This is probably one of the most common questions I get asked, and I understand why. People looking to book onto a Velocamp week want to know that they're going to be surrounded by like minded people of a roughly similar age, so they're not feeling left out.
It's a hard one to answer because obviously we do have a wide range of ages coming to ride with us. But we do definitely have a larger demographic of clients in the 55 and above range. I think this is due to a few different reasons.
The first reason, and something I've really tried hard to get across within our marketing at Velocamp and on the website, is that we are definitely not a hardcore training camp. I created Velocamp Mallorca with a vision to combine my decade long career working on board super yachts, taking the service element of that role and combining it with the world class cycling that Mallorca has to offer.
The result is a week that is, of course, primarily focused on the cycling, but also has a very strong lean towards the service element, which is all demonstrated through the villa, the private chef, the daily massage, and the personal service that delivers all of this throughout the week. When you factor in all of the support that's offered at Velocamp too, through the multiple guides as well as the support vehicle that never leaves our side each day, it means our natural demographic of client has evolved into someone who prioritizes comfort and service above KOMs and FTP tests.
Because of that, I'd say our average age group sits at 55 plus, rising right up to 70 plus. We're able to serve such a wide variety of ages, right up to the 70s, because we also have top of the range e-bikes available, which makes the entire island accessible for everybody.
Of course, we've had lots of people visit us in their late 30s and 40s too, as well as a father and son duo, with the son being just 15 years old, which was fantastic to see. We'll leave the young ones to go on the hardcore training camps, of which there are a couple, but that's certainly not us.
Yes, it's a challenging week. Yes, you have to arrive with a good base level of fitness and be prepared to spend some long days in the saddle. But there's more than enough time to recover, everyone is supported, and no one, I mean no one, ever gets left behind.
