The first thing that struck me about the cycling was how dynamic it was, offering something for all levels. Having learnt the hard way to climb on the longer and sometimes steeper Alpine climbs, Mallorca certainly presents a more relaxed and achievable learning environment for the nouveau grimpeur. 

How to: Become a better hill climber

Gradients in Mallorca tend to be consistent, and the environment provides for less changeable weather conditions meaning that you often won’t need to carry warm gear for the descents- the Galibier roll down demanded a down jacket and ski mitts this summer!

Mallorca not only caters for the road cyclist, there are stacks of MTB tracks just waiting to be ridden, cutting lines across the hillsides between beautiful Mallorcan villages.
