Has anyone ridden the complete length of the GR221 ?
Appreciate its a hiking trail butI've ridden sections in and around Soller / Bunyola in the past but i fancy doing the whole length over a few days.
There was a small snippet in Feb 17' MBR but no real detail.
I understand some sections will be more 'Hike a bike' and there are refuges en route which i have tracked down but i would be keen to see if anyone has ridden it.....
Thanks
Nick
Not ridden. It but ran the section from Valdemossa to Pollensa.
Access issues aside (I saw a few no bike signs at the top of the pass above soller) I think it'd be a good adventure but you will definitely be hiking a good chunk of the uphills. I remember running along and trying to take my mind off how painful my feet? were by planning to ride it.
Lastly,you'd need to be very good at steep very rocky descents. They love a good rock do the Mallorcan trail builders!
I think I've ridden most of it as part of "la Travessa" tour with Tony at Tramunt bike:-

I say I think I;ve ridden most of it, as I dont think Tonys route follows the gr221 exactly, but its probably close enough.
Thanks Guys, really useful Link
