LIVING MY BEST LIFE IN MALLORCA!

[@danielfinnerty4530]

Thank you .. proves people can change for the good

8:09 - Last year in September the route to the lighthouse was closed to the cars, there was a shuttle bus from the parking lot to the top. It was much nicer cycling experience!

Did the Cap de Formentor end of July last summer from Port de Pollenca. Started at dawn to beat the heat, amazing at that time of day before the traffic and catching sunrise, it was a perfect ride.

Yes it definitely was busy… I went last May and it was a lot quieter! But as I said, I’m not going to complain… around my area it’s busy and the weather is shit! So I’ll take Mallorca any time…

Great vid. Looks beautiful but....can't believe how busy the road was to the Lighthouse. :(.

[@invalice123]

I recently went in April 2023. The rough weather closed the roads for repair for a while, but you could get in at around 4pm. As the roads were generally closed, combined with the low tourist season, it was wonderfully quiet! If you’re still there, please try Basico Gastrobar or Steakhouse in old Alcudia!

[@chrismadge7292]

Jeez I’ve never seen so much traffic on that lighthouse road before. 😮. 20 years ago you might see a dozen cars in total on that trip. The tunnel was unlit and you had to just aim for the dot of light at the end of the tunnel whilst riding in pitch black 😂 Still, it’s a stunning ride.

[@seandl8994]

Thomas, or anyone reading, what's the camera strap you are using to carry your camera on your back while riding. Thanks in advance

Epic. Thanks mate. Have my first Majorca trip coming up and will be starting with Formentor.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

I think if you go at the right time of year (when it’s not as busy) it’s an incredible place… there’s no doubting it. And some people myself included actually enjoy going somewhere to ride with a lot of other cyclists. In my area there is little to no cycling scene, so seeing everyone out in droves is exciting to me… I appreciate there is other great places, that are quieter and I’ve witnessed some of them myself… but you can’t say that Mallorca isn’t great! I’ll be going back again for sure… 😁👍

@@TheCyclingTattooist Compared to the UK and Northern Europe, Mallorca is a paradise that all cyclists should visit once.

@@TheCyclingTattooist it's pandemonium today from what I hear from my ex colleagues...People forced to get out of bed at 6am to find quiet roads. It's supposed to be a holiday! I worked there and gave it up. Hopefully see you in this neck of the woods. Regular sights on the roads here are Sagan, Bardet and Spanish Champion Carlos Rodriguez with AG2R, Trek, Caja Rural, BH Burgos all doing camps and altitude training. Great for them but kills any hope of me getting a KOM. Luckily there are not enough hotels here to accommodate the numbers necessary to clog the roads. You should come and make a video here.
