Rider Vetting: This is open to riders of varying ability however it is important that our small group is of a similar ability. You do not need to be race fit but you do need to be a regular cyclist capable of 160km rides in mountain terrain with reasonable descending, bike handling and group riding skills. However you will be paced by highly experienced guides and you will have the option to sit in the wheels all day which conserves plenty of energy. Our Guides: Our professional bike guides bring with them a wealth of riding experience, incredible local knowledge and an unrivalled passion for road cycling. They have lead personal bike tours for riders of all ability and experience levels, and they know every inch of Mallorca's endless country roads and climbs. Lead guide and organiser Nicholas Perks will be responsible for all LAP dates throughout the 2019 season. You will be supported and serviced from our support car with regular food and drink to minimise stopping which allows the ride to keep a good rhythm and not become a longer day than it needs to be. Therefore you also need to be confident eating and drinking on the bike. The support vehicle will be fully equipped with spare wheels, chains, cables, tyres etc so there will be no stopping you. There will be one 30-45 minute stop in Sa Rapita and pee breaks as necessary. The most important thing for a day like this is that your are motivated to complete the ride and understand that every rider will have their up and downs during the ride. This is normal on this sort of a day on the bike. There is no broom wagon so once the day is started you are fully committed. The guides will look after you, get you through the day and make it an experience that you will not forget. If bike hire is required Pro Cycle Hire Mallorca can supply a number of top end road bikes subject to availability. The bikes are perfectly maintained and in the rare case of a mechanical problem then we have full permission to carry out roadside repairs along with a compatible parts in the support car. If you are using your own bike it is essential that it is well maintained and roadworthy. the lap - 4
