I've never ridden in a group before. Is that ok?
Sure! If you haven't ridden in a group you'll gain this much-valued skill while joining us in Mallorca. We recommend you begin the week in a slighlty steadier group than you are used to. Once you have the skills nailed down you can move up the groups.
Should I hire a bike or bring my own bike?
Should I hire a bike or bring my own bike?
This is totally up to you. If you prefer a hassle-free trip and aren't used to travelling with your bike then hiring might be better for you. However, if you have a nice bike and feel comfortable riding it, you'll love gliding around the smooth roads on your favourite steed.
