Some of my bike rides in Mallorca, Ibiza and Formentera: past, present and future

Here are some bike rides I have enjoyed in the Balearics during the last seven years. I’m looking forward to my first post-pandemic visit in October for the 6Points Ibiza and Formentera, which I last rode in the autumn of 2019, with some additional Mallorca riding before and after. Some of the following rides are on the agenda!

Cala Tuent and Es Vergeret

As some will know, When descending Sa Calobra, I always stop at the turn to the left a fewContinue reading “Cala Tuent and Es Vergeret”

The 2018 Mallorca 312

The GoPro video version This video is about the 2018 Mallorca 312 I rode with Leslie. We did the 225kms version, and, as for the full 312 kms, most of the interesting riding is along the Ma10 road along the north of the island, through the Tramuntana mountains, and then through the western Tramuntanas, whereContinue reading “The 2018 Mallorca 312”
