Description:
Route starting in Monnaber (
www.monnaber.com
) that visits very beautiful countryside always following quiet roads in the Raiguer area . The 3 climbs on the beginning makes the difficult of the route, specially the Coll d’Orient. The last part is completely flat and across a very nice wine yards area around Binissalem and Consell. You can stop for a small wine taste in Consell (Bodegas Ribas) or Binissalem (Jose L. Ferrer).
Climbs:
- Puig de Santa Llucia: 1.7km 6% (Mancor). You can skip it but we recommend because is not very popular but is beautiful and quiet.
- Tofla: 1.5km 6% (Lloseta). Classic explosive climb. Easy start and steep end.
- Orient (Alaró side): 6.9km 4% (Alaró). Fantastic climb, that ends in a mountain valley (Orient). Is not a difficult climb but have a surprise on the second part (past Orient). Be careful with the corners in the descent to Bunyola because sometimes there are humidity and the grip is not the best.
Coffe break:
Cycling Planet in Alaró is a great cycling coffee owned by David Muntaner (World track champion) and Albert Muntaner. In the coffee you can enjoy of the cycling atmosphere, and repair the bicycle or buy some components.
