INTRODUCTION
Ready, Set, Go
Mallorca offers something for every cyclist, from some of the most impressive and demanding climbs to leisurely rides, making it a
popular destination for amateurs and professionals.
The cycling season begins in February and is busiest until May but most cycle shops are open until October. July and August are the
hottest months so not an ideal time for training. If you decide to come at this time, then going out at the crack of dawn will not only
ensure you have the run of the road but keep you cooler than you would be in the hot sun.

DAY 02 - Port de Soller > Port de Pollenca
"Its relentless"
"Very much in the category of 'The Ride of the Week'. With the two big Guns - there is "nowhere to hide" today."
Puig Major (from Soller) – Cat 1 / 13.9km / 6.2% Altitude start: 20 m, Altitude top: 850 m, Ascent: 830 m,
Coll dels Reis (from Ma-10) – Cat 4 / 2.5km / 6.4% Altitude start: 570 m, Altitude top: 682 m, Ascent: 112 m,
Sa Calobra – Cat 1 / 9.5km / 7% Altitude start: 12 m, Altitude top: 682 m, Ascent: 670 m,
Once again its strait into it "The Puig Major climb" from Soller up to Tunel de Monnaber, is the second most popular Climb in Mallorca after Sa Calobra. What makes it tough is its actual length – 14km is a long way up. The gradient however is steady at around 6% and it never gets too steep, then The Sa Calobra climb, the ascent from the village of Sa Calobra to Coll dels Reis, is one of the main reasons why cyclists come to Mallorca. With about 7% average gradient and less then 10km of climbing, Sa Calobra is not as challenging as the giants of the Alps and the Pyrenees, but it is an extraordinary climb indeed and certainly the most famous one in Mallorca. Its emblematic 26 hairpin bends, breath taking views and spine-tingling descent have captured the hearts of many cyclists.
