Mallorca · 7 days · From GBP 725 (indicative)
Days start from the hotel in Alcudia and head out on quiet roads. Day 1 is a 76km loop to Petra with 650m of climbing, plus an optional 5km climb to Bonany Monastery. Day 2 offers either the Orient ride (115km, 1,100m) over the Col d'Honor and down to Alaro, or a shorter 75km, 550m route to the market town of Sineu, where lunch is in the square and there's a track on the outskirts to test your legs.
Day 3 is the big one: 140km and 1,850m taking in the Col de Soller and Puig Major, Mallorca's highest point, with lunch in Soller and a descent into Pollenca. The shorter option is 65km and 500m out to Caimari through citrus orchards and olive groves. Day 4 lists a 112km, 900m route to Randa or a 37km, 300m ride to Cala St Vincent.
Day 5 is Sa Calobra — 115km and 2,000m, climbing via the Col de sa Batalla, descending to the town and then climbing the 10km back out, returning over the Col de Femenia. The shorter option takes in sa Batalla and Femenia for 70km and 800m. Day 6 finishes with Formentor Lighthouse: 65km, 900m, a 3km climb out of Puerto Pollenca, hairpins down through trees to the coast, and the lighthouse at the end, with a final lunch in Port de Pollenca.
The programme is a sample and can be adapted to the group's abilities. Rides are led by experienced ride leaders who manage the group and help with mechanical issues on the road. There are seminars from the team alongside the riding.
What separates this from a generic Mallorca cycling week is the women-only setup and the way each day is offered at two levels. You get the same roads and the same scenery whether you're chasing the long route or taking the shorter one, and the group stays together off the bike — rides generally end with refreshments near the beach.
