Iam a bit envy š
ayyyy so hyped for the video!
'gaff' hahaha LOVE IT.
Great video, looking forward to see your next ride. It is a beautifull part of Mallorca, we stayed once AlcĆŗdia, but that was long before I started serious cycling.
Woohoo! Iāve been waiting for this video to drop and I'm very excited for you.
That closed road might have scrapped the loop you planned, but honestly, thatās just part of the adventureāthose detours always make for the best stories later! I did notice it looked a bit brisk out there, too. I totally get the struggle of trying to pack light while guessing the weather; itās so hard to nail the kit perfectly every single time.
I caught a glimpse of your next route on Strava and it looks like an absolute blastācanāt wait to see the video for that one. By the way, how are you liking the new computer so far? Is it giving you good info and helping you navigate those new roads?
Looks like you're having an incredible time. Hopefully, Eva isnāt getting too jealous watching you out there having all this fun on the bike!
what a great, beautiful video man. This is great! Much love matey <3
love watching your videos buddy. cheers from Canada

I'm here now and it hasn't stopped raining! 22mm predicted for today so no cycling for me š¢
Great video man!! Where's the sun at? š
Beautiful country
Awesome video š¤© you have come so far now in your cycling journey and your videos quality is great š glad your having a great time on your bike ā¤ love watching you from here in Australia š¦šŗ
This is so cool. As someone that lives in California I'm very grateful to live somewhere that has gorgeous cycling spots as well as weather. But I'd absolutely love to do a trip to Mallorca! Great video.
Really good video! Gaff is such a British word that I was almost sure it's never been used outside of the UK š Nice to see your journey as a cyclist, inspiring stuff mate.
If you want a cyling buddy for next year in Mallorca I'd love to join!!!š
Great vid, well done. Looks like you got lost in Selva?
Good video, well edited and you had some good drone shots too. Well done š
Brilliant video. I did my first and only proper cycling spin to Cap de Formentor last year. Mallorca is an amazing island. I can't wait to go back.
Nice! Video. Watch out for the music you picked. Itās copyrighted
Small tip, top tube and saddle bags often reduce aero drag whereas handlebar bags and panniers can at A LOT of deag
Great video, and your excitement and enthusiasm was just bursting out, made me jealous just watching you on your first trip
Great video! I've been fortunate enough to cycle in France (Morzine), Italy (Bassano del Grappa), Spain (Mallorca and Ronda) And on a road bike Mallorca was the best by far. We stayed in Soller because of its proximity to Sa Calobra but the whole trip was amazing. We did go in the middle of winter which made it a bit challenging in terms of the cold coming from South Africa but the riding was crazy good everywhere.
Nice video.
I am a quite experienced rider now, been riding for almost 30 years.
But I am not a competitive one.
I rather plan a normal holiday with a city or somewhere I want to visit than a good cycling destination.
Like going to Nice, France, a city with lots of good restaurants, cafes, bars, museums, shops and things to do, but also good cycling options.
Unless you are pro rider I donĀ“t really understand why people go to places like Calpe, certain places in Mallorca and pure cycling destinations.
Cause other than good roads for cycling it is almost nothing to do there.
Super good video, love Majorca best place to cycle!!
Nice vid man. Enjoyed your enthusiasm. Greets from the Netherlands
Congratulations! Your enthusiasm has gained yourself a new subscriber š
did you bring your own bike there or did you rent it ?
3:25 This is an endearing moment, Iām looking forward to the rest of the ride and video! Have fun out there!
awesome video man, i can really tell how excited you are there is no better feeling!!
Well done Dom for getting out there. I remember our first time in Majorca and thinking "Why has it taken so long to do this for the first time?". Amazing riding, and looking forward to watching moreš
