We find quiet roads with breathtaking scenery, passing through beautiful Mallorcan villages, sometimes riding next to the sea, sometimes into the mountains. We have the time to really appreciate the Mallorcan countryside, to chat and get to know other riders in the group, even the time to stop and take a photograph.

Our guided rides vary in length from 60 kms to 90 kms for riders who enjoy getting on their bikes, taking it easy and exploring parts of the island that most tourists never discover. The Touring cycling group is ideal for those that enjoy adventures and using the bike as a means to visit places of interest or if you are new to road cycling and want an introduction to spending the best part of the day on two wheels.

Join us, it is always fun. We stop for coffee and cake in the morning, a lunch stop plus sometimes an afternoon stop as well on longer rides.
