Before you ride
The download is the climb only. If you ride down to the coast first, include that descent and your approach in your day's plan. Pace the ascent and carry enough water.
A GPX is a planning aid, not live road-status information. Check the course, weather and current official access notices before riding. Carry water, food and the equipment needed for your ride.

THE LEGENDARY CLIMB
Some climbs you simply ride. Others stay with you for a lifetime.
Sa Calobra is one of those climbs.
Hidden deep within the spectacular Serra de Tramuntana mountains, Mallorca's most legendary cycling road has earned its place on the bucket list of road cyclists around the world.
The experience begins long before the climbing starts. As you descend towards the small coastal village of Sa Calobra, the road twists through dramatic limestone cliffs, endless hairpin bends, and breathtaking mountain scenery. Every corner reveals another unforgettable view.
But the real story begins at the bottom.
Once you've reached the sea, there's only one way back: up.
The climb from the coast towards Coll dels Reis demands patience, determination, and a steady rhythm. With every turn of the pedals, you climb higher above the Mediterranean, leaving the valley further behind.
The famous 270-degree Nus de sa Corbata bend is a reminder that this is no ordinary road. It's a masterpiece of mountain engineering and one of the most photographed corners in cycling.
Your legs begin to burn. Your breathing gets heavier. The road keeps rising.
But you keep going.
And finally, when you reach the top and look back towards the winding road below, something special happens.
You realise that the greatest reward isn't your average speed, your power output, or your Strava time.
It's knowing that you did it.
Sa Calobra isn't just a climb. It's an achievement you'll carry with you long after the ride is over.
I Ride Mallorca. Earn the Climb. Remember the Ride.
