Did the Cap de Formentor end of July last summer from Port de Pollenca. Started at dawn to beat the heat, amazing at that time of day before the traffic and catching sunrise, it was a perfect ride.
Drone footage?! Sick! Plus no chest cam! Whole ride done holding it?! Insane. Let me just descend at 70kph, overtaking cars while holding this stick! You're dedicated to your art, Thomas. 👏
@@TheCyclingTattooist it paid off, Thomas. It works for the benefit of the viewer, that's for sure. No idea how it works for you cycling, but you never appear to be fazed by any of it. Loved the vid and the footage. Those cars would've cheesed me off! So annoying on a descent!
8:09 - Last year in September the route to the lighthouse was closed to the cars, there was a shuttle bus from the parking lot to the top. It was much nicer cycling experience!
That's all I need, just come back and unpacked and then catch up with your channel and you are in MALLORCA 😥😥🤣 good call on the villa as prices going silly for stay in Port Pollensa and your location looked great.
Jeez I’ve never seen so much traffic on that lighthouse road before. 😮. 20 years ago you might see a dozen cars in total on that trip. The tunnel was unlit and you had to just aim for the dot of light at the end of the tunnel whilst riding in pitch black 😂 Still, it’s a stunning ride.
been back a week after 10 days there . cant wait to go again . did the fanenia and down passed the garage on day 2 (easter sunday) it was rammed . not safe at all . car coming head on around bends overtaking . glad to get down . some of the group i was with did the lighthouse the day before and said the same . went last october and it was much quieter and warmer too . will avoid easter in the future .
Yes it definitely was busy… I went last May and it was a lot quieter! But as I said, I’m not going to complain… around my area it’s busy and the weather is shit! So I’ll take Mallorca any time…
I recently went in April 2023. The rough weather closed the roads for repair for a while, but you could get in at around 4pm. As the roads were generally closed, combined with the low tourist season, it was wonderfully quiet! If you’re still there, please try Basico Gastrobar or Steakhouse in old Alcudia!
I’ve just done spring classic sportive in derby ! Makes my ride look dull wet and boring ! I mean it was !! but this vid makes it even worse ! Looks epic . Plus another awesome vid .
@@TheCyclingTattooist will have to be v early. Partly because it's a family holiday not just a cycling jolly but also because it'll be very hot. You ever make it to British Majorca? (Isle of Man)
Brilliant! Just got back 2 weeks ago, absolutely amazing cycling. I'm still buzzing. I was only there for a week but managed to cycle all of the significant climbs around the North. Can't wait to go back. Enjoy!
We set off at 5.30am when we did this in April, great time to go and no traffic. The light house was closed last year, love Mallorca having a change next year and trying Girona
Superb video Thomas, you inspired me to visit Mallorca in a previous video of yours, I went on my own in March for a week and it was amazing, I'm sure many more will be inspired to go after this video. Thanks for making ur videos really enjoy them 🚴♂️😎👍
Great video, but the climb to the light house with all those cars what pain , that would put me off going. I would have to go up there at a really early morning to miss those sad car drivers.
What camera setup did you use? Great footage! We were on Cap Formentor a month or two ago before they did the road! Looks perfect now, can’t wait to go back!
Thank you… but I just couldn’t bring myself to ride a mtb haha! I’m a bmx’er first and foremost… and I don’t really get enough time to ride that as much as I’d like anymore, let alone taking up another discipline. 🤣🙈
Looks like some good times!!! What's the go with your camera strap?? looks like youve got an extra strap to stop it falling down is that just custom or did you buy it like that? just started bringing my caera around and its a bit of a pain cause it tiwsts around, any tips?
What about going there 1st half of May? Is it going to be many tourists and cars everywhere? Is end of April more preferable? Also, any details of the villa?
@@TheCyclingTattooist it’s a different world in the early morning. I descended Sa Colabra and climbed half way back up before I saw another person. And that was only at 7:30am
maad jealous, sweet tooth cyclist! looking at doing the B&B in Soller if work ever slows down. Any of your crew ever go to cannabis clubs or hear of them on the island?
I generally touch on any upgrades as I go along… doesn’t really warrant a dedicated video. Plus maybe, just maybe… there might be a new bike day on the horizon! 🤪
Awesome, absolutely awesome! :-D I was actually there last week as well, and unfortunately i had to cut the vacation short, so i didn't get to see the lighthouse... But you guys should go to a city near Can Picafort called Betlem and go up the gravel/MTB path, it's gonna be an amazing experience! Let me know if you are in need of housing options in Mallorca, of course rental, i don't know how often you are planning to go P I M P?:-D
All your mates on rental bikes ?? All look out of sorts and too stretched out ?! …. Going to Mallorca in August - family holiday, but tempted to hire a bike for a few days - just wondering if it’ll be too hot 😢😢
Just way too busy. It's like a theme park for cyclists. There are many places way better on the Spanish mainland that have almost no cars and almost no foreign cyclists. I don't understand why people keep going back. See Mallorca once, tick the box and move on.
I think if you go at the right time of year (when it’s not as busy) it’s an incredible place… there’s no doubting it. And some people myself included actually enjoy going somewhere to ride with a lot of other cyclists. In my area there is little to no cycling scene, so seeing everyone out in droves is exciting to me… I appreciate there is other great places, that are quieter and I’ve witnessed some of them myself… but you can’t say that Mallorca isn’t great! I’ll be going back again for sure… 😁👍
@@TheCyclingTattooist Compared to the UK and Northern Europe, Mallorca is a paradise that all cyclists should visit once. However note the lack of cyclists from mainland Spain who visit Mallorca tells you all you need to know. Try the Sierra Nevada mountains of Granada once and you will never go back to Mallorca, unless you want to be surrounded by people from home 😉
@@pollythedog4914 yeah I get what you’re saying… and I’ve ridden nice quiet places exactly like what you speak of and I like that too! I like it all… I saw Mark Cavendish riding on the roads of Mallorca whilst I was there… and well, if it’s good enough for him, it’s good enough for me… 🤣👍
@@TheCyclingTattooist it's pandemonium today from what I hear from my ex colleagues...People forced to get out of bed at 6am to find quiet roads. It's supposed to be a holiday! I worked there and gave it up. Hopefully see you in this neck of the woods. Regular sights on the roads here are Sagan, Bardet and Spanish Champion Carlos Rodriguez with AG2R, Trek, Caja Rural, BH Burgos all doing camps and altitude training. Great for them but kills any hope of me getting a KOM. Luckily there are not enough hotels here to accommodate the numbers necessary to clog the roads. You should come and make a video here.
Thank you .. proves people can change for the good
Your best cinematography to-date 🚴
Wonderful and loving that place mate. Thanks for sharing yeewwww
Very pleasant contents！Love them！👍

