Challenge the Pros at the Sa Calobra Time Trial

Currently going through a cancer battle of their own, Dan and Emelie will be donating the entire profits of the race to charity. The aim of the event is bring people to the beautiful island of Mallorca to enjoy the incredible cycling that is on offer, alongside being able to raise money for cancer charities.

First organised in 2014 as a closed road time trial up the legendary Sa Calobra they are hoping to expand the event in coming years to become a whole weekend of cycling and celebration. This year they have added a full day cycling itinerary for those who don't dare to take on the time trial but still want to be a part of the event. The loop will start and finish in the Port de Soller and is suitable for all levels of cyclist, including those who are fairly new to the sport.

The main event is of course the TT, the time trial. With the help of the UK Continental team “One Pro Cycling” and a number of other relationships both here in Mallorca & the UK, they have managed to create an interesting guest list of riders so that you can not only challenge yourself on this climb against the clock but you can take your chance at racing some of the top pros.

Professional and celebrity riders, will include One Pro Cycling’s George Harper and Chris Opie. Former England cricketer Matt Prior will be on the start line, alongside former Katusha rider Joan Horrach.

It’s not for the faint hearted, though, with the climb measuring 9.4km in distance, taking in 26 hairpins and an average gradient of 7.2 per cent. With only 100 places available, time is running out to book your place for the event that takes place on 3rd October 2015.
