What the course asks of you
All three routes begin by crossing the Serra de Tramuntana, the mountain range along the island's north-west coast, where the long climbs are. The 312 km then continues around the flatter south and east of the island, where the challenge becomes distance, wind and time limits.
The mountains come early, when you feel fresh: ride them well below your threshold. On the 312, more than half of the day is still to come when you leave the Tramuntana.
How to prepare
The general shape of a good preparation, which Event Coach turns into a plan for your fitness, time and date:
- Train long climbs: steady efforts of 30 to 60 minutes just below your threshold match the cols of the Mallorca 312 far better than short intervals.
- Build the long day: rides of five to seven hours in the final two months, towards the 312 km of the route you choose.
- Practise eating and drinking on a schedule, and descending: a mountain day is as much going down as going up.
Pacing mistakes to avoid
The mistakes that cost riders the most on a day like this:
- Treating the first climb of the Mallorca 312 as a race: a long col ridden above the pace you can hold for hours costs you the rest of the day.
- Saving nothing for the last climb, where the most kilometres are already in your legs.
- Skipping food on the descents: the next climb starts with what you ate on the way down.
