Random gravel ride around Ljubljana
Rain is expected for the next 2 days so I took random tour around the outskirts of town.. Includes the castle, some great groomed gravel and a trip in the forest to find a WW2 German observation platform remains.

Gravel ride around Ljubljana
This was actually an attempt to follow another route but where the loops crossed over things got confused and I followed the wrong route. I headed back and went into the woods and it was an awesome day 99.9% gravel worthy. There were a couple of rooted downhill spots where…

Church of St Nicholas loop from Celje
A nice loop(ish) ride from Celje.
I took a little detour on the way up the climb to the church but if you don’t want that just stay left at the gate instead of riding around it

Genova to San Biagio
I was hoping to get to the top where the refuge was but another 4km at 10% was too much for my loaded bike.
This route stops where I turned around

Portocolom to Manacor
This ride started out disappointingly because all the paths I tried ended up with gates9r fences, but finally I ended up on a feeder that led me to one of the Gran Ruta routes and the day was saved.
I recommend this route from Portocolom.

Sa Pablo from Formentor Lighthouse
The clouds rolled in whilst I was at the lighthouse so this ride took the faster roadie route back to Sa Pablo.
I didn’t stop to take many photos.

Sa Pablo to Formentor Lighthouse
The day started out cold and foggy in the beautiful gravel and backroad paths.. Just before the climb up toward Fomentor out came the sun for a beautiful ride to the lighthouse.

Esporles Square loop from Palma
This route adds a climb to Mola de Sobramunt.
The climb isn’t real roadie friendly but any decent gravel, bike will do.
On the way down I had a more gravel route planned but came up against bike restrictions on 1 trail and a gate on the other.. You can…

Biniagual Village loop from Sineu
A nice relatively flat ride.
It all went upside down at about 46km.
The trail kinda disappeared at the parking area.. Ended up carrying down the hill and pushing across a newly plowed field. I did eventually find what USED to be a trail.. Ended up in an old lady’s…

Marratxi to Puig de Randa and Sineu
This was planned to Algaida and back but they were burning trash so the route changed.
At Km 13 next to the golf course was a beautiful single track thru the woods. More on the MTB side than gravel but with the right tires it is gravel bike friendly.
Had…

Soller to Santa Maria
After a long day up to Puig and down to Soller it was up and over the Col to the train station in Santa Maria.
It was nice to get out of traffic and back on some mist gravel.
