Randa & A Hero

Monday was a Mallorca Cycling Tours, 3 groups steady ride to Randa. Great weather and we had a most enjoyable time pedalling along the quiet smooth lanes.  For those who had ridden Randa-Cura before, they had a nice surprise as the road had been resurfaced since last year and now the climb is easier than before!

Before descending, a quick phone call to Bar Triquet to warn that 40 riders will be arriving on mass in 1 hour for sustainance. All down safely, regroup and make our way to Sineu for a well earned lunch stop.  On arrival, the leg pains vanished as there was a pleasant surprise in the form of Irish legend and cycling hero to many of Sean Kelly! Sean was as accommodating as ever, a few selfies were taken and then the need for food took priority!

On the spin back to the Port, we were then graced by Sean’s presence again, as he tagged along for a while – what a superstar!
