Majorca
Riding Week incorporating Vet's & Ladies
By far one of
the most popular cycling destinations in the world, with
experienced guides for all groups, back
up vehicle, top speakers to cover diet, training and other
subjects, and any number of guest riders attending (Geoff
Thomas – former England and Crystal Palace footballer)
and Malcolm Elliott in 2006, but to name a couple).
The formula
is simple: a lot of keen cyclists – a
group of very able and cheerful guides to look after all
standards, well prepared routes and maps, van back-up,
top advice from leading cyclists as well as experts from
Science in Sport, a first class resort, great food and
bags of social activity.
There is a whole
team of experienced riders taking out groups for different
distances, speeds and degree of difficulty – so
from club rider to beginner there will be a group for you,
but don’t be surprised if you suddenly realize you
have clocked up a 1,000km without even noticing..
What’s
Included:
- Representative to greet you at Palma Airport and direct
you to our private transfers across the island to our Hotel.
- Pre-checked rooms to ensure speedy check-in
- Planned weekly Itinerary including daily guided rides,
vehicle back-up, drinks/energy products on rides, evening

Who’s
it For?
All
levels of cyclist are accommodated – club riders
can ride off the front through the mountain routes or sit
back in one of the medium pace groups for a rest day. Those
of moderate ability will have a number of groups to move
in and out of and the slower groups allow novices to get
used to riding on consecutive days in a ‘tour’ situation.
The flat terrain around Pollentia and Alcudia allow beginners
to get a feel for riding with others and can venture into
main groups riding into the hills when confidence is gained.
The choice of rides will vary from anything between 20
and 75 miles (occasionally longer) each day and the pace
between 10-15 mph, with the lead groups occasionally faster
(and even further), depending on the group.
