Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. You may need to push your bike for some segments of this route. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Ascent to Torre d'Albercutx

Highlight • Climb

This “road” now consists mostly of gravel and potholes. It’s pretty dangerous for racing bikes and not without danger on the descent either.

Coll de Golf Course Ramp

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This short 12% steep ramp can be uncomfortable again after an extended training lap. But then it goes down to the coast - if the strong north wind doesn't demand additional strength.

The weather forecast didn't look good for today. Strong wind with gusts of up to 45 km/h. The strong wind drove away all the clouds. In exposed places you had to hold the handlebars tightly. The gusts were fierce. The wind snatched the cell phone from a "bus tourist". That also had to be held tightly today.

April 25, 2025,Cap Formentor: Pollença - Port d'Alcúdia

A panoramic route to the lighthouse at the northernmost point of the island – with spectacular views, short climbs, and ideal for an active rest day. Last day before Mallorca 312 – and it felt like all 8,500 participants were on this route today.
