I’ve ridden these roads a number of times, and I still believe that the journey to and from the lighthouse from Pollenca is the most beautiful ride in the world. I’ll never get tired of it, no matter how old or unfit I get.
As always, GCN produces top drawer videos for us mere mortals to watch and drool over. Cracks me up how these riders can talk and ride at the same time! My lungs would fall out my arse if I attempted that! Now I am playing hooky from work and looking up ways to get from Phoenix, USA to Mallorca.....
U can buy airplane ticket for 14-16 euros to there and back, hotelroom for a night 20-30 euros, rent a BMC with dI2 ultegra and hydraulic brakes costs 40 euros per day. Who can afford a midrange bike, then this is still "free"
You didn’t answer my questions. How much do you pay for your subscription and how do you think GCN is funded? I can give you the answers. 1) Nothing. 2) By advertisers. Can I suggest that, if you don’t like this model you stop watching.
Can confirm it really is that amazing there. Thanks in part to Hank (and the rest of the GCN events team) who was extremely encouraging at the bottom, even I made it up Sa Colobra just 18m after getting my first road bike. It was like Disneyland for cyclists and truly epic! Go if you can 😍
You watch all these GCN episodes and you feel like the team could be your local team of friends because you get to know them so well, then you watch this episode and get reminded that they're world class athletes who just drop EVERYONE on these climbs.
Absolutely beautiful! However, I‘d argue that the Route in reverse is even more stunning: Col de Soller from the South is amazing, with all those hairpins. Then, you get to climb the biggest climb on Mallorca, the Puig Major (Tùnel de Monnabar). Sa Calobra is the same, which ever way you go about it, but coming up to Cap Formentor is one of the most stunning things, and a perfect way to end a ride.
Nice to see Hank and Connor riding on the "right" side of the road for once. Plus it is quite funny to see two riders that have less than 10% body fat talk about eating croissants....oh and the therapeutic beers.
if Mallorca sounds intriguing - this video does NOT do it justice - it is even BETTER than shown - Mallorca is certainly a cycling Mecca - seems every time Hank said - " just LOOK at that view over there! " and pointed left or right - the camera seemed to QUICKLY focus on the bike wheels ? - not sure why they started at Cap de Formentor when you usually cycle to that location from Port de Pollenca and then come out as it too is a one-way road like Sa Colobra which is an epic climb - the roads are exceptional - traffic is usually light in the off-season but far less so in the summer - I heard they are usually PACKED then and definitely to be avoided - the scenery is simply STUNNING everywhere you look and then you get incredible panoramic vistas of the Bays and Sea breaking out every so often - mild temperatures with low rain - highly recommended but GCN should have done it more justice - NOT TO MISS
I'd head up Coll De Sa Batalla instead of Femenia, incredible climb. Definitely the right call to descend Puig Major - horrendous climb that one, especially in the heat!!
I’d love to see more practical bicycle travel videos. If I visit country X, what routes and climbs are good, how bicycle friendly are the towns, will trains/buses/ferries between cities let me take my bike on board, cultural dos and don’ts as a cyclist, ideal seasons and seasons to avoid if you want to ride in that country.
The best cycling experience I have had. We did Formentor Lighthouse, Sa Calobra, Soller and I didn't stop smiling all day! Beautiful roads, spectacular views, iconic climbs and fantastic food. The beer wasn't bad either.
Can’t wait to go back to the island. So many great memories brought back by this video. EDIT, went and found my Sa Collobra climb which took 42 minutes
Just did this same route in reverse, that descent to soller was incredible and the climb up Puig Major the most challenging climb I’ve taken, but the rewards are spectacular.
