My big ride of the trip

Check out my 90.3 km Ride on Strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/574555823

I got up early and left around 7:45am. Slightly cool but very sunny. The plan was to do the more challenging sections of climbing starting with the 6km climb just past

Genova  (near our apartment ) and work my way to Andratx and do the climbs along the east coast  we drove early in our last week. Beautiful vistas along smooth roads with many switchbacks.

At the 65km mark - Banyalbufar, it was time to head back to Palma. At that point I had enough climbing for the day. This "older" cyclist with no helmet, old soft mtn bike shoes and shorts, who spoke not a word of English came up to me and said "Palma?", and I nodded yes. I followed him in long winding descents into Palma. I'm  sure he was a pretty experienced rider...I  had a hard time keeping up with him.
