No problem. The climb itself is 10.1km long. You start along the MA 10 and you climb up to the descent. and then go back on yourself to climb Sa Calobra itself and finish at the sign as you see in the video. Its about a 60km ride from Palma and 50km from the other side of the island by Port de Pollença. I suggest you go out early doors as tour buses are allowed from 10:30am and they spoil the experience. Its better to have descended by before 10am. Advice as your a first time rider of it, dont underestimate the corners, it claims many victims of crashes due to those over cooking it and going over a barrier or into a car or tour bus. Its better to make it back in one piece. Also take enough water, they charge triple the price for it at Sa Calobra as they can, better off topping up your water at the respol Service station on the Lluc. Have an awesome ride and enjoy your time there.

It's pretty packed with traffic, as it's the only way up from Sóller, especially in peak season. In winter, it's quiet but wet due to the humidity. So not much of a win. There are much more fun and challenging climbs here on the Island that us locals know about.

Hey Ken, Awesome definitely do. The official climb starts in Randa itself. But the climb is pretty short so feel free to take it from both ways up ;)

Why would a road bike be any more difficult in Amsterdam than any other city? Flat bar town bikes with racks & whatnot are more convenient in any urban setting, & road bikes are mileage-makers. (shrug) Right?

Hey Craig, Awesome to hear you love the video, its the reason I do it so shows I'm doing it right :D I hope your trip in March is awesome too! There will be more videos including San Salvador and Puig Major in the coming months, been a bit backlogged with adventures haha!

@@Pedallingthroughlife Thanks! Looking forward to more! I have Sa Calobra, Soller, Puig, Cap Formentor as must do. But I'm aware of San Salvador and look forward to your perspective on that one.

It really is, hopefully you can come do it soon :)

Hey Russ, the weather here in march is pretty great, sunny, it’s not shorts and jersey for us but it’s 8 degrees as a low and around 17 as a high on average. April / May it’s starts to hot up more! Glad you enjoyed the video thank you for watching 🙏🏼

@@CyclingwithRuss you’ll be alright in May also, doesn’t get crazy hot until end of June :) a lot of people stay in Port de Pollença but I can highly recommend Port de Sóller or even middle of the island bs the mountains in Alaró

Its wonderful :D

Hey, that's awesome! you have mountains right on your doorstep like Andratx! But be very careful, in Winter the mountain roads are slippy due to the cold, dew and less sun on the shaded parts. You can also head out to Calvià and head on the passes to Puigpunyent. Komoot has tons of loops. Pas Normal runs rides on a Monday, Wednesday and alternative Saturdays. Rapha and tanlines do similar with Cafe Du Cyclist doing a gravel ride every Friday evening at 7pm :) Lots going on :)

@@FortunaCzNam You make great points comparing T110 vs. T900 but understand, unless you’re Chris Froome, the T900 for the typical crit racer or die hard rider is more carbon layup then you’ll ever need. Chris Froome can feel the difference between the carbon layups, but I’m sure he’ll say they’re marginal. It’s like the difference between a $150k Porsche Carreras 4S and a $180k Porsche 911 GTS, both cars have far more power and capabilities than 99% of the population needs or will ever reach maximum use. So the F7 with T900 will be more than be enough bike for almost all of us, there’s a diminishing return at the T1100 price point.

Hey, thanks for the comment, if you're looking to buy, a bike fitter will help you get the correct sizing. Some people can be 180cm for example but be a smaller size because they they have smaller arms etc etc :)

Thanks Eva appreciate you taking the time to watch :)

Thank you man, Its all about the small things! New video series: Mallorca Climbs Episode One: Coll De Sa Batalla is out now. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZxiY9WDmLyyc6M.html

Thanks man :D Damn 9$ for Ice haha I hope the next one you'll get some coffee ;)

Thank you, and thanks for dropping by the video!

Hey, this is a 54cm frame, but remember we are all different sizes even if the same height :)

Thanks for watching man 🙏🏼 it’s always the small details that count right? No matter how small we think they are!

@@Pedallingthroughlife true. Growing on this plaform is a long and funny journey. Plus creativity.

Thank you :D
