Club Mallorca Week 2023

There will be a club overseas trip to Mallorca in May 2023 which is open to all club members. It will operate on a self organising basis, with people booking their own flights, hotel and bike hire to provide maximum flexibility and minimise the administrative burden. Suggested options are listed below. The dates will be Saturday 6 May 2023 to Saturday 13 May 2023, and there will be a club presence there during that period. People can come for longer or just part of the week if that suits.

Obviously ride distance, profile and pace will vary depending on who decides to go, and any ride leaders will need to be volunteers from the groups, so if you want to go it might be best to discuss with those you usually ride with to see who might be interested. We will be based in Port de Pollença. There will be a WhatsApp group and we plan to have an optional evening meeting in Port de Pollença somewhere each day to coordinate groups and routes as appropriate, and a nominated start time and place if people choose different hotels. For clarity, the intention is to coordinate those who want to go to do what they want, and there will be help on hand, but it is not a fully organised trip.

For those that have not been before, Mallorca is seen by many as a cycling mecca. It is incredibly popular and well set up for cyclists. There are plenty of interesting routes on good roads, ranging from flat, quiet back roads to classic climbs and longer mountain days. Road surfaces are generally good and the drivers are courteous. Many UK clubs use it, as well as several of the pro teams for their winter training camps.
