Beautiful North Wales 😍
It would have been nicer if you were there also ♥️
Nice ride Pete! Well done. Loved the drone footage as usual! ❤👍
@@julie-wheelersatlarge Hi Julie, thanks for commenting. Hope you're doing ok x
Coll de Feminia is my first choice
It's a good climb. There is a sticker on the sign at the top which says 'Proper climb that'. It made me smile when I first saw it. I enjoy the descent more than the climb though there...the ride down is superb 🚴👍
Thanks Pete,good to see what I missed😢😢
You were both missed.
Excellent. The Michael Portillo of Cycling!
@@GrenKershaw You...or me?
Amazing view. im going there in september. did you come back from the same road or there is another way? cheers
@@Gledii Hi, thanks for commenting. The climb up towards the lighthouse from the start is one way up and one way down, but don't let that put you off. It's an iconic climb for a reason 👍. Are you staying nearby?
@@LivandTrekGoCycling yeah. i will be staying in Alcudia. i just asked because the route i found in komoot its a one way and i wanted to confirm as your descent looked very cool. i wasnt sure was back on the same route. thanks
@@GlediiStaying in the North of the island is good for all of the iconic climbs. The start of the Cap climb is not too far from Alcudia at all. The scenery is great along the route...you'll have a great ride 🚴👍
@@LivandTrekGoCycling yeah, IT seemed to me a good location and only 30km to the middle of the island to explore the climbs... Looking forward to IT :)

Let me know what tips you have for dealing with noisy disk brakes. Thanks 😊
It's expensive but, how many applications would you get from that wee tub?
Hi Kevin, thanks for commenting. Whilst the tub is a small 3 oz size...only a small amount of paste was needed to cover two rotors of one bike. I didn't need much at all so I'm fairly happy that you get at least 20 uses out of a tub..maybe a little more. As a home user and not a professional mechanic...I'd bet the tub contents would last for longer than I'd actually need it.
Glad you got it fixed. Just want to add that having had the same problem at times, cleaning the rotors like you did as a start. Second, remove the wheel and the pads and push both pistons out with pads in using a flat headed screwdriver. Put the pads back on. Put the wheel back on. slacken off the brake calliper, quite loose, a good 1.5 turns away from torque.. Clamp the brake lever and tighten equally both bolts whilst holding the brake lever. Let go of the brake lever. Clamp the brake lever, fully tighten to torque. Never failed me yet. Cheers.
@@chrismcgourty1756 Thanks for watching and for commenting and for the helpful suggestions also 🚴👍
That doesn't always guarantee that both pistons will travel the same distance- you may have one that is "stickier" than the other resulting in the caliper not being centred over the rotor. I worked in an outdoors centre with 60 bikes and the kids always dragged and glazed the pads, some bikes were so past it the calipers sometimes leaked and what I found was that contaminated pads- from oil, mist spray from aerosols(ie WD40-instructors trying to "help" by working on the bikes behind my back!!), mineral oil etc all went in the bin...the time and effort trying to save them wasn't worth it and rarely worked!!! With rotors you can always carefully apply a flame from a propane torch to the brake surface(don't discolour it!), this will burn off any impurities that the other methods don't fully resolve. FWIW- Personally I've never had squealing brakes on my bikes, and I stick with resin pads anyway!
So...resin pads have a benefit of reduced squealing then?
@@LivandTrekGoCycling Sintered ones are noisier, but take a while to heat up and are the strongest braking power (and you get a compound that's "semi metallic" (half'n'half) IIRC, the rotors may advise what pads you can use anyway- sintered etc generally on DH/MTB where brake fade would happen with resin pads under heavy use....Once bedded in and working remember to never touch the rotors with bare hands and watch for aerosol contamination!!
Oh..yes, I've learnt the hard way about touching rotors with bare skin. I even make sure I remove the rotor from the back wheel or cover it now when I put the chain through my parktool degreaser bath...so flying dirty oil doesn't land on the rotor. Once bitten...twice shy 😉
What do you think that stuff is? It looks like ceramic paste which is available in the automotive industry for squeaky brakes.
@@DirkSachse Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm not sure if it's a ceramic paste although I wouldn't be surprised if the principals behind how it works are similar to other automotive products. I know similar products exist but I've never tried them. I just know, even from watching other reviews on UA-cam...this stuff works 🚴👍
Mark and Darren are great guys and the cycling here is amazing nice video
@@stuartmulchinock9716 I agree, good people. Darren knows his stuff. Thanks for watching 🚴👍

@@hans-joachimhackbarth3003 Thanks for watching, hope you have a great time. Will you be doing this climb whilst there?
