Majorca April 2017

Post date: Oct 05, 2016 8:4:56 AM

A number of 40 Plus cyclists from the St Albans and North Herts sections are planning to spend 1 or more weeks cycling in Majorca in April 2017. We shall be based in Cala Bona which is a pleasant little resort on the east coast of the island. Good quality bikes are available to hire from 2 bike rental shops. This not a club organised holiday - rather a group of 40 Plus cyclists and in some cases, their friends/family going to the same resort at the same time; individual members and their friends where relevant, make their own reservations, either on-line or via Thomsons by telephone and make sure they have appropriate insurance etc. Cyclists signed up so far this year are Inter/Inter+ level for the week/s beginning April 22nd. In previous years group of B/C Riders have made similar arrangements. There are many good rides on quiet roads and cycle paths to interesting destinations including Petra, the Majorcan Mecca for cyclists. The hills nearby are generally as tough as the Chilterns but not as difficult as in Northern Majorca. We stay at the Protur-Aparthotel on a half-board basis but others have stayed in similar nearby hotels, meeting up for rides and for sociable evenings.
