MALLORCA 312!

[@stuartthorpe4333]

i did it that year and it was a shambles for me setting off 40 minutes late. Did it this year and thankfully completed it with plenty of time left

[@tonyyoung9716]

Hi Katie, well done you, all the praise is well deserved. I did the 225 and was also a bit emotional at the end as this was icing on the cake of my first year as a cyclist. Back in Tod now with Cragg Vale recovery ride. Take care , my see you with your New Jersey on...

[@KatieKookaburra]

Ahhh wow that is impressive! Well done, maybe see you on Cragg in the summer :)

[@SherpaDave]

Great ride. I did the 225 but got lost. Coming back next year fitter and stronger with a better sense of direction and I’ll do the 312! Thanks for the inspiration and the tears! Great to see you get emotional about it.

[@talibe801]

Congratulations for your great ride,and thanks for the video and the fantastic report.

[@alanspence1716]

Awesome, well done Katie on a magnificent achievement and video! You didn't look particularly tired even, perhaps the rib injury did you a favour in the end by controlling how much energy you expended in the days leading up to the main ride. Brilliant!

[@KatieKookaburra]

Yeah Alan I think it was exactly that, forced me to rest which actually did help me stay fresh for the event :) wouldn’t recommend it to others though.. 😂

[@soloist777]

I've ridden that mtn so many times with Dan(one of the GCN boys). Well done!

[@KatieKookaburra]

Ahhh it's a bloody beaut isn't it :)

[@PoetWithPace]

This looks an epic ride Katie. Thanks for sharing and well done on completing despite all the set backs.

[@ernestogaleano]

Congrats on your epic ride. Being an adopted LOCAL RIDER, its strange to me that you'd think it was cold 😂... You should had seen how bad and cold it was a week before! This year I did the 225 as it was the distance I was missing. Thanks for your video footage, it sure makes me happy when someone appreciates how beautiful the mountains are around here.

[@KatieKookaburra]

I was there the week before and the weather was bad wasn’t it. Well done on 225!!! What an event!!!

[@mikenewberry4064]

Chapeau Katie! What a great accomplishment.

[@AndryMacH]

Many congratulations Katie - superb job. After all the pain and angst, no wonder you cried at the end.

[@KatieKookaburra]

Ahh thanks Andrew, I know I think I was just so grateful to finish in a good time :) Woohooooo!!!

[@andydinwoodie1497]

Fantastic Katie. I only managed the 167 as my left knee was giving me serious grief after about 90km. It was still agreat day out though. Weather was perfect

[@KatieKookaburra]

Ahhh well done Andy, that is incredible. Nothing worse than knee pain during a ride so you did incredible riding the 167 :)

[@leftymadrid]

You have to be in shape to do these longish rides, you've come a long way!! I remember the rides some time back and now your crushing these long rides!!! But If You look back, you've done a ton of riding to get where you are physically and mentally becoming a great rider :-) :-) :-) :-) Let's face it, 312 is A LONG RIDE!!! Well done Katie!!

[@KatieKookaburra]

Yes thanks so much, I think people sometimes think I just naturally can do longer rides when in reality I have put in some sweat and hard work over the years. Anyone can do it if they put in the hours :) Thanks so much for the support x

[@sequelsound2929]

Looks like awesome scenery. Congrats you smashed it!

[@scottbendle442]

Well done Katie! Congratulations on accomplishing your goal!

[@deaglain]

Just about to head into work, on a Monday morning! and you've managed to put me in a better mood, so thanks for that, haha. We'll done katie, this one has been a year + in the making, and i think this years jersey looks better than last!

[@KatieKookaburra]

Ahhh Dec have a great day at work and glad you enjoyed the video :) It has been a year in the making, you're right! Woop woop! I love both jerseys but do love the older one :) x

[@fishtail123]

Hi Katie! We saw you at the base of Sa Colobra on the Monday after the 312 so you clearly recovered well :-) ...good video of the event, the last food station was intense and i certainly didnt take a beer!! Well done for completing it too, we are going to have another go but perhaps not next year....got the Marmotte to contend with :-) Ride on.

[@petanders1968]

Weather looks gorgeous there, can't wait for it to warm up over here in uk, enjoy yourself atb.

[@zyphod]

Well done Katie, brilliant result!!

[@timcollins340]

Wow. Well done, Katie, just epic. Bloody excellent! X

[@weegiewheeler]

I did this in 2018. the best cycling day of my life. the best holiday of my life. we also did the big daddy up the back bone of mallorca. all the drops. my 312 experience was to get lost near Arta and added 20 miles on as we went wrong way in the day and ended up doing 223 miles - as had to cycle back to porta polenca. i missed the beers and music at arta booo lol. covid permitting back april 2021

[@KatieKookaburra]

Ahhh I love Mallorca!!!!!!

Incredible Katie. Epic Ride, well done. You don't even look tired.

[@Jcrossland1980]

Well done Mrs! It is an emotional ride. Its a breath taking course! Hope you ate more then Cliff Bar and Jam lol

[@147AndyH]

Fantastic ride Katie, super well done👍 And you looked so fresh at the end!! Would you recommend the 312.... Like the idea of closed roads/great scenery and potentially good weather.....pros and cons...

[@dalecollins2085]

Which route did you complete Katie? The 312, 225, or the 167? I'm planning on doing the event in 2021 or if things don't improve 2022. Congratulations on completing.

[@OneLessCar]

This reminds me why mass events aren't my thing. Penned up for an hours at stupid o'clock in the cold, crowds at feed stations (when I did ride London every station I stopped at had run out of food), bottle necks. I'd rather just ride the route another day 🤣

[@totallynotraging]

yeah that's why Audax is my preferred form - you get all the fun of the fayre without the silly o'clock starts. To be fair though when I did Paris Roubaix the other week it had an open start format, you could pick your number and RFID card up in the morning or the day before and start at any time you liked 0700-0900, and they had proper food at the shops not just the sports industry's latest horrid potions. Some events do it better than others I guess.

[@KatieKookaburra]

I love both and the thing I loved most about the 312 was the closed roads. It was incredible!! So much fun to be around so many riders. Some people like riding alone, others in groups. I love both :)

[@lokie1964]

Katie Kookaburra closed roads and amazing volunteers are the reason I do organized rides.

[@jonnythelegs2597]

D'you fancy coming down to Cornwall for the Land's End 100 it's a great loop round Penwith really well organised and the locals properly go town at the feeding stations.

[@GazzaView123]

Yay! Well done Katie, a great achievement anyway, but to do it whilst injured as well. Chapeau!

[@RobFinch1971]

Congrats, what an awesome achievement. Would you be able to give us some info on what you ate and any tips? Thanks.

[@KatieKookaburra]

If you watch my preparation video the day before I showed everything I took to eat. The only extra was a handful of peanuts at the last stop. I wouldn’t normally eat nuts on a ride though

[@moonwrasse]

Awesome ride Katie, Chapeau

[@mikebradford2651]

Well done Katie, an excellent ride and you enjoyed it! 👍

[@patricke3000]

Would you ever consider doing the event again. Must ppl stop at the rest stations or do people ride threw them sometimes. You mentioned a timelimit how much time do people have to complete the 312 km. How bad are the hills?

[@KatieKookaburra]

I would do it again for sure :)

[@KatieKookaburra]

The hills are long and steady nothing mega steep :)