Love the drone footage at 5:00 so pretty. ❤️😍
Hi Julie, thanks for commenting. I'm enjoying flying it, I was a bit nervous when first using it...got to be careful with birds as they sometimes like to attack it but it's a great asset to have. How are you doing?
Flying it over water..... My heart would have been beating very fast.... 💓👍
Otro buen vídeo Pete. El viaje hasta el monasterio merece la pena. Cómo encontraste la bicicleta de alquiler esta vez? Noté que era freno de llanta. Oh yeah, and fancy going all that way, riding out for a good while and then meeting another Welshman!
Hola Duncan, gràcies per comentar. M'alegro que hagis gaudit del vídeo. La bicicleta de fre de llanda que es veu en aquest vídeo estava bé. Ho vaig llogar a la mateixa botiga. 🚴🇪🇦👍
Amazing Julie
@@leehitchen5438 Hi, thanks for commenting, although Im not sure who Julie is?
@LivandTrekGoCycling oooops sorry posted on wrong video It was meant for your mate Julie wheeler 🤣
Haha...no worries. I wish her nothing but the best currently 😇
Yes there are 2 ways up. The way you went up is the easier of the two. As you went up you passed a couple of fancy gate posts. This is where the other route comes out. The other route is steeper and plenty of hairpins. It is accessed from the back of Luc Major. N.B. I would recommend not going down it on a normal bike. It is steep in parts and sometimes has loose stones on it. If you go through the gate posts you will see a hermitage but I have never stopped and looked at it. Another monastery climb is "Santuario de Monti-Sion", near Porreres, so not much further than Randa. (no cafe though.) Muchas gracias for the video. Brings back good memories.
@@johnW-k8g Hi John, thanks for commenting. Thanks for the clarification about the other way and also the other monastery route/climb 🚴👍
So pleased you did this climb as I did it in April and didn’t get to see any views due to rain / mist 😂😂😂 so thanks for showing me what I missed out on
Ian, thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed it. Were you staying in the south also?
I stayed at soller which is a great little town and base with the brilliant hair pinned climb of col de soller and the port de soller. Would highly recommend if you’ve not been
I've been to port soller a couple of times. Had lunch there not so long ago when I did the Puig Major climb ...very pretty place 🚴👍
Go and have a ride up San Salvador, its the best monastery climb on the island (there are loads), its a way from Palmanova though.
Oliver, thanks for commenting. San Salvador has been on my 'ride list' for a few years. It's around a 83 mile round trip when I stay in the north...just haven't gotten round to it yet. I've been there once though many years ago as tourist on a bus trip. Have you ridden it yourself?
@@LivandTrekGoCycling Yes plenty of times. Its a bit steeper and a bit more spectacular.... and the cafe is cheaper. There are GPX files all over the internet for various rides connecting the monasteries in Mallorca, 100 miles ish generally. Its mostly quiet back lanes, pretty villages and then the short climbs up to the monasteries. They are a nice change of scene from the Tramuntana rides.
Next time I'm on the island and in the north...it'll be on my list 🇪🇦🚴👍
🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🤩
Hope you enjoyed it 🏴🚴👍
@@LivandTrekGoCycling Awesome 🤩 Loved the Climb to Randa 🙌🏻
I gave you top billing as well...by including your photo on the thumbnail....you're famous now 🚴🏴😆
You went the easyway
Thanks for commenting. It was still enjoyable 🚴👍
I’ve ridden that coast road and Galilea climb but I rode out from Alaro and went down to Andrax was beautiful… great video and lovely views always better in real life I think though .👍
Hi Graham, thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the video...you're quite right of course...a video is always a poor substitute for real life 🚴👍
Nice one you two. It didn't look nearly as busy around Palma as usual? We should've been in Majorca just now but hope to get back there later in the year. I think the heat really did get to Vicky and based on her behaviour probably should be committed 🤣A market on a ride..! C'mon...
