Sa Calobra & Road Closures
Tuesdays Mallorca Cycling Tours with Mickey Cranks was about a visit to the legendary Sa Calobra! Getting away early was essential to be ahead of the coaches and with only a brief drink stop on route we were at the top of the Coll dels Reis in good time. Getting down was harder than anticipated with a film crew closing the road for a while. However, the benefit was that as we were at the front of the queue, as soon as the road was re-opened, we had one of the best descents in a long time with a pretty much empty road!
Quick selfies, group pictures and then climbing back up before the legs get cold.
The top is up there somewhere!
Smiling on the way up to a personal best time!
Nearly up and a great view down
Now that was easy – shall we do it again soon?
Needless to say the ride back was substantially easier and within a few hours, the recovery process was underway ready for the next challenge! Fantastic day out, super groups and such banter!