Awesome vid, thanks! Made me want to visit Majorca. BTW… I heard about you on the Nero Podcast with Chris Miller.
Nothing like watching the CT for inspiration while on a 90km ride….
😁🙏🙏🙏
11:37 I like that Cannondale coming, clean frame, colour and look

Wow love your cycling videos always onit ..😀👍💪🏿
Man I stay watching your videos. I even sing the song when I'm cycling... 🤣 Motivational! Lol
thanks man! great ride, great views

Great vid. Looks beautiful but....can't believe how busy the road was to the Lighthouse. :(.
great vid thomas look forward to the next ones from Mallorca
I get the feeling you like it there Thomas? 😂 Great video again 👏
Loved the tunnel bit with the new camera Thomas 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes! The light shadow made me trip my nuts off!
Thank you… I liked that bit. Thought it had a computer game esque kinda vibe to it… 😁👍

What a gem! Love to start my Sunday like this. Thank you so much! Can't wait to be back on the island. Cycling paradise!
Amazing Video Tom, watched it a few times now!
Thank you!!! 😁🙏🙏🙏
Made me suitably jealous, another cracking video mate. 😊
Thank you!
Great Vid again Thomas. Hoping to experiencing "Yorca" some time soon myself. Looking forward to the next vid....Sa Calobra?????
Cracking trip m8, the clip through the tunnel looked pretty cool with the 360.
Iam jealous Tom I've got to try majorca out looks awsome, have a top time fella
Oh it’s great… just try go when it’s a little less busy! 😁🙌
the editing in this vlog is next level!
🙌🏼🙌🏼 so glad I’ve come across your channel:) want to try a sportive and one day fly out here
Thomas, or anyone reading, what's the camera strap you are using to carry your camera on your back while riding. Thanks in advance
Epic. Thanks mate. Have my first Majorca trip coming up and will be starting with Formentor.
Good choice… just head there early (unlike us) to avoid the crowds and traffic… enjoy! 😁👍

