Sa Batalla to Coll dels Reis, Mallorca

Sa Batalla to Coll dels Reis

I've always wanted to cycle up the climb from Sa Calobra to the Coll dels Reis (682m) and despite holidaying and cycling on Mallorca for many years, I'd never plucked up the motivation to do it - until this year (2023).  The challenge is that it's not just the 9km of intense climb - it's the 40km of cycling and climbs I have to travel from our house in Pollenca to get to the start!  

I recognise that not everyone wants to do 40km in one ride - especially as there are also several stiff climbs, so I've split this journey into several (x11) smaller segments. 

This part of the journey covers the road from the Sa Batalla turn-off to the summit of Coll dels Reis. You get some gorgeous views out to sea and the climb to the Coll dels Reis after the Gorg Blau Aqueduct but you don't get the fun downhill into Sa Calobra!

This [playlist] covers the return journey and the following videos cover the outward journey(also covered by this [playlist]).
