Hi all, A lot of people have expressed an interest in a club trip to Majorca next spring, so I have pulled together some proposed details, based around a 1 week "spring camp" package with Stuart Hall cycling. See attached document which gives details, including dates and prices. This will be open to all paid up club members plus friends/partners/spouses. Spring 2015 Mallorca - Provisional plan.pdf (436.75 KB) The advantages of going with an organised cycling tour operator rather than booking the hotel independently are 1) Selection of organised rides each day with mechanical support, 2) Transfers from/to airport included 3) Less hassle for the person tasked with organising the trip (probably me!). The additional cost compared with booking independently is minimal if anything. We will still be booking our flights independently, and at circa £300 per person for a week's accommodation & transfers, I think it is very good value. We are looking at booking this early to secure discounted rates with Stuart Hall and get the cheapest flight prices. To allow us to negotiate the best deal, I need to know numbers ASAP, so if you are interested (and by interested I mean willing to pay a £100 deposit within the next few weeks), please post your name below, or send me a message. Thanks, Graham

Hi all, thanks for replies. There is no major deadline other than we need to book with Stuart Hall before mid December to secure the discounted rate for the accomodation. Obviously the later we leave it to book the more chance there is that the flights will be dearer or even worse fully booked. However there is no problem leaving it for a few weeks if that helps people to figure out plans, save money, rob a bank, etc

UPDATE!! For anyone else who might be considering going on our Majorca week, the cost of the Stuart Hall package has come down to £295 per person (based on 2 sharing a room). Flights are currently £159 pp (including 1 bag), so the total cost for the week (excluding bike hire or bike transport supplement) will be only £460 per person. This includes a choice of guided & supported rides each day. We currently have 11 people confirmed, but would be great to get the numbers up to around 20. A few people have asked me if non members can come, to which the answer is of course! I would also reiterate that this trip is open to partners as well, even if they aren't cyclists. The hotel we are planning to stay at has been refurbished for the 2015 season to bring it up to 4-star rating, and offers plenty of facilities for anyone wanting to just chill out for the week. It is 100m from the beach, has a large pool area, health spa centre with relaxation pool, whirlpool, sauna, Turkish bath and fitness area, and is only 1.4 km from the centre of Puerto Pollensa. What are you waiting for?!!
