New plans, new town and riding when sick

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

What do you think of Channel Memberships? I wouldn’t be taking any of my normal content away, I’d just be adding extras for those that would like it

[@jasboehlke]

Jason Boehlke 0 seconds ago I would pay to support a channel, you are motivating and ever effervescent, even when ill, and I like your insights, go for it.

[@deblordoutdoors5783]

I’d definitely be up for that. I subscribe to GCN for the additional films etc, but still watch their free stuff too. I’m always searching for extra content (would rather watch this stuff than TV in my downtime) and happy to support that financially.

[@phillippitts6294]

I’m sure you will definitely have subscribers

[@Vespagt250]

I would pay to support this channel, love your work and brilliant attitude you bring to KZbin!

[@MsLizzylaw]

I love your content but I’ll be honest I wouldn’t pay a subscription - is that the idea? (half my income seems to disappear to my various subscriptions and I can’t keep adding to them).

[@MrSparkyAprilia]

Favourite road ride in Mallorca was Cap de Formentor, much prefer to Sacalobra. And there a coffee shop at three light house! We're heading off to Calpe the first week of November. It will be my first trip there!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Enjoy! Would love to visit Calpe

[@eleanorbox1954]

I've just got back from Mallorca. Lighthouse is closed and there's a road block so the traffic was horrendous. Sa Calobra was stunning as always and the freshly squeezed orange juice shack on way back is so good.

[@arthuritus5752]

Love the videos. Ive done years of endurance sports.If you are ill then in my opinion the most effective thing to do is stop training completely, otherwise you will never recover quickly. I always say be ill like you train…do it properly! Take to your bed/sofa. Eat what your body craves and do not be tempted to exercise. I had the horrendous sore throat thing last week. Couple days off work and definitely no training and I’m over it.

[@HarryFenton6124]

I agree. The body needs rest to recover properly. You can make yourself properly ill if you try to train through it. I have learnt over the years.

[@greglewis196]

Just back from a week in Mallorca. The costal road heading SW from Banyalbufar is perhaps the most beautiful cycling I’ve ever done. And the ride out to the lighthouse at Cap de Formentor is simply epic. Go early (before 9) as the traffic picks up after. Enjoy.

[@Trevor.Adams640]

I’ve been to Fuerteventura twice. The first time we hired road bikes, the second time we took our own. We stayed at Caleta de Fuste, but hired bikes from LifeCycles in Corralejo. There’s plenty of gravel riding if that’s what you want to do, but the roads are really nice and quiet. It’s flatter on the eastern side and hillier in the west. The hilly roads around Betancuria are great and you do a decent loop with several long climbs. The coast road down the eastern side, is busy but once you get off that, the roads are pretty quiet. There are some really nice villages with cafes - such as la Oliva, a really nice cafe cake shop in Antigua. Other interesting places are Tuineje, Pajara, Gran Tarajal, Pozo Negro.

[@CyclingAdventuresUK]

Majorca is FAB. I will be taking my group to Puerto Pollensa next March. I would recommend the road from Puerto Pollensa to the Cap de Formentor which is spectacular.

[@CyclingAdventuresUK]

GCN have just released a video on Majorca which might inspire you for your day-off ride Juliet

[@michaeltmcca]

I hope that you are feeling better soon, take it easy! Thank you....

[@chriszacaroli5683]

Can’t help with bike riding in Mallorca but, always packed the trainers and ran along the bay in Puerto Pollensa and in the old town of Pollensa up the Val de Colonya . Salcombe ice cream is the best and we were their last week plus, go and see Andy at The Salcombe Coffee Co. Great coffee of course .

[@smefour]

Those casual days are the best, jump on a go anywhere MTB, wear a Tee shirt, baggy shorts, comfy shoes on flats and just see places and hang out.. love it!

[@MrRod767]

BTW not sure if you’ve linked it up as yet, if new to Brixham. There’s a great bridlepath trail up to Hillhead , which links from the trail from the beach on st Mary’s road to bypass Milton st. Once on the downhill on kennels road you can choose to take the trail left to Greenaway...perhaps take the boat crossing to Dittisham FB inn, and beyond, or turn right on the downhill, past Alston farm to Churston and the pub. Then cut through cross country to fishcombe cove and back to Brixham by the yacht club . Lots of opportunity for cycling, pub, sea swimming

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

I’ve done some of these bits but not put them all together. Good idea

[@id4edm]

Majorca is great for riding. I was only there once so didn’t get to a lot but did Sa Colabra which is stunning. The road all along the top of Serra de Tramuntana is beautiful - amazing views. Valledemossa is a cool little town to visit. Enjoy!

