CAMP INFORMATION

Mallorca Brevet Cycling camp is heaven on a bike! Camp is based out of Palma on the island of Mallorca and is designed for experienced long-distance road cyclists to tour the island as a group comprised of 18-20 people. Most routes will be 60 miles (100k) in length, scenic and leisurely. Rides take place Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Saturday is arrival and departure day. There is an optional unsupported ride available on Saturday and Sunday.

The rides are supervised by a group leader who lead the way, stop at various rest points and carry mobile phones to establish communication with base camp and assure the security of the group. A support car will stop at set rest stops along the route.

All routes follow secondary country roads with very little traffic. Riders have the option to ride longer, or take a shorter route. The average grade of hills is around 6-8%. For bike gearing, a 39 in front and a 26 in back is recommended. Routes are subject to change based on weather.

A welcome reception and meeting will be held at the hotel Sunday afternoon. At this meeting, each participant will receive basic instructions about the camp, the island of Mallorca, a map of the island, route bulletins and an emergency phone number to base camp.
