| Route detail |
This 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 experience. The Ride covers over 360km (225 mls) over undulating terrain with just a few good climbs particularly on day 2 and 3. There will also be plenty of time for non cycling activities in the evenings and occasionally during the day.
DAY 1 - Airport to Alcudia Distance 62kms (39miles)
After bike fitting we cycle out of the Airport and along the coast before heading north towards Sa Casa Blanca. Here we head East across the centre of the island on one of the quiet designated cycle routes and into Sineu (33kms).
From Sineu we head North on more pretty quiet roads through Liubi and Sa Pobla before picking up the main road into Alcudia (62kms.), The Alcudia Appartments will be our home for the duration of our stay.
Day 2 - Alcudia – Formentor plus mountain or coast and cave options. Distance (mountain) 110km (68mls) or (coast and cave) up to 100km (62mls)
A challenging day with two options: From Alcudia we all follow the coast to the popular resort of Port de Pollenca after which there are two exhilarating climbs along the magnificent Formentor Peninsular to the lighthouse at the very north eastern tip of the island. We return towards Port de Pollensa helped by a short but lovely boat transfer.
After lunch the more adventurous have the option of a circular route into the mountains with a great climb along the start of the famous corniche road towards Soller, up to the Monastery of Lluc close to 2000ft above the sea. For the majority of us we will cycle to Cala San Vicenc to take in the sun on the most beautiful tiny bay famous for the colourful hills around - and the sangria! After, if there is time an excursion at the foot of the mountains to the Caves of Campanet before returning to our apartments.
In the evening we will eat in Alcudia old town and have an opportunity to explore the night life.
DAY 3 - Alcudia-Soller -Alcudia Distance 107kms. (67miles)
The most challenging day of our stay. We leave Alcudia early travelling inland along flat terrain through Inca and on to Alaro (33kms). Here things change as we head up and over the Puig d'Alaro and drop into Bunyola. From here we turn right over the “hill” and down into Soller for lunch (59kms).
Fortified by a good lunch we head out of Soller and start to climb the Puig Major, (Mallorcas highest peak, no cycle trip to the island is complete without it) regrouping at the summit 9 kilometres later. From here its plain sailing down the other side, turn left at Es Guix (77kms) and follow the road back through Pollensa (95kms) and on to Alcudia (107kms.).
DAY 4 - Alcudia to Airport Distance 80kms. (50miles)
We follow the coast Southeastwards from Alcudia before turning inland after about 20 kms. Through the small town of Retra and on to Randa for lunch (56kms).
Afterwards we head South through Llucmajor and on to the Airport. |
