To be fit at every time.

• Arranged by the hotels a doctor is available nearly all the time. We can say by the way, that medical care is very good on Mallorca and if necessary - hopefully never - we collaborate with very good hospitals only.

  You can make an appointment by phone for an injury treatment or recovery massage after your cycling efforts. The therapy takes place in hotel Taurus Park. An extended back- neck- and leg massage of one hour is also possible (look Special Price below).

 

Additional possibilities, if you do not want to cycle every now and then.

Our local agency respective the hotels offer lots of different, varied and interesting possibilities of alternation (trips by coach, train and boat, shows and events; additional payment necessary). This is interesting in particular for those accompanying guests, who do not participate in cycling but are welcome nevertheless. But perhaps they are made so enthusiastic by our bike sports programmme, that they share next time.

Welcome to the bicycle sports paradise Mallorca!

 

 

The "quite different manner" of greeting.

• Technical advices (material, maintenance, repair),
• tips concerning riding technique (sitting position, cycling in groups, clothing, training),
• sports corresponding behaviour (feeding, body care),
