The beauty for cyclists when it comes to our chosen destinations is the amount of sporting events they host, allowing those with a passion for sport to indulge in what they love. If you are training for your very own sportive, such as L’Etape Du Tour, Ride London, Dragon Ride, or a triathlon, there is no better place to train than Mallorca.
There are also many other fabulous activities to participate in, both for cyclists and for those in your party who might like to be active, or maybe take the opportunity to try something different.
These include:-
For those who love being behind the handlebars, the number of ‘sportifs’ and local races, specifically in Mallorca, is highly appealing and can be a great way to prepare for your main challenges throughout the year. Mallorca is the perfect place to train for those who are part of cycling teams or plan on becoming first-class triathletes.
Why Mallorca?
Mallorca is a diverse island that can push you as far as you want to go
– the control is completely with you.
An epic annual ride that usually takes place in April – as of 2016 this event is on closed roads on the west side of the island – with distances of 312km long (193 miles for us Brits). Following some of the most incredible scenic routes, as well as hill-climbs that will push and empower you. The cut off time is 14 hours.
There are shorter versions of this Sportif, which are 232km - 144 miles, and 167km – 103 miles. This is also an option, with the time limit being 9 hours.
This is a day of riding that is quite simply unforgettable; there is nowhere else on the planet that combines the kind of beauty that Mallorca has to offer, with a challenging ride that leaves you feeling completely exhilarated, exhausted and accomplished.
We dare you to give it a go...
A half Ironman distance triathlon that usually takes place in May, before the weather gets too hot. Internationally it is a popular race on the triathlon calendar and places are sold out quickly, so get on board whilst you can!
Starting off in Alcudia, you will swim in the Med, before riding through some of the local quaint and character-laden villages, then finally finish off with a run that takes you back to your starting point in Alcudia.
Held in April / May, the Mallorca Triathlon is a local event that in 2016 will be based in Colonia Sant Jordi. Don’t let the local aspect fool you – this is a race of Olympic distance and is brilliant preparation for the rest of the season. The time of year is what makes it most appealing, with the sun still warm, but not uncomfortably hot.
A half Ironman distance race due to take place in October, making the most of the cooler climate. The race starts in the foothills of the Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range, making it one of the most scenic you can take part in.
You will run around the surrounding areas of Paguera, before finishing off in the heart of the town. Once you are on the island, you will be able to find many, many more locally organised runs and triathlons, which combine local spirit with friendly competition.
It’s all about enjoying yourself, so get out there and watch yourself improve...