Yup. Sa Calobra was on my Bucket List. .. in 2018, almost literally, since I climbed it with Atrial Fibrillation. No KOM for me. I had come from Alcudia via la Feminia, and returned via la Batalla. It was the day of a violent rain storm that took a number of lives in the south east. I beat the rain by a few minutes.
Amazing ride! We smashed out some of those climbs this week!! Although very disappointed that the QOM didn't get a mention as well....there are some strong female cylists out there too!
I ride Mount Dessert Island every year in Maine and evey cyclists favorite climb is Cadillac Mountain......3mi 1000ft elevation gain with amazing views....must go!
Went mid 1980’s for couple yrs with the cycling club. Both great trips great memories that have never gone away but great to see you guys go over the same roads. We used to chase the sprint signs in the day and the different happy hours in the evening!
I have been to Mallorca twice so I guess my bucket list would include another time! Having ridden in a lot of places in Europe and North America, I have to rate the island as simply one of the best places on earth to go cycling.
I’ve always wanted to visit and ride there. We were booked to go for the first time in April 2019. That didn’t work out so well so we plan to get back there. I am curious what gearing the guys would use for their epic ride?
James certainly gets around. This time last weekend I was sitting in the lineup with him surfing Woolacombe in North Devon. Thoroughly nice guy happy to say hello to some guy looking at him strangely with a vague sense of recognition (me)
Excellent, inspiring and envious video, Thank You. Ive been to Majorca with the bike not as many times as I would like, due to having a family now, but the joy of it all comes flooding back with your video. Roll on lottery win and I would deffo buy a place out there!
I just got back from Mallorca last week. First time cycling there. Did Coll De Sa Batala, Coll De Femenia, Sa Calobra and Cap De Formentor. Absolutely awesome. Your video makes those climbs look relatively easy. Sa Calobra was the toughest climb I've ever done. Hard graft indeed. Great video as always 👍
Last time I went up soller was 30 years ago and it was a bit of a nightmare with traffic, I remember getting stuck behind big buses, must be amazing now there’s a tunnel so much less traffic. Would love to go back one day!
Those two beers at the conclusion of your ride look marvelous! Never been to Mallorca, likely never will, but a good spread and a few beers after a great ride provide me with a few select memories. Nice piece.
i would love to come here but the wife recently became disabled through illness and with 3 young kids makes it impossible unfortunately maybe one day keep up the good work chaps great content :)
Rode in 2018 to Soller down full speed in the hailstorm of doom, to reach the cafe at traffic circle when you come into the town.Then totally soaked to Palma ! A Day i will never forget ! Damn !💯🚲😋
Love the video and really nice ride!!Hank looks like a little kid when he rides next to Connor hahaha, he is just sooo tall, I'm amazed he finds frames that fit him!!
Hi GCN, could you please make a video of those Bike Travel Bags/Case that appear on 0:46 .It will be very helpful for those who travel or are planning to travel with their bikes.Thank you. Continue with this amazing videos!!!
These two are great together though it took most of the day to get the fist bumps sorted! There are some excellent flat rides in Mallorca too but the mountains do call and I guess the Sa Colobra is a 'must do' epic ....! Thanks
Try the north Pennines. Between Weardale and Teesdale. Any time of year but beware of ice on north facing sides as late as July. There are 4 passes including the one through Alston. I have never completed all 4. Start and finish at the cafe on top of Crawleyside bank.
Just came back couple weeks ago. Saw GCN on the Formentor climb challenge. Apologies to Hank for calling you Oli! In my defense I was shattered after climbing the Cap! Thanks for the selfie Hank
