This years event is just coming up so it's probably full, but if you fancy riding it, or the shorter version (which still does the Tramuntana mountains) you need to get in early when next years entries open in the autumn. As some of you know I have been working as a ride leader on the island for a number of years for Sun Velo who are ideally based in the Prinsotel Dorada hotel opposite the start/finish area of the 312, and they have also won the team award for the past 4 years. They do a package for those wanting to ride the event and usually have an allocation of 100 entries, these get booked up in November time I believe. However, they do the full cycle holiday thing spring and autumn ranging from training camp down to social touring, all their ride leaders are 1st aid qualified and have CTC/BC leader qualifications and most have some coaching qualifications too, for example I've been British Cycling BCCS coach registered since 1974, ABCC and BAWLA coaching too, plus Sports massage. I may be with Sunvelo from mid October this year as we are in Puerto Pollensa on holiday from the 1st to 12th.
For anyone wanting a holiday in Puerto Pollensa with or without bike then the place we usually stay, a 3 bed, 2 bathroom apartment practically on the beach, is available from Maria at Simbad restaurant for 1,300 euro per wk this July 15th-31st and August 1st-24th, or this May 1st-14th at 650 euro per week. Transfers from the airport can be booked with 2go cycling inc bikes, I think they also do bike hire, so do Pro Cycle and also the Pinarello shop in the town. Check out all the websites and decide for yourselves. There are rides out from Pro Cycle on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and also from Tolo's restaurant on the sea front.
