More biking …

For a number of years I participate in the organized tours of my club  RSG and for the last 3-4 years, I organize the tours (RSG-Website, in German). Recently Brigitte who organizes the Holzgerlinger Lauftreff asked me if I could organize the routes for a few bike enthusiasts on Thursdays in the evening. So I volunteered spontaneously.

Last Thursday was the first tour, and I think it went pretty well. Every new group must learn a bit the coordination. We “lost contact” twice, and were a little disorganized to find us again, so finally we arrived back in two groups. Nothing that could not be solved the next time. The speed was a little bit high at times, again communication is something that can be learned 🙂

Although the forecast is really cold, we’ll do the second turn tomorrow. Looking forward to it and hope that people will come again and were not discouraged by the first time.

Pausing…

These first three days were really hard for me. Having skipped training mostly during winter, yes of course: my own fault, and then on day 2 90km and day 3 111km with altitudes of 1420m and 1700m, and with respectable speed.

OK, three days training and then one day for regeneration… As if planned that way, it started to rain today in the morning. We’ll see, if it clears and drys, maybe a few slow km later.

Soller Pass and Sa Calobra

Today was the spectacular stage of this years training camp. First we rode via Bunyola over the Soller Pass. To start the day, very nice tour, the climb was quite good to do, not steep. And also a very nice view, as you can see on the picture…

Down from the pass to the town of Soller and the buying tickets for the boat to go to Sa Calobra, which is THE climb, on 700m from sea level. Pictures will follow.

Update: created a biking picture page.

In total we did about 137km and 1800m altitude today.

Around Inca

The tour today goes inside the Island, via Muro, Sa Pobla, Campanet, Selva, Lloseta, Binissalem, Inca, and from there upwards onto the Puig d’Inca. Then back via Inca, Llubí, Sineu, Maria de la Salut, Santa Margalida to Can Picafort.

The pictures from Puig d’Inca: in the direction of the coastal mountains, where we are heading next week, and the other direction towards Can Picafort. Nice view.
