Café du Cycliste AW/26 Launch Ride – Discover the New Season on Mallorca’s Roads 🚴‍♂️☕✨

A new season calls for a new ride. The Café du Cycliste AW/26 Launch Ride brings the Mallorca cycling community together for a special social ride celebrating the launch of the brand’s Autumn/Winter 2026 collection.

Starting from the Café du Cycliste store in the heart of Palma, riders head out towards the island’s quieter inland roads, combining social riding with some of Mallorca’s beautiful countryside and classic cycling terrain.

🌴 Exploring Mallorca’s Interior

The 85 km route leaves Palma and heads into the centre of the island, taking riders through some of Mallorca’s quieter villages and rural landscapes.

With stops and sections around Algaida, Montuïri, Sencelles and Santa Maria, the route offers a different perspective on Mallorca compared to the famous Tramuntana climbs. Rolling roads, open countryside and traditional villages provide the backdrop for a fast-moving but social day in the saddle.

This ride is aimed at intermediate to advanced cyclists with a good level of fitness and previous experience riding in a group.

The planned pace of approximately 28–30 km/h means participants should be comfortable maintaining a steady effort over several hours. While the atmosphere remains social, this is a ride for cyclists who enjoy a more dynamic tempo.

☕ Coffee Before the Ride

Café du Cycliste riders are encouraged to arrive wearing their Café du Cycliste kit. As with the brand’s regular rides, participants riding in the kit can enjoy a complimentary coffee at the store before heading out ☕

It’s a good opportunity to meet fellow riders, check out the new season and start the day with one of cycling’s most important rituals: coffee before kilometres.

• Helmet and clip-in pedals are mandatory 🪖
