Cycling Holiday for Beginners
Mallorca

Overview

Cycling in Mallorca with SportActive means learn to ride the bike the right way

Even if you are a complete beginner you will soon be riding at a higher level. We’ll ensure you are fully aware of all the important aspects of cycling, from right clothing choices to gear use. You will avoid the typical mistakes made by most beginners and understand the fundamentals of cycling at a higher level.

A week riding with SportActive, and you will break through this wall and reach a new level in your cycling

Improve your Cycling : often we start road cycling with the best of intentions but hit a wall. Without the right coaching advice breaking through this wall can feel like an impossible task.

This cycling holiday is about you becoming a better cyclist, and not trying to achieve a Tour de France time

The routes you ride will be structured around your ability, and you will never be pushed too much or expected to ride further than you can. Our group riding system ensures you are riding at the right level to match your skills and abilities.

Mallorca is one of the best places to cycle in the world.

Team INEOS (SKY) and other pro peloton teams train here in the off season. The roads are winding and mostly traffic free, and our routes will ensure you have you own cycling adventure, improving all the time. You will learn road cycling in a relaxed atmosphere. You will also get to see beautiful parts of the island and experience its culture.

Relax after your Ride

After your cycling why not go for a spa or a swim in one of the three hotel pools? Or a hotel sports massage. Let’s not forget the after-ride walk on the beach.

We ride together, we eat together, and camaraderie forms

All SportActive guests stay under the same roof. Our guests tell us they make new long lasting friendships on our tours. If you are wondering if you can enjoy the holiday if you’re travelling alone, the answer is yes.

No need to transport your Bike

Don’t take your bike on a plane hire one of ours. Our bike mechanic keeps them on the road, and our bike shop sells everything you need for cycle training. Bikes with straight handle bars are available as well as racing bikes.

Beaches, Shopping and Nightlife

When you’re not training, why not walk on a beautiful golden beach, where you will be greeted by the sea air and breeze. The blue sea stretches as far as your eye can see. You will also be in the heart of Mallorca’s shopping and nightlife districts

Itinerary, Cycling Location, and Profile

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 and also 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.

Cycling Holiday Profile

5 structured rides/week in ability groups.

The Leisure & beginners group is usually no more than 5 to 6 people which allows to take care of their individual needs.

Pace: 3-5 hours per day, adapted to the group's ability.

Lunch stop in a local bar plus one or two coffee stops, depending on the days and how the group evolves

Daily distance in km:  Depending on the ability of the group ; we starti with 30 or 40 kms (less if  the people in the group need to do less)  and build it up to 50 and 60 km. 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. Don't be afraid by the numbers of kms indicated as it is easier than you think to clock up the miles. And again, we adapt to the people in the group.