Palma was it's usual, absolutely ram packed. That's why we only ever visit it by bike or bus 😃 Hey, don't knock a market on a bike ride 😉 There are always food trucks to fuel up and less 'death stares' if you're pushing a bike through it rather than cycling a bike through it 🤣 I ended up with severe Lymphoedema after cancer treatment. Extremes of heat or cold bother it and especially so with heat. It's the same with fibromyalgia but the cold is soooooo bad with fibro. I'm a 'not too hot and not too cold' kinda gal......like Goldilocks 🤣🤣 I can't push myself too hard, or I'll end up suffering for it. We had a fun day with cycling and gorgeous weather. Mid September through to late May is off peak for regular tourists but very much 'on peak' for cycling tourists 👍 It was a relaxing change to be a regular tourist. Much needed too after a stressful few months and with more surgery for me on the horizon. ⛱️
Absolutely stunning where u are,just a heads up that I got unsubscribed from your channel so I subscribed again no idea why that happened,good to see your mrs out with u,love the videos n I know it’s a way off yet but I do hope u do the Christmas countdown vids again I really enjoyed them,have a great time stay safe
Hi Tony, thanks for commenting, that's kind of you to say. I think you're the only person to have commented saying they enjoyed the Xmas videos. It's a shame they didn't get many views but we enjoyed doing them 👍🧑🎄
Glad you made it to the South some amazing riding here. The first part of your ride is my bike commute to work.
Oliver, thanks for commenting. I enjoyed this route 🚴👍
@@LivandTrekGoCycling next time you are in the south, take a trip to St Elm, it's a gorgeous spot and a lovely ride.
Oliver...Thank you for the suggestion, I'll make sure I do 🚴👍
Really enjoyed watching you do this one! That coast road is the best roads and views on the island in my opinion. I loved that route! ❤️👍🚴Brilliant fun. 😘
Hi Julie, thanks for commenting. I look forward to watching your videos when you're back there x 🚴💪
Bloody fantastic road Peter... And fantastic footage. All things being equal we will ride it again in October. 😁 Well done
Thanks Mike, am I right in thinking you both cycled that road but in the opposite direction to me when you rode with the FCC Legends?
We also noticed how happy you seemed on that ride Peter. Hopefully I’ll get to do something similar when we are in Peguera in October. Nice video.
Hi Duncan, thanks for commenting. I enjoyed being out on the bike and enjoyed that route...I'm glad that comes across in the video. You feeling better by the way?
@@LivandTrekGoCycling slowly improving thanks. I will get there. Cheers.
Just watched your latest video...yes...COVID appears to be on the rise. In fact Vicky is off for a COVID booster this morning 👍
@@LivandTrekGoCycling i only found out yesterday that one of my work colleagues had tested positive last week I think. And I missed my last booster because I was poorly at the time. Had plenty of patients in that have had it very recently too. This job of mine doesn’t do me any good in terms of my health sometimes I’m sure. 🤪
I'm always surprised I haven't contracted it whenever I get off a plane...such an enclosed place and people coughing and spluttering on board. Imagine...getting to Majorca ...and coming down with it...sure fire way to ruin your holiday😷🤧
It makes me happy to see you so happy on the bike;-))))
Hans...thank you for commenting. I'm happy that my happiness makes you happy...cycling is good and I find good for the soul. Do you cycle yourself?
@@LivandTrekGoCycling Of course;-))) ex-racer with a bike-shop in Germany with my own brand
Nice one. I did almost exact same route from same hotel in April although i didn't go as far as Valladmosa I turned near Espories towards Banyulfubar and then down to Port D'Andraxx etc. Cracking route and superb scenery on west coast although I had a front puncture on a descent which was hairy! I think as good if not better than up north as much quieter.
Hi Steve, thanks for commenting. Its a good route isn't it...that coast road regardless of whether you ride it up or down..is a pleasure to ride. Sorry to hear about your puncture especially on a descent. You came out unscathed?
Yes I was lucky as at speed downhill. I subsequently found it was a dodgy wheel on rental bike as I had 3 punctures in 3 days(!). After 3rd one I was fed up and shop changed wheel and all good although it was odd as nothing obvious that I could see neither could shop. Anyway, fortunately I didn't come off. One thing that came out of it though is having only 1 spare tube with a rental bike not sufficient so from now on when I go abroad I will take some ready patches with me as back up as if I'd had another puncture same day I'd have been stuck.
Blimey...you must have had someone smiling down on you from on high that day 😇. As for patches...they're a good idea, I try to carry a packet in my tool bottle. I'm fortunate in that I haven't a puncture on a rental bike. I think they tend to put hard wearing 'puncture resistant' tyres on rental bikes which I bet are a bugger to get off 🙄
Add electric motor.