[@stevedines2636]

Hi Juliet, we went to Majorca in 2019, one of the best rides was up to the Lighthouse North of Puerto Pollensa 😎

[@malcontent_1]

You looked nice & happy today, despite being a bit sickly. BTW 👍 that quaint seaside town. But 👎 to channel memberships.

[@stephenjones6902]

Looks great in Brixham Juliet. Great video

[@bobhindlet9771]

Catching up on your videos, they are always so good, keep a smile on my face, so thank you and hope you are getting after your holiday.

[@danemery8312]

I'd recommend Freeride Madeira. Get an MTB and pay for some guiding. It's a beautiful island that's worth exploring.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you! Will check them out

[@madsmikkelsen5776]

Dan is right.. Freeride M is the place to go.. They are just great😊

[@rule3036]

Yep.... But its bloody steep!

[@dieterwood]

Yep. Done free ride Madeira too. Was epic. The trail along the cliff edges above the Atlantic is just epic.

[@riproaringblues]

Hi Juliet, We went to Madeira about 18 months ago on holiday (not cycling). Absolutely lovely place. Really hilly and mountainous so I would suggest a 'road' bike might work better. Lovely views from the high points and scenic roads. i guess you would fly in to Funchal, which is the main city and on the southern coast, this area is really cosmopolitan. Temperatures are better than britain but not as high as southern Europe. Road surfaces were good as I remember, with lots of areas to explore over the large island. The northern side of the island are supposed to be quite different again, a bit cooler (we didn't get there). Beaches we found seemed mainly stoney but the sea is definitely swimmable. There are lots of waterways around the mountain-side (like water gullies) called lavadas, I'm not sure if the path alongside these are meant for cycling but, this would give some great options for non-road cycling. I'd like to go back!

[@Lifetime-Memories]

Great video showing the beautiful sea side and the surrounding areas. Such a clean and natural landscape in UK.

[@rhysstatham7407]

Madeira is massively hilly good luck, Majorca lovely place to cycle, Feurtaventura lovely place to cycle can be bit windy though. love Gran Canaria my personal favourite.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Been to Gran Canaria many times, it certainly is good riding!

[@stephenjeffreys4219]

Thanks for taking me along - I really like the look of Brixham. And the icecream! Madiera is super lovely and super steep. I would suggest hiring a mountain bike and get some guiding

In Madeira you MUST go mountain biking with the guys from Freeride Madeira. Outstanding trails all over the island and really well guided.

I’m sick too! But probably in a different way ! Lol! Get well soon!

[@DrewAreYou]

Awesome headphones, I got them recently for riding and they are flawless! Feel better!

[@glennmarshall8146]

I have admired the Aftershokz Aeropex bone conduction headset for my riding, reasonably priced too. Nut at my age I needed to buy hearing aids and they came with Bluetooth so that I can listen to my iPhone music, Podcasts and Spotify while out. I find that the novelty wore off and I now prefer to ride in silence except for my RWGPS announcements. If it wasn’t for my terrible hearing though I would definitely have the Aftershokz though. On the paid content, some like it, some don’t. I don’t subscribe to any channels myself but I can appreciate that there is a value that every blogger has to put on their time, effort and equipment. Thank you for your free content and effort Juliet.

[@GCG1964]

On your day off , do a similar vid as today’s but with that Majorca twist. That widens interest that includes the bike and content that might also appeal to casual viewers who just enjoy a chill experience. As far as memberships, do what you must. Just stay real.

Port Soller is lovely if you get a day off or fancy somewhere to ride to. Its an awesome downhill from Puis Major into Soller but you've got to climb up to it first. Nice ride up from Pollenca. Also, don't ignore the east coast. Lovely routes and great beaches. As for membership, its got to be worth a punt but its also got to add more value to subscribers over and above your normal posts.

[@jamesdaniel9213]

Great channel 👍. I understand the attraction for you of membership, but I don't think it will bring in very worthwhile numbers. You might find yourself desperate to add value for your minority of paid members, whereas you could spend that effort growing your main channel for the benefit of the majority. I'd say focus on the current model for 'consumed' content (i.e. people watching your videos on KZbin for free), but by all means use the channel as a way to promote other content/services, such as tutorials, online classes, online readings/presentations... which can be paid. Anything interactive. Whatever you do - keep doing more of the same 😎, your channel is a pleasure to watch 😁.

[@mustysalih8336]

I enjoy your channel and would be ok with paying for one off specials like a long video of a multi day event or tour compared to a shorter video that’s free for example but it does need to be for one off extra special content rather than an ongoing subscription channel that just involves adding a bit to your current videos. Keep up the great content 👍.
