Even though winter is almost knocking at our door, it\u2019s never too late to make a little summer throwback. Although October doesn\u2019t really mean the fully-blown European summer anymore, the island of Mallorca is understandably exempt. As we\u2019ve informed you before, We Love Cycling and \u0160koda AUTO sent three lucky chaps to test their stamina at Stephen Roche Cycling Camp.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sacrifices of Stephen Roche \u2013 No Limits, No Excuses<\/span><\/h3>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n<\/div>\n

As you can guess (and see in our video), the winners were understandably ecstatic. Not only because all their accommodation, travel, and gear expenses were fully covered and there was delicious food and beer, but mainly because Mallorca\u2019s flawless tarmac and hairpin road bends are a proper training heaven for cyclists. And the weather and views are to kill for. Although Steven himself was called off for urgent business just days before, the winners Alexander Sedov (Russia), John Boyes (United Kingdom), and Vincent Bottcher (France) were placed in the hands of the most skilled ride leaders found on the hilly island.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We wanted to bring you the most thorough experience of this amazing opportunity, so we\u2019ve send along none other than Mark Fergusson aka Cycling Maven \u2013 our Australian treasure of a cycling vlogging and Instagramming. His honest and highly entertaining videos and observations complete the full atmosphere of the event and make for a nice \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d series.<\/p>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n

All four guest riders basically share the same opinion: although the rides were demanding and they\u2019ve reached the bottom of their endurance more times than once, they wouldn\u2019t trade it for the world. They learned how to push their limits, sink their teeth into the road (metaphorically, of course), and simply repeat the famous mantra \u201cshut up, legs.\u201d We believe that this will be the experience that will stay at the top of their \u201cawesome list\u201d for a very long time.<\/p>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n
