ROAD CYCLING IN MALLORCA | THE CRASH

Day 3 of cycling in Mallorca and we are back in the mountains – this time taking on the MA-10 route from Andtrax, back to Port de Pollensca. 137km is on the cards, filled with coastal roads and iconic climbs – coll after coll.

The ride is cut short after descending in to Soller and experiencing a wheel slip. I end up bouncing off a wall and needing A&E care in Soller – few stitches across the knuckles, arm / leg skin scraped off and my time riding on the Spanish isle comes to an abrupt end.

Prior to the crash, this was one of the most beautiful rides I have ever done. Absolutely gorgeous route with the most breathtaking scenery.

A little about me
Thanks for dropping by.
I’m your classic runner turned newbie cyclist.

For years I feared riding a bike – I was afraid of traffic, clipping in, couldn’t get my head around lycra, chamois cream and clambering up hills on a bike.

I didn’t believe that riding a bike would give me the same de-stress, mental download or sense of freedom that life as a long distance runner had given me before my knees ground to dust.

Fast forward to 2021 and picking up a second hand CAAD10 changed my life for the better. Not just physically and mentally. But also providing a sense of community and belonging – which is magic. The cycling community is just magic.

So I’m here. To hopefully inspire others to not fear the bike – the lycra, the clipping in. And come share the passion, freedom and indescribable joy that comes from being on the bike. I truly believe that the bike life is the best life and everyone should be able to enjoy it.

Come with me on some adventures.
