Cyclists are increasingly serious about the exercise of their sport. To this end, they regularly book a cycling holiday abroad. But what do you do if you want to rent a bike in Benissa or Moraira, for example? Actually, all of this can be arranged quite easily online from the home country.
Although the world is now in crisis, everyone knows that it will change again. It is important to us to remain positive. That helps us to stay strong when it is difficult and gives us hope for the future. Many of our clients we have contact with during this period are hoping to plan a cycling holiday in Spain. Maybe not for the first few weeks or months, but hopefully as soon as possible. We write this blog for them and all new positive thinking customers.
Clichés are there because it is true: The Coll de Rates is an extremely popular mountain to climb on a road bike. This mountain is certainly not the toughest nor the steepest climb on the Costa Blanca. Yet it is one of the best known and famous mountains. Cyclists from all over Europe come to undertake this climb throughout the year. Do you also have plans to meet this challenge? Then book your Carbon Stevens Ventoux Disc Ultegra (Di2) here.
That this mountain is still a favorite is easy to explain. The Coll de Rates can be driven from two sides. This makes it easy to reach from just about all holiday destinations on the Costa Blanca. For that reason, this climb is included in a number of routes on our Strava account. You´ll find them – as well as other influenced climbs – on Strava.com and search for Allure Bike Rental.
February is a period for many people from the North of Europe to go out for a while. A short holiday, where both a winter sport and a sunny holiday are often booked. For the avid cycling enthusiast, a sunny holiday in February is of course a dream come true. For the real ski fanatic, winter sports is the ultimate way to refuel. In the Spanish mountains, both the winter sports and the cycling enthusiast can go well. It´s all about making choices.
Also for the year 2019 we have ordered new bikes at Allure Bike Rental. This way you are assured of excellent quality every year. The racing bikes for your holiday in and around Altea on the Costa Blanca are from the brand Stevens. This time we have chosen the top quality of the Stevens Ventoux Disc Ultegra. That means top quality for an affordable price.
To hire a roadbike on the Costa Blanca can be confusing. You are planning to do so, but how to proceed. In the first place you are reading this blog now, so you have already found our website. That is the first step towards to hire a road bike on the Costa Blanca. And yes unfortunately for all people who are looking for an E-bike, mountain bike or city bike, Allure Bike Rental currently only has racing bikes for rent. But then the best quality carbon bikes assembled with Shimano Ultegra with disc brakes and (optional) electronic shifting.
Nothing more fun than immersing yourself in typical Spanish life during the holidays. After the rented road bike has been delivered to you, it is time to explore the area. You can plan a route that takes you along the various delicacies of the Costa Blanca. We set out a few here.
We take the risk that this will be a bit of a technical story or that the real cyclists say; “We knew that for a long time”, just a bit of background from the Di2. After all, you do not have to read our blogs to rent a bike here.
They are cliche´s: the Costa Blanca is the Florida of Europe. It has the most beautiful weather in Europe and the healthiest climate in the Mediterranean. Therefore it is all year round perfect to hire a racebike. But cliche´s do not just happen!
