| Vets - about 50 riders.
A bit impatient so I started things going on the dikes. Attacks followed for the rest of the ride. 3rd on first sprint - dangerous move to port by shiny EV. Pulled a bunch. Bull got away on Iona with another. More interested in the mass sprint. Thought I timed it well - went early just behind EV then went wide alone. Had 4 or my wheel pulled them to a few hundred - turned into a road wide sprint. First time beating Ukrane - but 3 just got by. Apparently Vic followed a punter into the coned divider near DeltaH. Vic got a broken helmet - other guy got an ambulance. | ||

| Day 9
Rebound from yesterday. Rode with Hamish. Chased the boys around coast road with Jerome in tow. Caught up to them in Banyalbufar cafe. Stayed for coffee & chat with waitress. Chased to Valldemossa - caught them just as they arrived. Boys called it a day. The two of us continued. Hame declared "there's no Pweege in me" so we compromised on Soller and Orient. Checked out Cala de Deia en route (super nice beach) - rode down the stairs and right into the Med. Crossed paths with a group of cycling senoritas outside of Soller. Rocked the col de Soller pretty hard - backed off near the top but finished strong. Attacked the Orient hard. Cruised into Alaro. Tucked in for a super strong time trial to Esporles. Hame was riding very strong as usual - but I got a little possessed and rode him off my wheel. Both of us were tired so we eased up the "regular" ride home. I punched it at the top and down the other side of Galilea - then cruised it on in. An excellent finish to a sweet training camp. | ||

| Day 5
Solo. Long and hard peppered with shots of high intensity. Weather changed two dozen times but no rain. Puigpunyet - Esporles - Bunyola via small road - Orient Climb (very nice - went hard near the top) - Mancor - picked up a chaser - so time trialed it to Caimari - eased through town - then attacked the col de Batalle hard cw sprint from bridge to finish. - up the back of Puig Major - quick stop in Fontalutx - wanted to do coast road but look of storm moving in sent me back over Puigpunyet. Rest of way home was total Zen. Pleased with condition of legs. Little twinges in R. hip after racing the col de Batalle - could just be due to yesterday's spill. Coming out of Valldemossa in the evening... I waved to an oncoming cyclist... when he waved back... he reminded me of Eric Zabel... later I found out that Zabel is on the island - just a coincidence? | ||

| Day 4
Puigpunyet - coast road towards Valdemossa. Met up a 60 year old French dude. It took about 10 minutes for me to switch from Spanish to French. We ended up having a nice conversation. Brother was rockin' all the uphills - super cool. He told me a few things about the towns we were passing. Clouds blew in and it started to rain near Daia - then dried up but not before I went "patiner" through a greasy corner even though I was being super cautious. Entered Soller and Monsieur stayed on the coast while I went into town to start the climb through Fronalutx. Did the Puig Major steady - it got rainier and colder as I approached the tunnel. Got to the top in anticipation of watching the race - but decided that hanging around wasn't worth dying of hypothermia. Started down and ran into Hamish riding up. We climbed to the top and sat in Peter's car to warm up and watch the race. Drive down to Soller for cafes con leche and then drive into Daia where we began the ride home via Puigpunyent. Legs feel good - no complaints from joints despite the volume. | ||

A good day. | ||
