After more than 10 years of winter riding in Santa Barbara, California, this year i opted to do some winter riding in Majorca/Mallorca, Spain. All good things come to an end: in my case, 10 days of riding in perfect, cool winter weather with splendid sunshine on beautiful roads and stunning scenery. We, my German friend Volker Kottig and me, hit the road for 10 consecutive days and logged 1,242 km/776 miles with 11,639 meters / 38,400 feet of climbing. We even saw some pros during the Mallorca Challenge. Actually, Vyacheslav Kuznetsov, formerly Katusha, of Gazprom was my next door neighbor in the hotel we stayed. He finished 10th and 20th in his races
The purpose of this trip was to familiarise myself with this part of the island as I consider this location, Playa de Palma, for the MajorcaCycling Fall Riding Camp in october. In March/April i will be back with 35 guests for the MajorcaCycling Spring Riding Camp. I took far too many pictures, and some i want to share here. If you ever consider a cycling trip to Majorca, join the Majorca expert MajorcaCycling - you will not be disappointed. You can count on Garmin Hajo to take you o the nicest routes - guaranteed. Now, i am looking forward to some rest days.
