@@tongotongo3143 come on …. This channel is the best thing since sliced bread 🫶

That's great, thank you!

That's great 😀

😬😄

Thanks a lot!

👍😀

Glad you like them!

Thank you Alex! 🤗

There was such a great atmosphere!

Thank you!!

Cycling paradise

I hope the weather improves, such a pity!

😅😅

It gives a great sense of achievement

Thanks to the photographer 😂

I can't control it 😂😂

I'm back now, enjoy Mallorca!

Thank you! I believe that's estimated, don't have a power meter or heart monitor

Appreciate, thank you

Absolutely!

I don’t think they are friends. They are just random strangers on a prepaid tourism destination.

@@tongotongo3143 I suppose you don't follow any videos of this channel

It was great to improve from last year, yes. We should hit the Ring again, not sure about the pulling though 😂

On that one there is also a lot of mental strength needed

Yes, the first time I descended Sa Calobra it also felt never ending and I did not enjoy the ride up as I was still nervous. This time I enjoyed it a lot more, did Sa Batalla more relaxed and was careful on the twisty descend. The climb felt easier this time.

Thank you!! It is raining also here in London... That one is an SRX Pro Dome, great lightweight long sleeve jersey.

Awesome efforts all. On ROUVY with a 32 cassette that takes me 55mins. But at 67, that’s probably OK 😅

@@grahambowes756 very well done indeed!!

👍👍

The wheels are Winspace Lún Hyper R45 with GP5000 25mm tyres, RideNow TPU tubes

@@fede1275 Interesting, just checked out their website. Heard about them on the Nero podcast. Am angling for carbon wheelset for 2013 Supersix but not sure about the break clearance. Great video btw.

@@jamessalter5330 I believe that will work on modern brake calipers, mine are no problem with 105

@@fede1275 Great, thanks.

By the way, you have been mentioned twice in the last few Nero podcasts (as I'm sure you already know)

For me that I can fit a cycling trip once a year Mallorca seems a great destination. Other suggestions?

It does get busy but you can find quiet routes/climbs. Likes of Sa Colabra will be really busy. I rode it last year end of Oct and it was pretty quiet but if you go during April or Sept it will be rammed with cyclists, tourists, buses etc. I was over on Mallorca a couple weeks ago and was staying in the south so did 5 days riding from there. Some lovely climbs etc but away from busy areas so was great. As for Mallorca, the beauty is a short flight from UK and perfect weather(usually) for cycling on some great roads with awesome scenery. However, everyone is different so what some like others won't. Like most things in life.

@@fede1275 Anywhere that is not full of tourists.
