Mallorca 2012 Day 1

The first day started with bad news from our friends and fellow cycling vacationers Sue and Dennis.
What? They are not coming! Serious health issues with Dennis' leg, that turned out later not being
life threatened. Thank God, we'll miss them dearly. Get well soon Dennis.

Besides that, Julia and I went for a nice first day of riding through the beautiful country side
around Petra and concurred a short but steep climb to the Santuri di Betlem at a mere 1000 feet elevation.

The weather has been great so far, not as warm as usual, 69F in the morning with a stiff breeze more feeling like 60F. Tomorrow Franz and Lisa are coming, so short ride in the morning with an afternoon airport pick-up.
