A day in Majorca:
8:00:
Breakfast at the table, croissants and nutella and a glass of orange juice. Takes about 10 minutes to eat. Then obviously you've got to have a shower to freshen up. Then into cycling kit and nutrition ready for the ride, by this time Ed has finished his hard boiled eggs and Jims finally had some sleep after the 10 o'clock flight over their hotel and realised his arm-warmers are on the right arm, or in short words they've arrived at the apartment.
9:00:
Out on the bikes for 60-70 miles, actually by the time we've finished it'll be 85 miles with a cafe stop or two. In the ride we'll spot the odd pros on their 'get fit' camps or riders on exceptionally flash bikes and a bit of banter. Also we have a official competition of who can sprint to the town sign first whoever's first gets a point.
Recently in the week myself, Callum and Ed have completed the ton (100 miles) which was hard, painful and a lot of gritting teeth and getting on with it moments and to start with in the 100 miles we even climbed up one side of the Valdemossa and the Soller which was fantastic.
2;00;
Around this time we would have arrived back from the ride and we'd have lunch and relax or go swimming in the pool that is the same size as me and as cold as Antarctica. Or go swimming at Eds hotel in their lovely, luxurious, hot, big pool. After this is dinner time either in the house or out at the local restaurant where you can get steak and chips for just 6 euros which is a bargain. Then bedtime for a very well earned sleep!
