It's that time of year when we normally consider downing tools and heading to Majorca for a week to 10 days of riding in dry, warm weather. A few people have asked if it's happening this year so this thread is for those who are interested.
Normally we go to Santa Ponsa and stay at the Pionero which gives us access to the coastal roads and inland climbs of the south west of the island, the larger climbs around Puig Major and Soller requiring an all day ride to get there and back - so one of the suggestions this year was to consider an alternative base further north at Porta Polenca - which is where most of the 'organised' training camps tend to stay as it's closer to the big 'uns. This has certain advantages and the only negative I can foresee is that airport transfers would be longer and more expensive.
Other issues to be raised so far are trying to keep the trip away from any ACC organised events and I think that means the middle two weeks of April was thought to be favorite.
Chances are I can't make it this year due to work commitments but I'm trying to remedy that and hope to be there - but it's the easiest thing in the world to organise and it only takes a handful of riders to make a very enjoyable trip, so post here if you're interested and we'll see what happens.
