I hope you find your way here Steve. I will say that I'm glad it wasn't our first stop. It was helpful to work up to it.

Thanks Rachel. I was worried about tackling this terrain loaded but it was manageable, just took more time.

I really enjoyed the journal entries from your time here Eva. There were so helpful in the planning stages.

It's been dreamy for sure Paula. I hope you are getting some good riding days back home.

We hope to return too David. It's seems to be popular with Cycle Blazers. It would be so much fun to score a meetup next time.

This really was a beautiful ride. Short, but you could add on to it if you are looking for more.

That's helpful to know Mike. It would be nice if we could find some smaller tubes. The bigger ones are a pain to stuff into the tire.

Yes, and almost covering the poor fig tree.

Oleander I believe.

I've had several diamond frame riding female friends of a certain age comment that one of the places padding disappears from with age is the sit bones. They agreed that previously comfortable bicycle seats became mysteriously uncomfortable.

I spent considerable time at home recently, looking over the sad selection of olives. The $7.99 jar that I chose was nothing compared to olives in Spain. Like you, I developed a taste for them.

Lol, a pack of donkeys befriended me on that corner. They were so sweet but were disappointed I didn’t offer them any apples.

Those ridged concrete surfaces are a bear to cycle on. No fun going up or down 😜.

Woo-hoo, way to go you two! What a fabulous day of climbing. Full of beautiful scenery, ocean vistas, baby goats, glorious smooth pavement, perfect weather and a killer downhill to Soller. It’s among my all-time favourite rides. Enjoy your well-deserved rest in Soller.

Thanks Eva. We just glanced at a few pages of your Mallorca blog and feel a bit better about it. When we get home, in 3 weeks, we will studt it more carefully and make some routong decisions, or not, for the spring.