Over here in U.S. we used to have a tour of West Virginia in the 1990s. It had a lot of climbs (W.V. is called the mountain state). Wish someone would revive it. The West Virginia Classic, as it was called was popular with pro riders, even though it only had a couple of stages.
Was this the Kmart classic? 1995 it came through my hometown (Clarksburg, WV). Got to see pro teams up close. Really got me interested in road riding though mtn. biking is far more popular here. I now do more road riding.
@@thomaswalker7247 Yes! First stage was up here in Wheeling. I can't find much information on it, but remember first stage map. I was a newspaper photographer at the time.
Perhaps it’s time for a GCN trip to the states and a ride up Mt Lemmon this winter. One of the more well-known climbs on this side of the world. Winter is a good time for it too, you get to see some pros out here training around then.
Did a few days cycling out of Soller in September and really great roads and amazing descent down Puig Major after the climb. You can catch the ferry from Port Soller to Sa Colobra which avoids having to do the Puig climb if staying in Soller. Great route around Daia as well and back over Col De Soller on way back.
Mallorca is fab. Was there on holiday at end August. Sadly too hot to cycle (for me!). The bikes on view are amazing. The bike shop in Peurto Pollenca is amazing. Wall to wall pinarellos. Interestingly more expensive to hire a road bike than a car at 50-60 euro a day.
Yakushima was nice, but you need a bell to alert the shika and the saru to move out of your way. Parts of the main coastal road were littered with small rocks and small branches, no doubt due to a gale. Those parts needed concentration and a slower speed. Otherwise around the island on this coastal route, is fairly flat with only one portion that gently rises as you reach the backside. Any road to the interior goes up and many are worth it to see waterfalls, to go on a hike,, or to enjoy a cup of hot tea. Yakushima gets a lot if rain so I probably would not recommend it for people visiting from a similar climate. Near the "town" is an onsen to help rejuvenate sore muscles. Overall it is a quiet island unless you visit during the summer when it gets tourists from mostly mainland Japan. It is very green everywhere.
I was surprised seeing there a such organized cycling tourism, with such great choice of shops and bikes. It's the first place where I see shops renting road bikes. Anyhow, besides the famous and spectacular routes on the coast, and are not that many, in the middle you have many high speed routes where you cycle in the bike lane with cars running 90kmh next to you. Lanes are also quite narrow, sometimes streets end in the middle of nowhere. In summertime it's way too hot, a few trees proctecting from the violent sun, and streets are crowded with car and busses... I'd avoid cycling there in that season. Maybe something to consider out of the peak touristy season.
I have serious ambitions to ride in Mallorca. I recently did a little bit of cycling in the Isle Of Man, and that has some stunning roads to ride too. Druidale, Snaefell and Bungalow were all highlights for me.
My Fav place for a holiday just hoping the 312 will actually be on in 2022, incidentally I would have gone on to Santa Maria Del Cami for "cake" and I mean "cake", brill vid.
"Can i sit on your back wheel?" "Yeah, sure" immediately gets out of the saddle and drops them
In fairness it was an ambitious request 😂
The go for it was for Hank I guess???? 😂😂
😂 Conor takes no prisoners
Cyclist bullying - “can I sit on your back wheel?” ( real meaning - good god your massive) 😂😂😂
😂
I’ve ridden these roads a number of times, and I still believe that the journey to and from the lighthouse from Pollenca is the most beautiful ride in the world. I’ll never get tired of it, no matter how old or unfit I get.
I’ve done the lighthouse twice, but my favourite is the descent of Col de la Battala
Great roads, but too many cars
Good to see that the tunnels are made big enough for Connor to stretch out in full width.

