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.

Inca to Puig Major and Soller
A great day to ride!
This was not planned to go all the way to Soller but the day was so great that I just kept going,
After a brief lunch in Soller I headed up and over the Col to Santa Maria

Marratxi to Santa Eugenia to Sineu
Started out well but ended up at a gate and had to track back and loop around the mountain on busy pavement.
Turned out to be a great ride thru the countryside albeit on some chunky single track between 2 farms.
Not gravel bike friendly on less you don’t mind…

Sineu to Sa Teulera loop
This is a posting about a ride probably not to do.
Once I got to the mountain all of the trails were pretty bad due to the winds this year.. As much carrying the bike over fallen trees as anything else.
At one point I passed by the trail 3x…
