2nd day

March 18th 2012:

I started at Playa, using the coastal bikeway, heading for Palmallorca. Had a short break at Calvia and climbed the Galileo summit. Further on via summit Grau to Valdomossa.

day distance: 100 kilometers

3rd day

March 19th 2012:

The weather didn't look so promising...

Found the way to Bunyola, but have turned in into Orient summit road.

On the way back to Playa, I tried a new route.

A wonderful, paved downhill, but ended...

see below:

I have tried a new route on the way back to Playa de Palma, but ended in the middle of nowhere:

a very good training for our next tour at Greece...

Back to Playa de Palma

Note:

The bicycle way from S'Arenal to the West end of Palma is now completed!

But not worth to ride on Saturdays and Sundays.

Too many playing children, roller skaters, and all kind of non-cycling people...

Simply dangerous!

day distance: 100 kilometers

March 20th 2012:

Cold and rainy weather made me to shorten my tour...

Cala Pi, Lluckmajor; I tried the Randa road, but failed as it started raining.

Very strong front wind (..makes us so strong...) :-)