First the Ireland adventure, now Mallorca epic ride! Is GCN trying to make everyone jealous? Great videos and rides.
We're just loving being out on our bikes!

Remind me, how much do you pay to ‘subscribe’? And how do you think the films are paid for?
You didn’t answer my questions.

@@davidgfisher OK Boomer.
Can confirm it really is that amazing there. Thanks in part to Hank (and the rest of the GCN events team) who was extremely encouraging at the bottom, even I made it up Sa Colobra just 18m after getting my first road bike. It was like Disneyland for cyclists and truly epic! Go if you can 😍
@Vegan's R Silly why shouldn’t everyone enjoy it? 😂 Ride like that not worth keeping to yourself
@Vegan's R Silly interesting 😂😂
GCN need to send these guys on more epic rides like these, this was definitely refreshing to watch
I'm sure Hank and Connor would agree
With this video you have won the next 10 cycling inspirations
Living vicariously through these recent ride videos, when I haven't been able to travel with ease for the last two years. Thanks GCN!
You watch all these GCN episodes and you feel like the team could be your local team of friends because you get to know them so well, then you watch this episode and get reminded that they're world class athletes who just drop EVERYONE on these climbs.

I think they have a couple of videos from the Mallorca event coming.
Can you be my tour guide?
I'm going to Mallorca for a week long bike trip in May and this got me real excited for it!
It's awesome out there!
Nice. Go now on impulse then go again in may :D
Anyone has any advice on going there in January?
@@ronulo For me from May to June are the best months. in January it's fine, but sometimes it rains for a whole week
Hank: it's October and it's 26°C!!
Me, living in Scotland: that sounds like hell on earth. Give me a toasty 17°C max.
17ºC is winter coat weather for me! Never even had the opportunity to ride in such cold conditions.
@@tabidots 10°C is short bibs (but still long sleeves thermal jersey)
Mountains , that too at the sea coast!! Truly , a cyclist paradise.
I can’t imagine anything better than going for a beautiful ride and randomly running into the GCN crew. Hopefully some day!
It’ll just have to be a wet dream until then 😂😂😂
I'd head up Coll De Sa Batalla instead of Femenia, incredible climb. Definitely the right call to descend Puig Major - horrendous climb that one, especially in the heat!!
Coll de sa batalla was my favourite too! We also did puig major the long way too.. a tough day out 😂
Exactly the content needed for a Monday morning
Ha! Mad how much I recognise from virtual rides on RGT.
I’d love to see more practical bicycle travel videos. If I visit country X, what routes and climbs are good, how bicycle friendly are the towns, will trains/buses/ferries between cities let me take my bike on board, cultural dos and don’ts as a cyclist, ideal seasons and seasons to avoid if you want to ride in that country.
Beautiful Mallorca! Beautiful landscapes on a bike ride.
Love Connor taking the wide option on the uphill hairpins. GCN presenters....they're just like us!
I miss the yearly pilgrimage to Porta pollenca ! .... Last 2 yrs no trips!
The best cycling experience I have had. We did Formentor Lighthouse, Sa Calobra, Soller and I didn't stop smiling all day! Beautiful roads, spectacular views, iconic climbs and fantastic food. The beer wasn't bad either.
I would enjoy longer Videos from the rides. There is so much more to show.
4:56 "keep going, you got this!!!" *dismounts*
Can’t wait to go back to the island. So many great memories brought back by this video. EDIT, went and found my Sa Collobra climb which took 42 minutes
That WAS a pretty, uuummm, romantic ending scene... LMAO!!! Great video and epic is the word for the locale!!!
great vid stunning scenery...."Can I sit on your wheel mate?"
Thanks to the GCN team for showing us around these epic climbs. I will certainly be back next year.
There are so many different things to see on the bike and the real visual beauty, so I recommend it.👍🙋♀️
Went to Mallorca in august 2019. This takes me back :D Thanks GCN!
The ride over to Artà and Betlem monastery is another stunner guys. You get to look across the bay of Alcudia 👌
Just home last week from a trip to the Beautiful island and taking in all these amazing roads and climbs! What a place!!
Thank you for this! Been riding in Mallorca several times on vacation, always great fun :)
Riding, laughing, eating. GTN well be onto you for pilfering exceptional content!

Perfect timing im flying to Mallorca tomorow with my bike
I did that route in reverse 3 years ago. I love that place, and can barely wait until April...
Flying to Gran Canaria next week for a week of cycling, Mallorca is definitely on my list as well.
Is riding in Mallorca on your cycling bucket list? Let us know in the comments below! 👇

Our club go in May 22 for a week😁
yes and would love to join a future event although I will probably need to improve my fitness first
I’ve always wanted to visit and ride there. We were booked to go for the first time in April 2019. That didn’t work out so well so we plan to get back there. I am curious what gearing the guys would use for their epic ride?
I’m heading there in October 2023 I’ll be 68 then with a dodgy hip. so could be my last chance to do Sa Calobra
Watching this video whilst on the island and I rode Sa Calobra for the first time the other day, never seen a climb like it, majestic but brutal.
I went there when I was in the Marines. I wish I had my bike the entire time I was there.
James certainly gets around. This time last weekend I was sitting in the lineup with him surfing Woolacombe in North Devon. Thoroughly nice guy happy to say hello to some guy looking at him strangely with a vague sense of recognition (me)
Check out Puts for a cleaner wave
Funny to read some fellow surfers / cyclist here! I love to cycle when there's a flat spell 🙂