The out front 360 cam footage was absolute fire.
Another great video. Jealous of the sun. Where do you get your white socks? They really make the kit👌
Believe that

Oh it’s 100% worth a trip… it’s a pretty incredible place!
Awesome stuff!
your new camera has taken you to the next level fella! some of the scenes flying down hill are truly pro level now great work!!
Thank you! 😁🙏

Think you should be sponsored by Majorca, can't wait to get back there 👍😁
Hahaha I’ll happily take the sponsorship 🤣👍
Wicked!!!!
Great video, but the climb to the light house with all those cars what pain , that would put me off going. I would have to go up there at a really early morning to miss those sad car drivers.
Yes I would definitely recommend going earlier… probably around 8/9am would be perfect!
@The Cycling Tattooist
That's great to know thanks
Ian.
Awesome
Weather looks so nice, especially Vs the UK right now 😂
Hi, what camera strap was you using on trip please, great content has always ? 👊🏾💯
Special place indeed....
Not jealous at all….. 👌
🤣👍
Gave you a sub for this. Quality content. Cheers.
Thank you! 😁🙏

What camera's are you using?
Love it.. kudos from 🇩🇰
🙏🙏🙏
Nice descending Tom I think you should try some downhill mountain biking.
Thank you… but I just couldn’t bring myself to ride a mtb haha! I’m a bmx’er first and foremost… and I don’t really get enough time to ride that as much as I’d like anymore, let alone taking up another discipline. 🤣🙈

Serious content quality every time, well deserving of more subs! Question… you still using the whoop?
Thank you… and no I haven’t for a while! I use a Garmin watch now…
Looks like some good times!!! What's the go with your camera strap?? looks like youve got an extra strap to stop it falling down is that just custom or did you buy it like that? just started bringing my caera around and its a bit of a pain cause it tiwsts around, any tips?
which camera rope do you use ...?
The best place to cycling IN THE WORLD
It’s definitely up there..! 😁🙌
Beautiful
What’s the cross body strap attached to the Peak Design strap please??
Echoing he comments re: the 360 footage, quality stuff!
Great video as always! May I ask what camera strap are you using ?
Love the camera strap setup - it looks like a Peak strap but what's the accessory strap that wraps under your left armpit??
Que tal amigo!!! Me encantan tus vídeos...
Donde as comprado los calcetines blancos?
What about going there 1st half of May? Is it going to be many tourists and cars everywhere? Is end of April more preferable?
Also, any details of the villa?
amazing footage. I'm planing to be there in May. Curious, what camera do you use?
Great videos keep em coming , what's a place like that cost?
It was actually pretty reasonable once you split the costs… about £300 each for 5 days.
@@TheCyclingTattooist bostin that!
@@TheCyclingTattooist bargain
What's the name of the villa you are staying in? Loving the videos.
Nice video 👍. Where do you keep your drone whilst riding?
I don’t… I filmed the drone stuff on another day! 😁👍
@@TheCyclingTattooist - thought so…. Good work 👍👍
Did Formentor a couple of times last week and didn’t see another person. Just leave early.
Exactly! I went back again days later… earlier that time and it was dead…

I’m just holding it on a selfie stick… all the mounts they do are rubbish and snap too easily! 👍
@@TheCyclingTattooist Oh I see! Yeah! I do agree that 😅 Thanks! 😊
Are you there for the 312?
Could we see an updated bike check of yours at some point? I'm aware you've made some changes to it
I generally touch on any upgrades as I go along… doesn’t really warrant a dedicated video.
Plus maybe, just maybe… there might be a new bike day on the horizon! 🤪
Nice climb but so busy with cars
Yes it’s one to get up early for… around 8am up there would be perfect!
What cam do you use for filming on the bike?
I had 3 different cameras on me that day… 🤣🙈
So you needed a base layer then?
What is this POC helmet model?
It’s the ventral air spin! 😁🙌
