To spice things up, we’ve added a hill climb challenge to the final 350m of the climb, starting under the Sa Calobra bridge and finishing at Coll dels Reis.

For the last ride of the Summit we will take the category 4, 1.8km climb to the 14th Century Castell de Bellver, with an average gradient of 4.8%. This is 3km outside of Palma and offers spectacular views of the city. From there we descend back to the hotel.
The OD Port Portals is a 4-star hotel close to the luxurious yacht harbor of Puerto Portals, which boasts first-class restaurants, bars and boutiques. Combining contemporary design with mediterranean influences, the stylish hotel will be our base for the weekend. It is just a short drive from Palma, and is perfectly situated for us to ride out and discover the mountainous north of the island.
Each ride will depart from the hotel, and most of our off-bike activities will take place there too. An RCC hospitality desk will be staffed daily to answer any questions, and there will be secure bike parking all weekend. Professional mechanics will also be on hand for any last minute adjustments or fixes you may need.
Summit guests benefit from a special discounted rate when booking additional nights at our Summit hotel. If you would like to arrange additional nights before or after the Summit Mallorca, email olga.estelrich@od-hotels.com and quote Summit Mallorca
If you’re staying nearby, you will be able to keep your bike at the secure bike storage in the Summit hotel if you’d like.
Join us at the Summit hotel for the start of rides each day. Please note, breakfast at the Summit hotel is not included if you are staying elsewhere.

To ensure that everyone has a fun and safe weekend, we encourage club members to come prepared and proactive. You should pre-load the routes onto your bike computer, and build and break down your bike, for example. On the first day of the Summit, we’ll provide advice on riding in groups, as well as the local highway code.
Throughout the Summit, a service desk will be staffed by RCC team members during the day. Be it the location of a dinner, or the finer details of your schedule for the day, you’ll find the answer here.
