What are the suggested dates for 2026 trip?
Most club members are planning for May 16th to the 23th. Please be aware that the Ironman event is on May 9th 2026. Some members do the whole week others just part week. Please speak to your ride leader to see if any discount codes are available.
Is this an official club event/trip?
It is not “run” by the club, it’s just a lot of members turn up and go out cycling together, so it’s important you know a group of fellow members that are going, that you can cycle with, as it’s all “unofficial”. Also, invite others you like cycling with (and get on with).
What is it all about?
It’s a week cycling every day in Mallorca on Decent roads, good weather and plenty of climbing.
What to do if you and your cycling buddies want to go to Mallorca for a cycling week?
First, check if your cycling group buddies are also going , you wouldn’t want to turn up and find only Frith riders when you’re Smalldean pace rider and likewise the only Aston rider among Whiteleaf riders. Although we tend ride more socially in Mallorca that the Chilterns.
How long you go for is up to you?
Go for the whole week, a couple of days or something in between.
How are rides organised?
Each day is organised the night before or reorganised at breakfast depending on various factors, (drinking might be one of them). Most of the day is spent cycling with a long lunch out somewhere and then cycle back to the hotel for drinks and supper in the evening.
Booking
To organise the trip, one has to book the flights to Mallorca, book the accommodation, take your own bike or book the hire of a bike and again make sure you are going with other people of your own pace (and they don’t mind).
Flights
Book your own flights for the dates you are going to Palma, Mallorca. (Check the hotel has availability before booking the flights).
And many people get together to book a shuttle/taxi to the resort from the airport. as its about a 70 min drive. if you have bike boxes then take this into account for the transport.
Accommodation

Everyone that’s been says to book “half board” as everyone stays at the hotel after cycling all day.
Check there are rooms available first and reserve before booking the flight, as I’ve heard they are getting full
Bike Hire
If you are hiring bikes , the shop is on site and bikes are well maintained and good quality
Usually, the bike are hireable from around February before.
