will be assumed this is for May 2nd - 9th.
If you book any other dates or number of days in the period please advise us of your preferences by sending an email to info@dulwichparagon.com .
For those taking advantage of the £70 bike & luggage transfer, collection will be from the Dulwich area, probably a week before the trip, with return one week after. All bikes and luggage transported at the same time, to and from Spain. If you are going for a shorter period your bike will not be returned to the UK until around May 16th, unless you arrange to transport it yourself.
Bikes should be in bike-bags or boxes for insurance purposes, but can be transferred without them.
There will be enough ride leaders to cater for all speeds and levels of fitness.
We are discussing a mountain biking option.
Additional services may be available to purchase: massage, 1-1 coaching, etc...
The dates may clash with other events, but we hope the option to come along for a shorter period gives people some flexibility.
Just Pedal:
We looked at a number of different providers but Just Pedal stood out as being willing to work with us to meet our needs at a reasonable price. The advantages of using them are numerous: they deal with providers on our behalf; they have existing contacts and equipment; they manage the booking process. They are a UK-based company with two full-time employees based in Guildford.
Any Questions?
Email info@dulwichparagon.com and we will get back to you ASAP.
Finally:
It promises to be a fantastic trip, so book your place NOW!
