Day 2's plan gets adapted - Chan and I on first Formentor ride - little cloudy, much less crowded than group ride later in week.
karmically balanced m:
Day 2 - first Formentor outing. Compared to 10 years ago, no easier, but return trip quite nice.

karmically balanced m:
Our starting point on Day 3 - unloading the big van.

At the top of Coll des Pescadors - photo opportunity! Looking across Alcudia bay in the background.

I'm an outlier for eschewing hi-vis wear, though I argue my jersey has high visual impact!
karmically balanced m:
Coming down the switchbacks....
karmically balanced m:
Karen coming down from our starting point - super fun switchbacks!
karmically balanced m:
A mini Coll - some of us climbed this on the way back to collect vehicles, perfectly pleasant.
karmically balanced m:
In the narrow streets of the "slow-living" town of Arta.
karmically balanced m:
On the rail trail "via verde" between Arta and Son Servera.

Advertising to cyclists with a big sign on the trail convinced us to visit Restaurant Binicanella - including nice garden.
karmically balanced m:
Restaurant even had its own exclusive greeter!
karmically balanced m:
Mike and I are dessert aficionados - even at lunch!
karmically balanced m:
Epic planning sessions - maps, elevations, plotting galore!

Fancy yacht in the marina at Port de Pollenca, and a favourite card game back home.

Another interesting looking boat in the marina - motor yacht division.

Pollenca Bay in the background - and kitesurfers.
