Today was a 40 mile recovery ride out to Port Andratx for lunch and back. We started the morning with wet roads but encountered only a light mist for a brief period. Never needed the rain gear but the rain booties kept our shoes dry and clean. By lunch time the sun was shining! We stopped with the group at Es Capdella for cappuchino. We had lunch at a seafood restaurant Barlovento next to the yacht club and dined in an open air covered patio - watched the divers haul in their catch. Rich and I passed on the seafood (paella, nicoise, sardines) and had a disappointing salad & oversalted ravioli - Rich liked the sangria. It was late and long lunch. There was a climb back and then we had another flat tire - fortunately it was in a village and a convenient spot. We followed the McCreadys back - got lost and hated the MUPS! It was good thing that we were all in the "recovery ride" mode - otherwise this would have been a very frustrating day of cycling. We got back to the hotel late and decided to pass on the group activities (tour of Palma and tapas bar). We hit the sauna instead and headed into town on our own. This was a holiday so our little French restaurant was closed. We went back to the same Italian wine bar and enjoyed salad, caprese and a great bottle of Spanish wine.
