My Cycling Holiday

Don’t just See Mallorca, Experience it

Mallorca is an island to savour. From olive and orange tree orchards to amazing mountain views and tucked away villages, Mallorca has to be experienced by bike. Travelling by car or bus to various locations means you miss too much, only glimpsing Mallorca rather than living it. The only way to really get a flavour of the culture and the people is to ride from place to place. Ride with SportActive and you will get a chance to truly experience the island and her culture.

Maps and Profiles

Leisure Cycling Holiday Location

Your Cycling Holiday is located on the Balearic island of Mallorca, belonging to Spain. Mallorca is known as the Paradise for cyclists due to its weather conditions, smoth traffic free roads, mountain climbs, flat-undulating roads making it the ideal place of all types of cyclists and training needs. Puerto Alcùdia, our base, is situated on the north coast, the most picturesque part of Mallorca.

Leisure Cycling Holiday Profile

5 structured rides/week in ability groups.

Depending on numbers, we run up to 5 different groups. In the SportActive Cycling Centre you will meet very experienced cyclists, here for training, more relaxed groups for a leisure holiday and also beginners. The groups never exceed 14-15 riders. You will never see a SportActive group of 20 people or more on the road.

Pace of the Leisure Group: 3-5 hours per day
Lunch stop in a local bar plus one or two coffee stops; number of stops depending on the group.

Daily distanceof the Leisure Group, in km: Depending on the ability of the group ; we start with 30 or 40 kms and build it up to 50 km, 60 km or even a little more. The road surface is smooth in Mallorca. This means that with the effort you need in the UK or Ireland to cycle 40 km, you'll do 60 in Mallorca. You wil be surprised how long you can go on Mallorca's smooth roads. If the group is up for it we'll encrease a little the distances indicated in the graph but without overstressing you.

Testimonials

This was my first cycle holiday with SportActive and it exceeded all expectations.

If there is such a place as "Cycle Heaven" then I think I just experienced it. Sportactive's organisation and customer care is second to none and I was so well looked after, from the moment I arrived to the moment I left.

The equipment was first class, and Martin's careful bike fit and Steve's maintenance during the week made for a comfy ride. I learned a lot from Derek and Alfonso and my technique has greatly improved.

The routes were stunning and achieved a perfect balance of enjoyment and challenge. Flora was always on hand to deal with any questions and her warm-down exercise sessions were very helpful. It was a real treat to meet Sean Kelly and cycle with him on the last couple of days.

If you are looking for a high quality cycle experience then I would highly recommend a week with Sportactive.

Testimonials

Thanks to all the staff at Sportactive for a fantastic week.

I wasn't too sure what to expect, being my first cycling holiday, but I was not disappointed. From the moment I arrived at the hotel, to the moment I left, I enjoyed every minute.

Efficient administration, friendly service, great guides, and progressive rides in both effort and beautiful scenery. Was a pleasure to ride with like minded riders, the icing on top was to have the privilege of riding with Sean Kelly.

Thanks again for a great experience.
