Plan your cycle routes
Start by checking out our Top 5 rides article, then of course come to see us at the Clubhouse! We have a giant wall map to help you get your bearings and check out all the routes.
But most importantly, scroll through all the routes in this section. We're working hard to build these out, and are constantly tweaking and improving the files as we find the best roads.
The FIRST route on the list has to be Cap Formentor. It's possibly the most famous route on the island, and it's right on our doorstep... So definitely the one to start with!
