Days start with the hotel breakfast buffet before the group splits by ambition and ability. The guides set routes so that there is a sensible option whether you want a gentle 30 km spin or a 150 km day in the mountains, and the terrain around Alcudia gives you both — climbs inland and flatter roads along the coast. Rides include stops in small towns for coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice and food. Lunches are not included in the price, so you buy those yourself along the way.

Evenings follow a rhythm: information about the following day's cycling, then a shared dinner at the hotel. The dinner buffet comes with drinks included — water, soft drinks, house wine and beer. The guides put real weight on the time before and after the rides, and on the group getting to know each other, so solo travellers are as welcome as pairs.

What separates this from a generic Mallorca cycling week is the guiding team. Trond Dalsheim and Øystein Fundingsrud are the owners of Family Sports Club in Askim and teach cycling, yoga, Body Balance, strength, rowing and stretching. Both have competed as cyclists in Norway and abroad. Lena R. and Jens Martin Reiersølmoen complete the guide team; Jens Martin rides a lot on Mallorca, knows the island well, and is chairman of Froland IL, where the club has built a new ski and multi-use facility.

Bikes are not included. You can hire from Wheels Sport (Sebastian) — all hire bikes have disc brakes and electronic gears — or bring your own, with transport on the flight and bus to the hotel costing NOK 1,100 return. Hire options run from an aluminium-wheeled carbon road bike with Shimano 105 Di2 to a carbon-wheeled Ultegra Di2 build, plus road and hybrid e-bikes.

The base is Hotel Bahia de Alcudia, a 4-star hotel with an outdoor pool and a large garden with several terraces, 200 metres from Alcudia beach. Every room has its own bathroom, air conditioning and a terrace or balcony. The hotel restaurant serves a varied breakfast and dinner buffet.
