5 amazing cycling holidays you need in your life

• Ride the mountains of Mallorca

If you’re after a taste of luxury in between the pedalling, Marsh-Mallows might just have it nailed, with luxury weekend breaks and extended cycling holidays in Mallorca for all levels.

The island boasts the perfect cyclist’s escape – hairpin bends, sweeping descents, breathtaking views of the mountains and rugged coastline, and a host of challenging climbs along quiet Mallorcan mountain roads.

Dubbed a ‘holiday, not a training camp’, you take on the beautiful Tramuntana Mountains with fully supported 60-mile rides that leave at sunrise and get you back to the pool for lunch.

For the hardy hill-lovers, a must-do upcoming trip this October 2nd is a charity Time Trial up Sa Calobra (the famous climb in Mallorca that Cycling Weekly has named ‘the perfect climb’). In aid of Cancer Research UK, event numbers are limited to just 100 riders, and promises to be just as enticing as it sounds. (If massive hill climbs are your thing, of course.)
