Day 9

Highlight of this years tour was a climb up to or ride down to Sa Calobra, located in the Tramuntana mountains 60 miles from the HQ @ Font de Sa Cala. Taking the north west corridor through the very busy
towns of Can Picafort and Alcudia, we started our climb with a 7.8km uphill to the Monastery of  Lluc.
Winding roads through a beautiful canyon up to the top, followed by 9km a roller coaster ride to the junction to Sa Calobra. Unfortunately for the peleton, not enough time to ride down or back up.

The Cappuchino group took the support vehicle and were able to ride down the switch backs to the beach of Cala Sa Calobra.

Another great day!
