    Top tip which we found really useful: I had the above pre-plotted routes (from RidewithGPS) on my Wahoo, but at times Dave looked on MapMyRide and found some routes planned by other users which enabled us to find lots of quieter roads, so we followed those for a while on some of the rides.

    Beautiful bike paths with the coastline, architecture, I think I saw some olive trees there, an important beer stop, through towns, mountains in the distance, a cafe stop, a dip into the sea, another cafe stop - a needed coffee?, up into the mountains (now I see why you stopped for the coffee) and the long zigzag descent. Now, I need a beer. I really enjoyed this. A great ride. I have been all over Spain but not yet Mallorca. I of course now have to do that.

      Thank you! I would never have thought to visit until I heard about SA Calobra. And yes, there were olive trees everywhere, and of course a lovely temperature during October. It’s a lovely island

    What a beautiful country! It looks so warm and yet green and lush! Loved the views from your bike, especially at 7:58. My goodness, those rock formations and cliffs in the back were just stunning. I'm also in love with the architecture there!!. It looks like you had the most amazing time, I surely enjoyed watching this adventure!!

    Lovely routes, and great weather - No rain or midges, only mosquitoes 🦟. Good advice given, for preparing to hire a bike, especially bringing your own saddle 👍. Hope you’re knee is feeling fine now. Enjoyed the video, thanks. 😁

      Hullo Mick, and thanks 😀 I’d take the Scottish midge over a mosquito 🦟😥 Yeah, the saddle was awful, not the first time that’s happened, agonising after a few days! You’d have loved the fish… I saw loads of stuff, the best was a big flatfish 😃 It’s another world under the water

    What shop did you hire the bikes from and how much did they charge p/d??

    • @FIVE-FOOTLyth
      @FIVE-FOOTLyth  Рік тому +1

      Hello Marius, and thanks for visiting. We used Max Huerzeler Rentals in Palma, but they are represented all over the island. They seem to be using Cube bicycles exclusively, and we paid around 25 euros per day, per person. Carbon frames but the bikes felt heavy, so satisfaction depends upon what you are used to riding. My bike is around 7.5kgs. Friendly service but we had to fit ourselves to the bikes when we picked them up. Hope this helps? Best Wishes, Sue
