I’m out in Calpe with the road bike to kick start some proper training; today we’re cycling a monster 137km route with 2500m+ of climbing on some of the nicest roads you will find in the Costa Blanca region. A seriously tough, but incredible day on the bike.

  1. I spent November in Mallorca and I was surprised how windy it was. Made bombing descents tough. Almost blew off the side of a cliff doing Cap de Formentor and I don't exactly have super deep wheels. Still legendary riding but had to play it safer in spots I wasn't expecting to have to. Great video. Maybe Calpe is my next stop.

  2. Something else this, Dan. Footage just looking so clean lately. I was out there myself a few weeks ago and I'm gutted I missed these roads. Oh well, will just need to go back 👀
