We are in the early stages of building the club and seek to make our website a focal point for the cyclists of Pinar de Campoverde & Pilar de la Horadada therefore we welcome your input.
Whilst the Orihuela Costa roads are full of cyclists of all kinds there is a real lack of information on where they meet at what times and which routes they take, this can make meeting like-minded souls very difficult when you first land.
Read our blog "A year in Campoverde"
We hope to be able to document as much of this as possible in one handy resource, again we will welcome any suggestions or information that you have.
We aim to be inclusive of all types of riders from any background whether a visitor to Campoverde or a Resident, any nationality or Gender is welcomed to ride.
