I've ridden in Italy and France but for me Mallorca was by far the best for road riding. It feels unfair to earmark specific roads. I loved them all. But Col de Soller and Sa Calobra were my favorites. Sa Calobra and Cap Formentor on new years day was pretty special. We were based in Soller to be "close" to Sa calobra. Went to Pollenca. What a beautiful place Mallorca is. To anyone considering a road cycling holiday. Mallorca is off the rails good. Please keep the pics coming. Edited June 10, 2019 by Duane_Bosch nonky 1

Darko Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Been meaning to check those trails out for a while, what are they like? I've been slowly ramping up my distance, and I found this quite challenging. I'm most definitely still a beginner. It was quite warm already - we got there a bit later than planned. The descents were quite technical and full of loose rocks / gavel and quite a few spots had rocks that stuck out that were quite sharp and required some good maneuvering. I came off once at a low speed. The front washed out as I wanted to turn and power up a hill. You can get up to 32km I think if you do another little section which seemed super technical, so I avoided that one. I enjoyed it. Would do it earlier in the morning before the sun gets crazy, and perhaps I could do a better time. Andrew_Smith and nonky 2
