Mallorca Camp 2016 (1/3) - Finally we found winter, only where we expected it the least...

We arrived on a sunny and blue-skyed Saturday afternoon, a mixed group of 6 Dynamos and 6 Praetorius riders heading for a large villa near Port Pollensa.
Unfortunately, it was too late to get a ride in on the arrival day.
Even more unfortunate, the following day was grey, wet, cold and miserable (even worse than winter in London). Some of us still wanted to get out.
So, this was my first ever proper climb since I quit cycling in 1992: Sa Calobra
it basically means 30-40mins of riding continuously uphill, with hairpins and average 8%
(I loved it so much that I did it 3 times in the first 2 days)
