The spectacular stage was yesterday… Today a flat tour to the east coast. The legs scream at times, but we go slow and easy … the tour is again really nice and worth every km.

Soller Pass and Sa Calobra
Today was the spectacular stage of this years training camp. First we rode via Bunyola over the Soller Pass. To start the day, very nice tour, the climb was quite good to do, not steep. And also a very nice view, as you can see on the picture…
Down from the pass to the town of Soller and the buying tickets for the boat to go to Sa Calobra, which is THE climb, on 700m from sea level. Pictures will follow.
Update: created a biking picture page.
In total we did about 137km and 1800m altitude today.
Sant Salvador and Cala Figuera⊠a long tour!
First we went to and on top of the Sant Salvador (510m). The first 50km, just to warm up.
Then we continue to Cala Figuera… A really nice cove on the east coast! We will have to get back… will be around 150km today.
Monastery Lluc
The tour today to the Monastery Lluc, we’ll return to Port Pollenca… so this will be a shorter tour.
Randa
The tour today: to and onto the Randa. 130km with 25,2 kmh average. Went quite well đ
Around Inca
The tour today goes inside the Island, via Muro, Sa Pobla, Campanet, Selva, Lloseta, Binissalem, Inca, and from there upwards onto the Puig d’Inca. Then back via Inca, LlubĂ, Sineu, Maria de la Salut, Santa Margalida to Can Picafort.
The pictures from Puig d’Inca: in the direction of the coastal mountains, where we are heading next week, and the other direction towards Can Picafort. Nice view.
Cala Rajada, Capdepera
Nice little tour, second for me… 35km to Capdepera, very windy today, probably taking a different way back, we’ll see how it goes
First tour on Mallorca â Cala de Sant Vincenç
The vacation did not start well. Last week Tuesday it started with a pretty bad cough, which slowly became better, but during the night to Saturday, the day of the flight, the nose started… developing a good head cold. And then on Sunday I felt so bad that I think it may have been the flu/influenza that got me. So I stayed “in bed”, just some light walking to the beach enjoying a bit of sun…
And then today, I already feel a lot, a lot better. So I did the tour that my group did yesterday… just to test out, very slowly, enjoying the warmth of the sun.
From Can Picafort to Cala Sant Vincenç it’s only 32km… with a slow average of 23km/h.
Bad luck again … first malfunction. A spoke on the back wheel is broken… have to get back to the hotel and bike-station, fortunately I got my bike-tools with me.
