Coll dels Reis to Sa Calobra

I've always wanted to cycle up the climb from Sa Calobra to the Coll dels Reis (682m) and despite holidaying and cycling on Mallorca for many years, I'd never plucked up the motivation to do it - until this year (2023). The challenge is that it's not just the 9km of intense climb - it's the 40km of cycling and climbs I have to travel from our house in Pollenca to get to the start!

I recognise that not everyone wants to do 40km in one ride - especially as there are also several stiff climbs, so I've split this journey into several (x11) smaller segments.

This part of the journey covers the road from the summit of Coll dels Reis down to the port of Sa Calobra itself. If you're looking for a workout then maybe give this video a miss (try the [uphill version] instead!) however this ride is a huge amount of fun. The trick in filming this is not to get caught up by the slower cars and buses! I just about managed this fot the full length!

This [playlist] covers the return journey and the following videos cover the outward journey(also covered by this [playlist]).
