Collecting colls in Majorca

I hate broken promises, so here's the long-delayed brief account of our 6 days cycling in Majorca in April/May.

The most impressive record of the week was Liz's descent of Sa Calobra - 17 exhilarating minutes captured on video of her skill and daring negotiating the switchback road at 30mph or more. Look out for the encounter with the coach halfway through.

We had 2 days of torrential rain when we arrived. The rest of the week we rode up to 80 miles a day (ok, one day we did 20) under a blazing sun through lanes and mountain roads, 'digging in' for mountain climbs,  ascending to Coll d'Orient, Coll d'Honor, Coll dels Reis then sweeping down to the lush plain and a fast route across country back to our base in Port de Pollenca.

Back next year!  Here are some pics
