Copenhagen Biker Bandits: A small trip to Mallorca

In October 2011 I went with my great friend Sergio to Mallorca for a small ride around the island. We arrived with no bikes but managed to scavenge two rather shitty ones to do the ride. We started out by staying at a friends house for a couple of days before setting off on the trip. We had no tent or any other luxury items of the likes but we did have sleeping bags and a Trangia kitchen.
We headed up to the northern mountain range to start hard and as always mountains are both pleasant and unpleasant. But mountains are my favorite place to ride. The scenery and the physical pressure is a great mind blowing experience!
The first night we slept in a kids playground in the outskirts of a small village. Chilly.
Second day we chose to go by a donkey trail. Big mistake. We had to drag the bikes a long way and I especially was completely smashed after. But after a quick break we decided to tackle the puig major. The highest spot on the island. And we found an absolutely great camping spot.
Then I don't really remember what happened the following days but at some point we met up with our friend Carles in a beach where climbing is the big thing. But it was a bit late for climbing so we just cooked and went to sleep. Carles had brought a tent but because of some brain-fart we opted not to put it up. And what do you know. Rain! So frantically setting it up in the darkness ending up soaked to the bone. And then... After finally falling asleep a bloody cow comes along eating our food and stepping on the tent. God damn animals. God damn nature! Horrible night but ok fun during the next day.
We grabbed our climbing shoes and went around the small inlet climbing and swimming. Super idyllic!
Here again my memory disappears and all I can do is to show some pictures and recommend Mallorca as a great cycling destination for a short trip. Very beautiful and not too demanding.