Ha, true..I'd be faster up if I had one. Thanks for commenting 👍
How lovely. 👍🌞 Would have loved to have ridden with you. We were due to travel to mallorca next weds. 🥺 Not to be just yet. 🤞 Enjoy your holiday Vicky and Peter. 👍🚴🤗❤️
Thanks for commenting Julie. You'll get there x
Living the dream! Can't really believe it's less than 3 weeks ago I was there...June has been pathetic and here in the Scottish Highlands our heating is on... we booked to go to Applecross for Thursday-Monday and at sea level it's usually warmer, but to add insult to injury the weather is forecast worse over there and 4-5C cooler than where we are in the mountains....!! (I hope to do the Bealach Na Ba this time...same ascent/distance as Sa Calobra but very difficult gradient profile in comparison...got the 30/46 chainset and 11-36 cassette on...!)..... Did notice something on your videos and from my own experiences using the designated bike paths- next time I'm taking a bell to attach to the hire bike as so many of the "leisure" cyclists are in a world of their own just cruising along...! Enjoy the sun mate!
Hi Barry, thanks for commenting. The weather in the UK so far has been atrocious, the fact you've had your heating on in June says it all doesn't it! Hope you have a good time at Apple cross...ride safe 🚴👍
At least you managed to get a good 50 miles done. That first section was not the best though was it. Those cicadas were so loud! Almost sounded like a loud freehub behind you. And do you see the guy towards the end pushing his luggage along on a trolley from the airport? Thought it was a wheelchair at first. And how was the coffee/cake stop with the Guvenor?
Hi Dunc...thanks for commenting. The coffee stop with the governor was much needed. I had to watch the video again to find the guy pushing his luggage..bugger was doing it along the cycle patch in Palma.. sacrilege! 😆
@@LivandTrekGoCycling I /we had to watch that bit a few times too. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
Thanks. Last day today, spending it off bike on the beach..flight home tomorrow 🚴👍
Hrll,im sold thank you
@juliiekay3662 Hi, thanks for commenting. It's a nice hotel, even if you're not a cyclist...it's an even nicer hotel when you are. Are you a cyclist? 🚴
Could have done the climb before you finished watching these tips 😅
Hi Karl, thanks for commenting. I'm assuming you've done the climb and done it faster than 43 mins...which is the video length?
Cool! I was there in April. Really good hotel and we thought the food was best we'd ever had from a hotel. Only issue I found was gym pretty rubbish, the rack was too wide for the bar so had to remove bar to put weights on. A minor niggle as I cycled for 5 days out of 7 anyway so only used gym once. Quick tip, supermarket just across the road is cash only. I hired my bike from Whynotcycling which is about 2 miles away and found them very good. I stored bike in the luggage room and wasn't an issue at all. I found cycling in area was good, I headed up to Puigpuyant and Banyulafar, Galilea etc and typical good Mallorcan roads and pretty quiet. Better in a way than up north as far less cyclists. One point, the hotel is actually called the Fergus Palmanova. The Fergus Tobago is the one down the road near the Whynotcycling shop.
Hi Steve...thanks for commenting. I agree about the food. Good to hear you had a great time cycling here. I also agree there are less cyclists down here than the North. However...I'm quite happy that the hotel I'm staying in is the Tobago 😉
@@LivandTrekGoCycling Ha! Apologies you are right. We stayed at that which is indeed the Tobago but my confusion was we were going to stay at Palmanova one but changed. Anyway, we loved it and agree on staff they were excellent. Hope the pool had warmed up as when we were there it was freezing. The sea was warmer.
Great video, really enjoyed it thanks. Went to Majorca at the end of April on the back of watching some of your videos so thanks again. Would love to try some of the lost lanes rides for lincolnshire
Hi Ian, thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you had a good time 🚴 in Majorca. 😎👍
Another great interview Pete. I'm not a football follower at all, so haven't watched the program you mention. Maybe I will look it up. I'm sure you will be at the 500 subs mark in no time at all. Pretty sure I have cycled along that bit of coastal cycle path you showed at the end after the cafe, recognised it from a ride years ago we did.
Hi Dunc..thanks for commenting 👍
@@LivandTrekGoCycling no worries.
I plan on going to Mallorca in October. How should I train for this ride?
Hi William, thanks for commenting. That's a good question and I suppose much of it depends on your current level of fitness. It's a difficult question to answer but I suppose the simplest answer I can give is this....I wasn't quick up the climb, taking about 60mins to do it from the bottom to the top. As such...I would try and increase your fitness as much as possible but find a local hill which has an gradient of 6-8 percent and ride it...for 60 mins.
