Myself, Darryl, Rob & Drew
Outbound – Sunday 24th April 2022: Staying in Hotel Eolo in Porto Pollença. Travel all okay but 6:40 flight! Checked into the hotel, very small rooms, changed Darryl & Robs for a larger balcony and requested the same for us.
Guys very keen for a ride, venge was all set up and ready to go, 33.6 miles ride for me but very very tired, the others did around 40.
Burger meal by the beach.
Drew has a cold which made it impossible to get to sleep, went down to reception and they sorted me a single room for 1 night.
Monday 25th April: 65 mile ride to Petra, felt better but still very tired. Ice cream on the beach when we got back and the room is much better.
Beer on the beach and a really nice 3 course pasta meal.
Slept a bit better.
Tuesday 26th April: Another warm and sunny day, an epic 90.4 miler up and down the mountains, thru Soller of Col de Soller and back. A bit of coughing up the mountains. Very tired, felt a little queasy at dinner time.
Restless nights sleep.
Wednesday 27th April: Rest day for myself and Daz, Rob and Drew went for a short ride. Sunbathed for a bit on the roof terrace. Clouded over for the afternoon.
Thursday 28th April: 51.5 mile ride, Drew just for a short while as he was returning home.
Back around lunchtime for an ice cream, quite chilly in the afternoon.
Went for a meal at Robs fav restaurant.
Friday 29th April: Very sunny and warm ride to Randa, 85.6 miles, Al Rowan came with us. Coffee in Petra. Rob then ducked out as we headed on to Randa, light lunch at the top and return trip through Pina, Sineu and the marshes.
Went for a dip in the sea which was fresh.
Saturday 30th April: Travel back day – also the 312 day. Very warm and sunny.
Weather generally has been warm and sunny, food in Pollensa excellent and spoilt for choice, location top class.
Hotel – balcony rooms are perfect, other rooms way to small. No pool but so close to the sea.
Cycling has been tough but more the contact points.
Mallorca Shuttle – very good
