      I’d love to see more practical bicycle travel videos. If I visit country X, what routes and climbs are good, how bicycle friendly are the towns, will trains/buses/ferries between cities let me take my bike on board, cultural dos and don’ts as a cyclist, ideal seasons and seasons to avoid if you want to ride in that country.

    3. Lars on

      Absolutely beautiful!
      However, I‘d argue that the Route in reverse is even more stunning:
      Col de Soller from the South is amazing, with all those hairpins. Then, you get to climb the biggest climb on Mallorca, the Puig Major (Tùnel de Monnabar). Sa Calobra is the same, which ever way you go about it, but coming up to Cap Formentor is one of the most stunning things, and a perfect way to end a ride.

      As always, GCN produces top drawer videos for us mere mortals to watch and drool over. Cracks me up how these riders can talk and ride at the same time! My lungs would fall out my arse if I attempted that! Now I am playing hooky from work and looking up ways to get from Phoenix, USA to Mallorca…..

    7. David Brody on

      I ride Mount Dessert Island every year in Maine and evey cyclists favorite climb is Cadillac Mountain……3mi 1000ft elevation gain with amazing views….must go!

      Just think all UK citizens used to have the right to live and work visa free in this paradise. The EU was full of similar wonderful landscapes which used to offer us the opportunity to live and work visa free. No more what a f,,,,,,,,, tragedy.

    10. paul Astin on

      The best cycling experience I have had. We did Formentor Lighthouse, Sa Calobra, Soller and I didn't stop smiling all day! Beautiful roads, spectacular views, iconic climbs and fantastic food. The beer wasn't bad either.

    11. Kevin Moore on

      Last time I went up soller was 30 years ago and it was a bit of a nightmare with traffic, I remember getting stuck behind big buses, must be amazing now there’s a tunnel so much less traffic. Would love to go back one day!

    12. Mambo Mambo on

      Love the video and really nice ride!!Hank looks like a little kid when he rides next to Connor hahaha, he is just sooo tall, I'm amazed he finds frames that fit him!!

    13. Lowlife Scum on

      Amazing channel just subscribed .. I’m new and Conner caught my eye .. I’m 6’4”… and you seem quite tall ? What size frame do you ride or recommend for me ?

    14. Steve Mc on

      Excellent, inspiring and envious video, Thank You. Ive been to Majorca with the bike not as many times as I would like, due to having a family now, but the joy of it all comes flooding back with your video. Roll on lottery win and I would deffo buy a place out there!

    27. FlyingVie on

      But you need some fool to take you with the car to the lighthouse !!! Driving with the car to starting points on Mallorca is real BULLSHIT !!!

    33. David Carter on

      Just did this same route in reverse, that descent to soller was incredible and the climb up Puig Major the most challenging climb I’ve taken, but the rewards are spectacular.

    39. Dewiz on

      Yup. Sa Calobra was on my Bucket List. .. in 2018, almost literally, since I climbed it with Atrial Fibrillation. No KOM for me. I had come from Alcudia via la Feminia, and returned via la Batalla. It was the day of a violent rain storm that took a number of lives in the south east. I beat the rain by a few minutes.

    40. mlee6050 on

      #AskGCN hoping here to ask, I once saw you cycling on a route/road east France that had lots of turns, I forgot the name of it and it is my dream to cycle on, believe either travel or bird flies was 70miles from west border

    42. Kani on

      Don’t come to Mallorca to cycle. The roads were not meant to be shared with non motor vehicles. You endanger and majorly annoy anyone who’s driving normally. There’s already enough tourists with rented cars not knowing how to respect basic principles of traffic laws. Just cycle in France or on the mainland.

    43. Sophie K on

      Pro tip – if your scared of puig major – NEVER i repeat never!! Think that the gravel route on the second lake is the better option – we were in gravel and an actual hiking trail with our roadbikes and my s-phyre shoes for 3 1/2 hours scared to death partly – just take the extra uphill meters for your own sake ❤️

    44. Flint Westwood on

      I just got back from Mallorca last week. First time cycling there. Did Coll De Sa Batala, Coll De Femenia, Sa Calobra and Cap De Formentor. Absolutely awesome. Your video makes those climbs look relatively easy. Sa Calobra was the toughest climb I've ever done. Hard graft indeed. Great video as always 👍

    46. Miguel Ángel Simón Fernández on

      It may be cyclist's paradise but it's mallorcan's hell on earth with people living in the inner small towns locked in their houses because they can not do regular life because the riders take them hostage since they can use the small roads in inner Mallorca to go meet friends or buy food and goods on weekends. It's also hell for farmers who can not wait to their farm jobs because public roads are constantly used by private clubs who use them as their own private playground.
