- First day in Mallorca and i went along to join a Rapha group ride. They ended up cancelling the ride due to high winds so i got to work and grabbed a route online from Komoot.

I always love the mountain routes and especially the north coast mountain routes. Let me know if youve been to Mallorca or if youd like to go. Ive left some info in here about ways to make it happen.

I was there a few weeks ago, end of September. Funny enough - I rented same Pinarello, on Ultegra and rim brakes (7 days rental, 199 Eur). But I didn't hate it, actually I quite liked it. And these Ultegra rim brakes weren't terrible. At home I ride SL7 but I didn't dare to ship it overseas - shipping cost is one thing but all hassle with preparations, risk of damage etc. Another point is that with rented bike you have always a chance to call for technical support in case of issues. With regards to the route - I stayed in Palmanova so my very first trip was almost exactly same as yours in this video. And very quickly I realised that I should have ridden it the other way around (i.e. anti-clock wise): the views are WAY better when you're closer to the seaside. Also descents from Valdemossa and Banyalbufar are breathtaking - but when you ride them from east to west. Two days later I took almost same loop in the "correct" direction and it was pure bless. Great video, see you next year in Mallorca 😉😉
Enjoyed the video, cheers!
Awesome, thanks Joe
Know what you mean about bike rental now. Its gone up a lot recently and you don't always get what you expect either. Had that experience in Calpe last year, so this year I'm deffo going to take my own bike this December. Like I always did years ago.
You'll never regret taking your own bike, theres always a chance youll regret it if you dont
Beautiful views and beautiful road..👏
Great day and almost happy we got to do the coast route instead
Mallorca local here - fyi it’s pronounced Andratch. Not Andrax. And Soyer, not Soller.
Than you man, will adjust for tomorrows ride
😂
Nice,heading over to Mallorca tomorrow from Oslo for Rapha escape, bringing my own bike, is there a special belt at the airport in Palma for bikebags?
Yes sir- it’s a long hall of baggage belts. The bike boxes will ALWAYS be right down the end (this depends which end you enter the hall- so if you get in the hall and don’t see a sign for bikes, go all the way to the other end). 👌🏻
Enjoy the trip
Forget Komoot. Make your own with EasyRoute and upload to your head unit.
When you make your own sometimes its hard to know which roads have good surfaces or are suitable for bikes. Otherwise its easy enough to jump on komoot, all trails, strava or any app and ping it over. Usually locals make routes on Komoot and this one was shared by the Rapha account on Komoot
Good idea to quit while you're ahead. 😀
Going to Mallorca in May for the third time. 🚴♂
