Mallorca, with its excellent climate almost all year around, can be an option for a cycling getaway anytime. The best conditions with milder temperatures would be in spring, from March to June, and the fall season, September to November. The winter months are best if you prefer low traffic during rides. Summer is hot, but with early morning starts we can assure some very pleasant easy rides.

Our cycling experiences are limited usually to 12 riders. On the other hand, we can tailor any of our tours for larger groups. Please contact us for details at hola@boc-cycling.es

In order to secure your spot, a 500 euros deposit is required at the time of reservation. The remaining balance will need to be paid, latest, 3 months prior the starting date. In case your reservation is within 3 months, full payment is required.

The earlier the better, in our opinion, to secure your spot. Many of our cycling adventures are sold out 6 months in advance.

A minimum of 6 or 8 riders, depending on the experince, are required to start a tour. If the minimum number is not reached we always find a solution. We have never had to cancel a tour.

All rides are accompanied by two guides, while mechanical and nutritional support is provided by our support van at all times.

We highly recommend trying to finish every ride, at your own pace if you can not keep up with the rest of the team. BOC-Cycling is not a harsh, soul killing boot-camp, if you have any issues to continue, we’ll always be there to give you a hand.

Depending on the adventure of your choice, you’ll receive a training guideline according to the tour. In a nutshell, regular cycling is highly recommended at least a few months before any event.

Is the bike hire included in the price and what are the options?
