I was looking for a booster to start my cycling training and get some confidence to climb.
This was my first cycling trip and choosing Sportactive was the best thing I did ! I went by myself, without my bike and not much experience.
Everything was organized smoothly as promised and Martin managed to fit the bike perfectly for me for the next 500 km. He is a fantastic professional, he knows every bit of Mallorca and everything about cycling; and lead each one of us to our best.
I learned a lot every day and achieved much more than expected. I am already looking forward to my next challenge with them and totally recommend it.

Thanks for the great organisation. Had a great week with Martin and turned out to be lots of lovely ladies out as well, so was very happy with that.
Weather was kind to us and some great training rides. I conquered Sa Calobra - not sure enjoy springs to mind but I did it, so I have that one ticked off! See you in April,
best wishes Paula.
