We had a fantastic bike tour in Mallorca with team Ricardo and Juan. Our e-bikes were top of the line assisting us in ultra hot 106 degrees and amazing ‘climbs’ followed by stunning switchback downhills. Our cycling routes are some of the best in Spain. Hotels were beautiful and provided plenty of serious r&r between rides (Cava was on the breakfast menu!). Mallorca is a cyclists’ heaven. Do this trip while you can. You won’t be disappointed!
The central Portuguese Caminho ride deserves to be in every Mountain bike magazine out there. Don’t get me wrong, it is not the technical adrenalin blasting skinned knee big drop off a 20’ ladder adventure, but it is a legitimate mountain bike required blast. (although I did bloody my knee once). I was more than pleasantly surprised at the amount of dynamic terrain that we encounter throughout the ride.. This is not a road ride. We road from cobble stone, to dirt, to the street, to technical mountain single track. Around every twist and turn a new terrain was waiting for us. The climbs are legit but totally manageable and there was even cold beer at the top of the hardest and most technical climb. It was like it appeared out of the clouds..
Live Love ride… what can I say? these guys rock! They set us up with the adventure of a lifetime and every detail was seamlessly orchestrated. All we had to do was ride to the next town. Pedro set us on our way with the gear and information that we needed and then made everything work for us in the background… If you are considering a biking adventure, then this is the place and live love ride is the company.. it is a guaranteed life changer..
Cheers and “Bom Caminho”
