FAQ

No! We are located near the centre of Ronda, where normally is enough parking. There are even two big (paid) parking areas on Avenida Martinez Astein and at the train station.

At Cycleronda our bike rental prices are a standard price all year round, which means we don't take advantage of our cyclist over the busy cycling season. Bike hire normally starts from around 18 euros per day with a hybrid bike (based on a weekly rental). Road bikes are 5 euros more expensive.

This also includes all necessary tools and spare parts as well as a map with route descriptions!
We also require a 25% deposit, at time of booking. This is to guarantee that you have your bike ready on the date of arrival and we are sure you’ll really want the bikes.

Regular aerobic exercise and a moderate level of fitness is required for our cycling routes. Our bike routes do vary in difficulty varying from an easy ride to challenging depending on the type of cyclist you are. Distances vary from 40 up to 120 kilometres, and between 1.000 and 3.000 elevation (high metres).

Yes, you're required to have medical and personal accident cover for our cycling tours. Make sure your insurance policy also covers sports activities abroad and accident cover in case you have to be sent home.
Check also which amount your insurance covers in case of theft of a bike that costs more than 1.000 euros.
Take with you your insurance policy numbers and emergency contact details before leaving your home country.
For UK clients we recommend that you bring your EHIC card, as this will help reduce the costs of medical services for treatment in the EEA (European Economic Area). Just remember without travel insurance, you can't book a cycling tour with Cycleronda, and the EHIC alone is not sufficient cover.

Road Bikes

If your cycling tour is several days long we suggest you pack at least 2-3 pairs of cycling pants and jerseys/tops. We highly advise when riding in Andalusia you bring: sunglasses, sun cream, after sun moisturiser and a white or light coloured cotton bandanna/scarf (to protect your neck from getting sunburnt).

If you burn easily, we also advise wearing long sleeved T-shirts/jerseys and full length cycling gloves for maximum sun protection. If your cycling during the winter months we also recommend that you bring waterproof cycling gear.
If you're going off road mountain biking, please bring your own Camelback.

Also all of our bikes have standard pedals, therefore you'll need to bring your own clipless pedals or you can rent a couple, but remember not forgetting your shoes! Finally don't forget your helmet also if you prefer to use your own! (we rent helmets for a small extra charge). In Spain bike helmets are compulsory, therefore all cyclists are expected to wear one.

Some clients prefer to use their own bike over a rental bike, especially if they're training for a race or are professional cyclists. Using your own bike on a cycling tour is quite easy to organise, as we take you AND your bike to Ronda. We prefer to be notified well in advance, in case their is a large group booking.

Prices for this transport service are on request.
Always check with your airline or travel agent first, as their conditions may vary when transporting boxed bikes. In some cases you can send your bike ahead of time, normally there is a fee involved, some may not charge, but there is a risk your bike might be delayed a day if there's limited space.

You'll need to:
1. organise a bike box or bag (from your local bike shop)
2. deflate the tyres a little
3. lower the saddle
4. turn in the handle bars and pedals
5. use pipe insulation (or similar) to protect the frame.
Note: the smaller the bike box, the more convenient it is to travel and it makes it easier for pick ups!

Cycleronda has it's own professional workshop where we repair and maintain all of our rental bikes. This workshop is not open to public. But we don’t have a bike shop.
Therefore we strongly recommend that you have your own bike serviced before you begin one of our cycling tours; as we don’t do services in our workshop. Remember to pack a rear derailleur hanger. For all major repairs or servicing Cyleronda has preferential servicing at one of the six bike shops in Ronda.

Unfortunately we're not a travel agent and therefore were not allowed to make accommodation bookings. Nevertheless we are pleased to help you with any enquiry you might have regarding accommodation. But remember it’s very personal what someone likes to book; apartment, hotel, rural house, Villa etc.
Ronda city’s website (www.turismoderonda.es) has a lot of informative information about accommodation in the Serrania de Ronda. Or see booking.com and airbnb.com.

We do luggage transfers in the area of Ronda, and up to a 50km radius from Ronda. If you require luggage transfers that are further away, it might get very expensive as we'll need to organise this with a local (taxi) driving service.
Ask your starting hotel in (Ronda) to store your luggage (and bike boxes) whilst you’re on tour, as we don’t offer this service.

This is an extra service we could offer (except in high season). Prices are on request and depend on distance and location.

Yes you can, but only if you've previously arranged this. We'll meet you at the airport when your flight arrives, and will return you for the connecting flight home with plenty of time. Most flights arrive late morning, but sometimes we may need to wait if there are other cyclists arriving shortly after your flight.
Note: As this service is done by a local taxi company, please pay them directly at drop off at your accommodation.

We are fairly flexible with your expected time of arrival at the Airport, if you need to be picked up. Please be aware that in the high cycling season we are very busy, and sometimes it’s not possible to do pick ups. Prices of pick ups will depend on the day, hour of arrival, and the number of people. Cycleronda can give a previous quote if you require.
Generally a one way transfer costs 120,00 euros up to four persons.

Malaga airport is the closest to Ronda, and is well serviced by most European countries and UK airports. It's also possible to fly into Sevilla or even Jerez de la Frontera, but unfortunately we normally don’t offer pick ups from these airports.

From Malaga Airport it takes about 1hr 20mins (and a little more from Sevilla and Jerez de la Frontera airports) to reach Ronda.
