YouTube Video

I've just spent the week in Majorca and did this last Friday, of course our descent was much tidier than this bunch of amateurs

Big climbs in the North of the island, spectacular scenery and miles of smooth flat road in the South, you can understand why pro teams train there, I want to go back, now!!!
