In Brief

 

This glorious 5 day on-road Ride explores a wide variety of landscapes on the island of Mallorca and is designed to cater for cyclists of varying but reasonable experience. The Ride covers over 320km (200mls) of undulating terrain with a few good climbs particularly on day 4. There will also be plenty of time for non cycling activities in the evenings and occasionally during the day. 

 

Mallorca is as little as 135 minutes away from the UK by air and the cheap airlines have made this destination remarkably accessible especially in the Spring when the weather is warm and sunny and makes for perfect cycling.

 

Although the island is quite large 60 mls long , 40 miles wide, in 5 days it is possible to explore most of the island by bike.

 

Not for us is the SW coastal strip which has made Mallorca so infamous. Our ride concentrates on some of the more remote and relatively unexplored parts.

 

The island has a remarkable contrast of sceneries in such a small area –from the mountains cliff coastline of the North to the softer pretty coast of the South and East and a delightful rolling hills interior scattered with small towns and villages which have remained untouched for years and almost totally unaffected by tourism.
