al yuille Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 All good Billy. Suggest we actually research the routes to avoid a Gironaesque Critererium de Industrial Estate. Sa Calobra should be a full turn out - is everyone there by Sun? Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Committee Alan McLean Posted April 20, 2013 Committee Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Nice long route, as approved by Ramsay and I, is Pollensa-Lluc-Puig Major-Soller-Bunyola-Orient-Alaro-Selva-Campanet-Pollensa. 140k, 2500m of climbing, This is a beautiful ride with four proper cols. It climbs to 880m before a breathtaking descent into Soller at almost sea level. There is a short section on the main road out of Soller before a big tunnel where bikes are diverted onto switchbacks through orange groves to cross the Col de Soller. Another great descent before entering Bunyola, watch for sharp but signposted left turn in Bunyola village to "Alaro/Orient" to go back into the hills. The Orient valley is stunning and after another col it is pretty much downhill for the last thirty k home. There is a lovely quiet back road from Campanet. Paul could do it twice to keep the mileage up. Excellent cafe at summit of Col de Soller. .+1 Ramsay's advice to get bike map from shop. They are waterproof and the good bike roads with less traffic are marked in green. They save a lot of unnecessary time on busy roads.
