Thanks to Louis and Jen for letting us join them on their festive break, we enjoyed a week on the beautiful island of Mallorca.
Stayed in a wonderful cottage in the mountains in Fornalutx. There wasn't much rubber left on the hire car tyres after attacking the drive on several occasions!
The Mallorcan cycling is amazing.
Friendly gradients meant uphill sections were very sustained but doable and enjoyable and the downhills were epically awesome. Stunning scenery everywhere and Tim enjoyed exploring the mountains on foot.
After a veritable feast at the cottage, New Year's Eve saw us in the village square supping cava and dancing til the wee small hours with the locals at the outside disco!
Fornalutx
Lunch on arrival before being escorted to our accommodation!
Boxing day view from the tunnel 800m and 10km of 5% up from cottage. 50 minutes of up for 15 down! Thanks for the loan of your bike and shoes, Louis!
The day we bailed our group walk due to hail and wind!
Interesting and gnarly parking...
Playing 5s and 3s in the local bar. Timmy had to pick up all of the bones!
My steed for the week; same as I ride at home but the 2014 model
A cold and windy day at Port de sa calobra
Time for a pic on the col dels reis
The loveliest of guard perros in the village
View towards Torrent des Pareis

Happy New Year 2015!
New Year's Day walk from Port de Pollença
There's a natural window in this picture...
Here it is up close
Tim bewildered at the spine chilling vertical drop of 350m into the Med... I stayed well back.
Lost in translation?!
Pyrenees next?
