The tour was an incredible experience from start to finish. They prepare you very well for this trip. They are extremely attentive to all questions before the trip begins. The booking process was simple and they helped with hotel upgrades and accommodated my wife who was not cycling. Having the cafe and bike shop in a central location in Girona was perfect. The bikes were great. The food, drinks and camaraderie at the Cafe were a nice bonus. From the moment we met the team they made us feel welcome, safe, and fully supported. The guides were kind, friendly, funny, and encouraged us to seek new heights (literally) on the bike. They were all perfect gentlemen to my wife and made her feel included on the trip despite her not cycling with us. They were all so attentive to everyone's needs during the trip whether they be dietary or road safety or anything in between. Josep, Chris, Zippy, and Chris were class act guys, incredible cyclists and just a blast to be around. Lunch set ups during our rides were superb - ice cold drinks, nourishing, delicious and healthy food. Coffee stops were thoughtful and a nice bonus. They put on fantastic meal spreads at the most scenic spots when our tanks were empty and ready to be refilled. Ride support before and during the rides was exceptional. The hotel we stayed at (Nord - an upgrade) was a lovely spot in town with excellent breakfasts, small soaking pool, bike storage, friendly english speaking staff and clean comfortable rooms. Lastly each night we were guided to a different restaurant with the team and our whole group. Many of us became friends and still communicate on Strava now. The restaurant selections were wonderful as each restaurant was different than the other in terms of cuisine, ambience, and level of formality - it was honestly a great mix and high quality food which was important given that it was included in the package. A nice perk during the trip was that a media team traveled with us for video and photos to help with their promotion. They were a nice crew and made us feel like superstars. In summary I cannot say enough about this company and about their people - this trip was incredible. The value was excellent also. My friend and our wives who accompanied us reminisce about this trip often. I recommend them to everyone now . . . and we are planning our next trip with them already for next year. Thank you so much!

Itinerary

Day 1

Welcome to Mallorca! Meet at your first hotel in Pollença at 12:00 (noon). Warm muscles function better than those pushed into tough efforts right away, so today's ride has two goals: loosen your legs out for the week ahead and make sure your bike is dialed in. Today’s ride is an out-and-back 41 km coastal spin to the lighthouse at Cap Formentor.

Day 2

Ride west from Pollença into the Tramuntana mountain range. Enjoy a gentle warm-up along scenic lanes to Campanet. The climbing starts at km 34. Enjoy a steady 10 km climb to 600 m and the heart of the Tramuntana mountains. Descend to the Port of Sa Calobra at 54 km - the only way out is a boat, or a 10 km climb back the way you came! A picnic lunch is your reward at the top before descending home.

Day 3

Start the day with a long, steady climb west into the mountains. After 27 km of climbing pause for coffee in Lluc and take some time to visit the monastery. At 40 km pause for a picnic lunch overlooking the Panta de Gorg Blau. Enjoy a 15 km descent before the final, short climb of the day to our idyllic hotel overlooking the coast.

Day 4

Today’s ride is one of the highlights of the week. Head north along the coast and turn inland to the switchbacks of Soller & 9 km of beautiful winding road. Descend to the village of Bunyola and start the second ascent of the day to the picturesque village of Orient (7 km, 5.5% average) Pause for lunch in the village at a local bar. Next comes a fabulous, fast descent and some welcome flat km. All too soon it’s time to climb again, this time to Valldemossa (6 km at a steady 5%). Finish the day with the Mediterranean on your left for the final km back to the hotel.

Day 5

Enjoy a gorgeous ride around the west coast of the island and rack up some serious climbing along truly spectacular roads. The climbing finishes after 75 km just after the village of Puigpunyent. Enjoy a glorious descent into wine-making country & pretty, flat lanes to our resting place in the market town of Sineu.

Day 6

Explore an entirely different side of Mallorca on today’s ride which takes in the lanes & landscapes in the east of the island. Ride east from the hotel towards the coast. Ride through Santa Margalida & on to Arta, where the main climb of the day begins. 6 km at 4% takes you to breathtaking views of the coast and the Ermita de Betlem. Cruise home through traditional villages and make sure you save some energy for some celebratory laps on the Sineu Velodrome.

Day 7

Sadly, it is time to say goodbye! Let us know if we need to organise transfers for you.
