Never a dull moment that’s for sure! March was the usual build up into the crazy busy months of April and May, then we had a steady stream of arrivals and departures with the odd quiet day to grab a rest day! Not much typing from me and a distinct […]
Let’s not look back on the weather we had here in Mallorca last year…it was so bad it’s probably best forgotten about and put in that small box at the back of the garage along with the out of date gels and the “bargains “ you got online …….. Anyway, […]
The Tour Down Under Trip – January 2019 There are many options for the route to Adelaide, personally I took the Birmingham Airport to the Dubai Hub and then onwards to Adelaide with only a couple of hours wait for the connection in the Emirates Hub. On arriving in Adelaide, […]
So its Summertime and it’s hot, some days very hot! However with a bit of planning and discipline, it’s still possible to fit in some great rides, conquer the challenges and not melt! The biggest factor is the start time, so getting away by 8am latest for a shorter ride […]
Have you wanted to ride up the climb out of Sa Calobra that you hear all about or one of the other famous climbs on the island? If what’s stopping you is the unknown of the severity, or maybe it’s what do you do if you have too many punctures […]

Mountains, mountains and more mountains this week! This was a really fun filled week with a small group of riders but all of different abilities and with different requirements from the week. Lawrence was first to arrive and he wanted lots of km’s and m’s of altitude. So day 1, […]
Mallorca 312 Tour week. The following weekend was the Mallorca 312, so this week was about a balance of efforts but not to be too tired before the big day on Saturday. We started the week with an undulating route of heading along the coast to Arta, taking in the […]
This was an awesome day, not just in terms of riding the bike and ticking off a challenge but so much fun and a day that encompassed so much about why cycling in Mallorca is so popular! I’m not going to duplicate too much of what I have already said […]
Mickey Cranks week! This was going to be fun before it even started, with the return of a fantastic group from near Oxford in the UK. The group has a mixture of social, sportive and racing riders, so we needed to cater for their diversity. On Saturday, as riders were […]
Impressive achievements sums up this weeks Tour! We had a mixture of ages, abilities, experiences and nationalities this week and everyday was quite different.
