Mallorca Trip - Day 8, October 15, 2008




Today's ride out to Cape Formentor was the highlight of the trip for us! The climb over the summit to Formenter junction was challenging and we pushed a good pace, stopping for a photo op along the way. From the junction (beach and ferry port) we continued up the 12km climb along Devil's Tail to the lighthouse. This was an amzing ride we will never forget - craggy mountains and cliffs with no barriers. (The dark tunnel was a little scary!) It was an ah - ha moment when we turned the corner and saw the lighthouse. Certainly worth the climb! We took the ferry back from the junction to Port Pollenca and then rode back to the hotel. Total mielage for the day was 40 miles with lots of climbing. We enjoyed a late lunch (veal salad) with Bobbi and Mark on the beach patio. I took a short nap in the afternoon and did a weight work out and sauna. Buffet dinner at the hotel.