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful ride Hank and Conor, definitely my bucket list, maybe after a year or two.
Great way to finish the ride!
Freddie is going to love the 312
Port de Valldemossa is also amazing. Been there two times. I need to get back to Mallorca fast
Been looking forward to these videos coming back great one. Mallorca is also great for the family too the beaches are perfect for kids
Rode in 2018 to Soller down full speed in the hailstorm of doom, to reach the cafe at traffic circle when you come into the town.Then totally soaked to Palma ! A Day i will never forget ! Damn !💯🚲😋
Could you possibly have the best job in the world? Riding with your mate ( I hope 😂) in an amazing location, followed by a delicious looking dinner.
Great to see you while filming on puig major!
Two year's since I was riding the same climbs. Got to go back next October for sure.😍🚴♂️💪
Love the video and really nice ride!!Hank looks like a little kid when he rides next to Connor hahaha, he is just sooo tall, I'm amazed he finds frames that fit him!!
Thanks for coming to Mallorca ! Definitely a cycling paradise. I showed up at zafiro hotel just for a chance to meet you, may be next time. Cheers 🍻
I am glad Conor made it home. Every time he drifted over the line, I kept thinking, "this isn't Ireland."
Very good video. Beautiful scenery. Nice reward for the two after there recent adventures. Take care, Al
Hi GCN, could you please make a video of those Bike Travel Bags/Case that appear on 0:46 .It will be very helpful for those who travel or are planning to travel with their bikes.Thank you. Continue with this amazing videos!!!
I'll put this on my bucket list!
Amazing ride! Absolutely beautiful!
It was!
Ahh man beautiful what a ride!!! You guys gotta come out to NYC not as beautiful but definitely interesting!!
These two are great together though it took most of the day to get the fist bumps sorted! There are some excellent flat rides in Mallorca too but the mountains do call and I guess the Sa Colobra is a 'must do' epic ....! Thanks
Try the north Pennines. Between Weardale and Teesdale. Any time of year but beware of ice on north facing sides as late as July. There are 4 passes including the one through Alston. I have never completed all 4. Start and finish at the cafe on top of Crawleyside bank.
Just did that in September and loved (suffered) every second of it!! 😅
Already booked in for May 22 and absolutely pumped for this now! Better shed some kegs though 👀
Just came back couple weeks ago. Saw GCN on the Formentor climb challenge. Apologies to Hank for calling you Oli! In my defense I was shattered after climbing the Cap! Thanks for the selfie Hank
First time to see you guys riding on the right side of the road :)
Great show🇿🇦
Lucky lucky boys! Love it.
That looks so amazing. I should book a trip to kick off the 2022 saison.
Over here in U.S. we used to have a tour of West Virginia in the 1990s. It had a lot of climbs (W.V. is called the mountain state). Wish someone would revive it. The West Virginia Classic, as it was called was popular with pro riders, even though it only had a couple of stages.
Was this the Kmart classic? 1995 it came through my hometown (Clarksburg, WV). Got to see pro teams up close. Really got me interested in road riding though mtn. biking is far more popular here. I now do more road riding.
@@thomaswalker7247 Yes! First stage was up here in Wheeling. I can't find much information on it, but remember first stage map. I was a newspaper photographer at the time.
@@jhall701 Nice. Agree we need some road races or fondos. We are starting to get some gravel rides which is good.
Perhaps it’s time for a GCN trip to the states and a ride up Mt Lemmon this winter. One of the more well-known climbs on this side of the world. Winter is a good time for it too, you get to see some pros out here training around then.
Or have them do the Assault on Mount Mitchell.
Did a few days cycling out of Soller in September and really great roads and amazing descent down Puig Major after the climb. You can catch the ferry from Port Soller to Sa Colobra which avoids having to do the Puig climb if staying in Soller. Great route around Daia as well and back over Col De Soller on way back.
Daia is beautiful!
Mallorca is fab. Was there on holiday at end August. Sadly too hot to cycle (for me!). The bikes on view are amazing. The bike shop in Peurto Pollenca is amazing. Wall to wall pinarellos. Interestingly more expensive to hire a road bike than a car at 50-60 euro a day.
Yakushima was nice, but you need a bell to alert the shika and the saru to move out of your way. Parts of the main coastal road were littered with small rocks and small branches, no doubt due to a gale. Those parts needed concentration and a slower speed. Otherwise around the island on this coastal route, is fairly flat with only one portion that gently rises as you reach the backside.

Lovely bike and jersey colour-way nods @Conor Dunne. Top man 💪
Beautiful video! Although I must say it is pronounced Mah-yor-ka, not Mee-yor-ka
I'm on a GCN vid! Yeah, togheter with Hillary climbing to the San Salvador.
Looks amazing lads! Definitely inspired to get myself out there. Thanks for sharing this.
So jealous, that looks amazing 😍

lovely
Great watch!
