Day One: Arrival / Lighthouse Warm Up
Our mechanic is at the hotel to help build bikes and to fit rentals. For those who want a warm-up ride, we head to the famous lighthouse for a coffee. In the evening we have our welcome meal at 7.30 where our guides will talk through the week.
Day Two: Petra or Randa
Every day we have two route choices in the same area of the island. Today is all about getting our legs ready for the week ahead and is a flat day exploring the beautiful middle of Mallorca. The shorter option is a flat 90km to Sineu and Petra and the longer option is 127km going down to Randa with one climb, the stunning Puig Randa with views across the entire island.
Day Three: Into the Hills
Into the mountains for the first time. The long ride is 124km going over two climbs including the beautiful Col d’Honor. The shorter ride takes in one climb in a classic 80km loop from Pollensa.
Day Four: Sa Calobra
Both groups do the same route today just at different speeds. The ride centres on the toughest climb on the island: Sa Calobra. We leave a bit earlier than normal and ride to Selva before going up past Lluc to the top of Sa Calobra before the road gets busy with traffic. After a thrilling descent, it’s a big effort back up and then a lovely descent home.
Day Five: Hermitage
An easier day sandwiched between three big rides. We ride all together at a relaxed pace along the coast and then take on one easy climb up to the hermitage at Betlem before spinning home – the front group taking the longer inland route. Then a nice relaxed afternoon by the pool or beach before the big ride tomorrow.
Day Six: End of Week Sportive: Andratx to Port d'Alcudia
See end of week sportive below. After the ride, our mechanics are on hand to pack bike boxes and then we go into Port de Pollensa for drinks after dinner. The Queen Stage. One of the world's best one-day rides following the Ma-10 from Andratx to Port d'Alcudia along the coast and over four climbs. We leave the hotel at 8 am and get a transfer down to the start. We have feed stations set up along the way and our guides will set a relaxed pace to make this day perfect.
Day Seven: Departure Day
In the morning, check out of the hotel and make your arrangements to depart today.
