With professional coaches and guides, combined with SportActive’s 5 Star ***** magic, your week features a dedicated Mallorca M312/M225/M167 Mountain Day where your climbing skills will be refined.

The ride allows you to learn to pace correctly for any number of long endurance events that you consider doing throughout the year.
This invaluable preparation is ideal for any great cycling event, it will help you perfect pacing and understand the importance of timing your food stops on the ride, as well as invaluable climbing experience that is hard to find outside of Spain.
Moreover, you’ll gain experience riding the Tramuntana Mountain Range. This will prove invaluable come the big day if you are competing in the M312/M225/M167 or any major event in the year.

Mallorca M312 Preparation
The Mallorca M312/M225/M167 is the longest amateur cycling event in Europe. It is a demanding ride even for seasoned amateur cyclists. Training involves months of turbo trainer/indoor cycling during the cold winter months. It involves building base miles and fitness. Ideally, it will include climbing as this is predominantly the first half of the M312/M225/M167.
Cycling Holiday Performance Holidays are perfect timing for the Mallorca M312/M225/M167. It should be used as part of the rider's training block before the rider starts to taper and reduce volume and intensity approaching the selected event.
You also get to train in beautiful Mallorca where you’re often flanked by limestone cliffs or olive and orange tree orchards, and the beautiful turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

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.

Testimonials
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.
