Why not join us for some top quality preparation for these big cyclosportives here in Thailand.

Training in Chiang Mai

Nothing can prepare you better for the tough ascents in Europe than training with us here through the Thai Highlands where, in our opinion, road cycling actually doesn’t get much better.  And with mountains like Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s highest peak, standing at 2565m, this is something for experienced cyclists looking for some seriously challenging road cycling training.

Conquer the highest peak in Thailand

Cycling through the Thai Highlands around the Mae Hong Son Loop, with challenging mountain passes, big ascents and amazing descents, will help push your endurance and stamina to the limits,  so achieving all your training goals and more. Come and experience cycling on roads that just get better and steeper and more beautiful with every corner.


Pedalling up “The Doi” has got to be one of the toughest road bike rides in this part of the world. With an ascent of 2300 meters in 48 kms and with gradients hitting 20% in places, the climb is more than three times as long as the famous French mountain-pass l'Alpe d’Huez. Set in the most spectacular mountain range and with top quality, wide sweeping roads, Doi Inthanon is fast becoming the most popular challenge for road cyclists in South East Asia. This is road cycling at its finest!
