MALLORCA 312KM | LONGEST EVER RIDE, BIGGEST ELEVATION GAIN | CYCLING CHALLENGE
12,480
Published 2024-05-06
As our longest ever ride and biggest elevation gain this was a huge challenge for me - someone who was so scared of clipping in and even getting on a bike in the first place a couple of years ago.
Thanks so much for all your support. As ever, always so thankful for any likes, comments and subscribes.

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.

A superb feat of endurance riding. You both must be very proud. How do you look so fresh after riding all that distance 🤔 You looked like you've just cycled down to your local shop for a packet of biscuits 😅 Enjoyable as it must have been, would you both do it again?

Would you do it again? And if so which km length would you do? Wow 13th blinking heck good going top cyclist

How was the emotions passing through the party at the last stop in Arta

Bit of a shame that they changed the route a few years back from what was basically a circumnavigation of the island, not sure why ?
-
Saddle too low
