  • I did almost exactly 100 miles by riding from Port de Pollensa to Sa Pobla and getting the first train to Palma, then pick up the MA-10 via Calvia and Andratx. Follow the MA-10 through Estellencs and Banyalbufar - fantastic road. You could have a truly epic ride following the whole thing all the way through the mountains back to PdP but that would be a lot more than 100 miles for the day. I headed inland for a flat route via Santa Maria del Cami, Binissalem, Campanet.

  • How was it taking your bike on the train? You reckon they'd be cool with three people turning up?

  • You didn't ask me, but from what I experienced, the bikes on trains system is similar to here, except you don't need to pre-book. They won't be allowed on in rush hour into/out of palma etc.

  • I travelled on a Saturday morning and had no problem. I was the only one that got on at Sa Pobla...

    It did fill up a bit more when changing at Inca, but there are also dedicated spaces on the train for bikes (either two or four at each carriage end, can't remember.) Maybe a different story on weekdays but then it's clear from timetables which trains bikes are allowed on, i.e. off-peak.

    Also worth noting that it was still a bit dark when setting out from Port de Pollensa, but it was October!
