Mountains and uphills
Coast
Oludeniz is in the south-west of Turkey's Turquoise Coast (the name comes from the large number of bays with turquoise water). Our routes will often pass through beautiful beaches. Bathing in October is very comfortable: water temperature ~ 24°.
Oludeniz
We will be staying in the town of Oludeniz at the foot of Mount Babadag. Nearby is the famous Butterfly Valley, a small very picturesque canyon facing the sea. One of the most beautiful roads along the sea leads to it.
Babadag
The finale of our camp will be an epic climb up Mount Babadag. We will climb up to 1900m in just 17km of trekking. It will not be an easy way, but everyone will be able to overcome it. From the height from under the clouds we will have a fantastic view.

HOW IT WAS?
This video well captures the atmosphere of the Hedonism Cycling camp. The camp took place in the mountainous village of Oludeniz (Turkey) in February - March 2021.
HOW IT WORKS?
Hedonism Cycling camp— is an opportunity to live and ride in different beautiful places. This is not a training camp, there is no rigid schedule, freedom of desires and actions, self-expression, and creativity are welcome. At the camp, you can participate in races, come up with your own route, or just relax.
Hedonism
The complexity and length of the rides depends on the location of the camp. On average, we drive 50-100 km per day with a 500-1500 m of elevation gain. There are one or two ride leaders in the camp who lead the groups. The groups are divided by level, so everyone will be comfortable. The camps have a technical car and our mechanic, and the Hedonism-team will always provide friendly and technical support.
Our main goal is to gather friends and like-minded people who can share something with each other. It will be great if you can and want, for example, to hold a yoga class, show your favorite movie, cook a dinner,
or teach others something. Be sure to reveal your talents, we like and support them.

For convenience, we typically ask that on the day of arrival, a communal fund be organized for each villa to cover the cost of groceries, drinks, and general supplies, or we suggest tracking expenses using the special app. Each participant is free to choose whether to eat only home-cooked meals or to order from cafes and restaurants if they wish

In fact, you can stay at the camp for any number of days and the cost of participation will not change. You will also miss out on some of the new routes, and each of them is beautiful in its own way, so think twice if you want to go for a shorter period of time. You can come to camp for more shifts if you wish. If you're interested, contact us and we'll tell you all about the possibilities!
It's definitely worth taking a helmet, spare cameras, a repair kit and chain lube with you. Also take a front and rear light, because rides may end after sunset.
We recommend taking out insurance to cover active sports. Please take your health seriously and make sure you take out insurance before arriving at the camp.
When it comes to cycling clothing, you should bring as wide a range of clothing as possible, both lightweight and insulated. The weather is changeable and temperatures can vary a lot during the day. Take care of your safety and make sure you come to camp with a helmet!!!! You'll be more comfortable in cycling shoes on mountain trails than without. Think about it.
