Day 4 - Ermita Santa Magdalena

Long day, but nice ride, coffee shop was a bit of a cockup change of venue didn’t work Campanet would have been much more pleasant.

Day 5 - Can Picafort

Big changes for the group as we decided to split in run into three groups by ability. This turned out to be very successful with know one put under pressure. We even managed to arrive within a few minutes of each other at the coffee stop. Traffic was a bit heavy but manageable. Good ride.

Day 6 - Palma bus trip

Everyone set off 9:30 on the bus to Palma where they where due to spend the day. G&H headed out to do there own thing while Flo and I went to Arta to get a Tee Shire for Marty and while there we grabbed a coffee and wandered around some shops.

Luckily we got back just in time to catch the finish a road race taking part on the island today.

Finished off a nice day with a meal in Cashmere the local Indian restaurant then ice cream and beer in Grand Cafe 1919. Great company G&H Darel and Ellen.

Day 7 - Rain Spoils Play

As predicted wet today, so groups being ferried to the Albufera for a hikes. While some of us remain here for Yoga with Earl.

Day 9 - Sa Calobra

Today worked out well got to the climb quite fresh and with minimal hanging around. I felt I was able to ride hard all the way to the top and took nearly 7 mins off last week’s time. I think all that rode with us today enjoyed it a lot and achieved a lot. The hikers also had a good day with their highest walk so far.

Back on Sa Calobra

Sa Calobra for the last time

Day 10 - Sa Pobla, Buger, Campanet, Selva and Lluc
